It would get even more pronounced if the housing zones would allow for full on PvP to interrupt placard interaction - that would play a lot like Seal Rock actually >_>

Yes, but as you pointed out, that's the top 10/100. It's not arbitrary. And the ranked Feast is still the Feast, just with different matchmaking rolls. It's not the same as being locked out of the Feast completely just because you weren't able to log in fast enough a specific day.
