Possible solution?

No. Its far too complicated for one. I feel like i would need a chart to explain this to a new player. Secondly, shortening the timer isnt as much of a benefit as you might think. A shorter window will lead to more people camping and them clicking more desperately. And it still doesnt do anything about bots. If the solution is still going to include timers, moving away from clicks seems like the more reasonable answer. The thread further down the front page about a "Camping Mode" is a much more elegant solution.

Oh, and posting the exact same copy-paste thing 12 separate threads is not cool. Make one post(this), or add it to the megathread. If the idea is worth discussing, everyone will notice it and talk about it.

If this is complicated don't ever be a Botanist and do Ephemeral Nodes. I'll simplify it. Demo > Relocation > Wait period > Up for sale with timer. This is a high-end, well-known MMORPG people will always abuse the limits. Idk what to do about a clicking solution other than X clicks per day. The camping thread still makes you waste an entire day by being logging in not being able to play the game that only solves the clicking solution.

I'm liking it more and more. Really is onto something. How about a phase to relocate and a phase to buy so they don't overlap and then start the 'camping' process. Down payment would be a must as to assure auto-assigning the plot to a winning 'camper'.
