instead of people killing themselves to camp a house for 40 hours, I wonder if it would be possible to have a house-camp button
you park your character there, click "camp", and then you can physically leave your computer. when the timer triggers, 1 random player in "Camp" mode gets picked and gets that house.
it's functionally the same as the current system, except you don't have to kill yourself sitting there pressing 2 buttons until someone relocates to the plot you are at.
if this was implementable, it seems to me that bots and macros would have no more advantage than anyone else, everyone would have the same chance to lock their character into a plot and have a chance of getting it.
