In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

[Alleo]

My housing solution:

1) Return all money and items to all players and reset all plots.

Yes lets punish all house owners even more because SE created a bad system. There are still lots of people that only have one house or maybe one private and one FC house. Your solution would punish all of them. Also if they create an dynamic housing system that adds wards if they are full (which is probably not possible with the system right now since they are probably really stressing on the servers) why would they even need to take the houses away in the first place? Just introduce the rule with the 1 personal 1 FC house and have dynamic wards after that.

Also I know games like Wildstars and Rift where you can have at least one nice personal house/dimension (in Rift you can have like 20 active dimensions or something like that) so why should be only stick to a lesser system if they could introduce something that would be good for people and FC?

There are immediate issues with this proposed solution.

3) Now there's a pressing, perhaps fatal concern. Housing for all on a game with 10 million registered users would be ENORMOUSLY expensive, and that money would have to come from somewhere. Do you have an idea of a dollar figure on this?

We do not have 10 million people playing the game right now. Probably not even 1 million of active players. Also other games can do that fine. The problem in this one are the wards themselves. Since they are always existing even if nobody is in there, they eat quite the resources. Having completely instanced houses would take away from that quite a lot and should make it possible for everyone owning a house (heck even owning one in each zone). Dynamical wards are probably not that good because they would take more resources but if they want to stick to their faulty system then they either need to put more money in it and truly create such a system or they will always leave behind a quite angry customer base.
