The only solution IS instanced or a instanced and non-instanced mix. Perhaps non-instanced for Free Companies?
Take a look at examples like ESO and such, gardening would be of no issue either. The "community feel" has never existed really as people are not too social in wards.
There is a bigger picture here, and the solutions they are doing even despite the latest talk of they are working on a way for everyone to get a house when reality is... they are just adding more wards

Actually... we all should have the option, else why even implement a form of housing system?
