The more systems SE add to ease the 'housing crisis', the more ways people will find to cheat the systems.
I agree that the more SE tried to fix the system the worse it got, but that’s no excuse to not try and fix it again.

As it stands now, the biggest issue is the relocation mechanic, as this effectively means that people that already own a plot get preference over people who don’t (relocation bypasses the hidden timer), so if they’d remove that it would be great already.

My friends and I have already missed on 6 plots after camping them (one was camped for 12 hours in turns, not kidding) because someone relocated. We even found someone who wrote a script (internal, which is fine) to have their character check on the placard every second. Only problem was he was afk and was using a clicker or something similar to trigger the macro, as he kept doing the same action even after successfully buying the house. We got everything on video and immediately reported him obviously.

What upsets me though is that people almost HAVE to resort to this kind of behaviour because of SE’s poor management of the housing system. I’m not justifying it, however I do understand why someone would not want to waste days of paid time clicking furiously in front of a house.
