    Even after they sold that house these players would continue to use their alts to buy up any new House Wards to repeat the same process again.

    There is currently no safety measures to prevent players from buy up new Housing Wards on alts and selling it for a greater amount of prices to other players.

    As of now the Housing system is a game of real estate where rich players with countless multiple alt characters buy up Housing Wards with those alts to sell to other players for a higher price than the original price.

    That said, limiting the houses to one per account I doubt will fix the shortage. Scrapers can't the only cause of the problem. The number of players that want a house greatly out number the number of plots.

    While it won't solve the shortage it will certainly opening up more plots to be used and prevent rich players that already have their own Personal House from trying to take other House Wards from other players that don't have a Personal House.

    It's still pretty much just kicking the can down the road though.

    If they fix the shortage (instanced housing?) then all the restrictions won't be necessary.

    Like I said it won't solve the shortage but will open up a lot more House (maybe farm more than opening up new wards)

    Instance housing would have been ideal but first they had to figure out how to provide housing without facing their so called Server limits which was why they set up wards since as SE said they don't have the necessary server power to support Instance Housing for the entire community. It is something SE should fix but as of now restrictions are the only SE can perform now to prevent players from having multiple housing for their account.
