Because game mechanics are intentionally put into the game. The placard system (i.e. buying from the placard in general) is the system and mechanic. Camping for hours on end is an effect of that system, not an intentional mechanic. Like I said, people for some reason think the plot is gonna right away and dont bother to look into the devaluation timer (which can tell you how long a plot has been available for) and average pop times (usually between 8-10 hours after plot first pops). You can literally write down the plot number, go about your day, check on it every couple hours and closer to prime hours go back and do your camping.

Please point out where it says you HAVE to camp for x amount of hours. If it's written out in the official rules/guidelines for housing that you HAVE to wait for hours on end in front of a placard, I'll take back everything I've said.
