I had just waited for TWELVE hours on a plot: it had a good spot, it was near a marketboard, it was a small plot too like I wanted.
Twelve hours wasted because while I was there ready to press a buy button the plot was already bought by another player that just spammed the plaque, as apparently the status of the plot doesn't update in the plot window!

How hard is it to just show a timer on the menu? What is even the point of hiding the timer? I don't get it. The biggest frustration with housing is just not being able to even know when the plot is available for purchase.

It feels as if the entire system is more rewarding to whoever uses bots, as you can't expect a human to just sit there and spam the spot with purchase requests for hours on end. Especially if they play on consoles like I do.
