So, housing mafia instantly bought most of small houses...

I think 1 house restricted to 1 character per server is fair. Why would you need a personal house on all your alts on the same server? Surely one is enough. I don't think housing is meant to be traded around - it's just an unfortunate loophole in the system (one that, admittedly, should've been obvious) that has created a weird market. This is why instance housing would've worked so much better. :V

because you can't share a house with an alt...the whole ridiculous restrictions on alts certainly is part of the problem (no auto sharing a house, no mailing, etc.)

Agree with this, too.. A house should be "account-wide". Or, you should at least be able to add permissions for whom ever you want to give full access/privileges to the house. Things like this are practically standard in housing systems I've looked at in other MMOs.

Again, another area SE botched it.
