Yup. People could at least get sleep, feed their families, go to their jobs, do content in the game itself, take the family dog to potty. Heck, even go potty themselves without the worry of losing out to some random person that appeared the moment they went to stretch their legs after waiting 16 hours for a plot?
What's in place now is unbearably cruel.
A random timer that can last what? 48 hours, and has a second time that devalues it every 6?
What will it take for them to pay attention to this, someone dying?
Housing has been out for a long time now, it needs to be fixed asap.
