People work, they can be on a business or leisure trip, have family emergencies, etc.

Anyway, unless SE fixes their flawed system, it is a moot issue on most servers. There are three houses on my server up for grabs this week. There will be none left after this cycle unless the owner of a house gets permanently banned from the game or cancels his account.
2 days is reasonable I say. I never understood why people give a "reasonable" amount of time for everybody. You either got to be there or not. There are other events in the game that expire and people miss out on so what's the difference? Just like the 99 totems for a mount. 50 totems should be the max needed. Sometimes I feel they really want to drag things out in this game way to much XD
