"Wants" scaling getting a little ridiculous

"Want" scaling can get to be a bit out of hand, especially when nobles start rapidly bombarding you with requests and more outlandish ones. My leader had a request, had it satisfied, then immediately another noble had a request. Within moments my leader had yet another request for me.

If there isn't, there should be more of an internal cooldown between requests--both for your kingdom overall, and for who's making the request.

Additionally, some of the requests scale rather ridiculously. I'm in my second cycle (what other games would call year 2), and yet my leader is asking for a 36p large light source. While this maybe could be made by perfect crafting a silver brazier, the only way to reasonably make this is via gold, something that is in short supply this early in the game and very unlikely to be researched.

Likewise another noble wants an expensive bed, that even a fancy bed is unlikely to satiate. The wants should at the very least factor in the possible recipes available and known, as well as crafter and builder levels, especially since, unlike with workbenches, there's no way to automatically keep attempting a craft until you meet a prestige threshold. (These ridiculous requests don't even have to be removed outright--just made much less likely at the very least.)
