No, from your other posts. Stay away from sarcasm and humour. You are better suited to grinding the market board and glorying in your imaginary money and real estate =)

Thanks for the like though!

Honestly, I rather deal with the high-price or do like a lottery of potential buyer. I legit spend over 12h camping placard and only to get shank by relocators, twice. Hell, even when you do savage you know u are getting something out of it if complete, and even if you didn't the experiences still count. Camping a placard is IMO NOT a productive way to spend your time, especially when you paying for it not only monetary wise, but also progression/health.

And even with the high-price, it won't solve the current limits housing crisis we are facing in the long run. People will eventually get the money, but the plots of land available still stay the same. We will go back to the same placard camping BS again.

I'm sorry but your little joy of snooping into people's houses is supporting this beyond broken system.

I find it sad that the people who like this, or the 2.0 method, already have what they want and just seem to come in here to dump on players who see it for what it is.. a broken and extremely unhealthy system.

Instancing wards is the SOLE solution. Period. Anyone who has any cents to rub together when it comes to game systems design can already see that.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh to you, but you're being rather ridiculous and not considering people aside from yourself. You can't even see how moving wards OFF of the dungeon server and onto their OWN server via instances can solve a lot of server troubles. A ward will always be that, a ward, that's open.. within it's own instance that people can come and go to whoever's home is open etc.

I don't even see why you are insistent on arguing this point unless you just don't want people to enjoy housing as well.

Can you explain something to me because there must be something I'm not understanding about instanced wards. There's 18 wards per housing area. They're not instanced, so they exist at all times taking up hardware resources. Let's say they all get turned to instances. Then, more wards can be created on the fly giving enough housing for everyone. I have an apartment, personal house, and my FC has a house; each are in different wards. When I run around in any of them, I typically see at least one or two other people there. I assume many wards are like that, each with a couple of people in them. So, if they let the amount of instances climb higher than what the maximum the servers can do, which I suspect will easily happen, then wouldn't people have to start queuing up to get into their houses if their ward isn't currently created, potentially for long periods of time? What am I not getting here?

When people are asking for instanced housing, it's something akin to the apartments where it's created/destroyed in memory on the fly, rather than something static like the wards. Essentially, once nobody is in the instanced house, it gets unloaded from memory.
