If you can't provide instanced housing, what about...

[Naunet]

It doesn't matter how expensive something is if there are zero available for purchase...

Obviously. But if there were to theoretically be "enough", then price would come forward as a limiting factor.

I want affordable instanced housing for every single player who desires a home/zone with the flexibility, enjoyment, creativity and long lasting survivability of Rift, nothing less imo.

Pretty much anything less is just... so ridiculously subpar. SE needs to suck it up and redo the system. They can keep the framework for the current thing for some special FC-only housing or something, but seriously... Why make their housing system so deliberately restrictive when multiple games have shown how incredible (and how readily players will engage) it can be?
