Why not instanced plots?

I don't like the idea of instanced housing, because imo I like a place where you could move freely around the houses of other players, not to mention other places you could go to (beach, pool etc.)

You don't need to get rid of that though. Hell you can still have multiple wards but make each house hold 20 or so 'instances' that you load into once you enter their yards. You legit don't need to get rid of the wards and I'd actively discourage doing so because actually having a tiered set up might make them viable again.
