Multiple servers now have little to no housing available for returning or new players. The new system of lockouts after a plot is abandoned makes it all but impossible to acquire one as it typically just gets relocated into by an existing plot owner or you are competing with a dozen other people spamming the placard with no indication when it'll work. Obviously you want to avoid flippers who purchase plots strictly to resell. Couldn't you just limit it to people who have owned the plot a certain amount of months? Housing is pretty much a major feature for a lot of people playing the game and its unavailable to many.
