Speaking of error, the actual housing rules are 1 personal per server and up to 8 FC houses per server. Know what you're talking about before spreading false information.
The random timer changed things significantly. Buying outside relocation now has the risk of the timer being really long which means sellers can't ensure their buyer will even be able to be online when the house becomes available, compared to the previous system.

I'd be interested in where you get the data to make the assertion that it's negligible, of course that would be covered under looking at the impact of them... you know... what I suggested.

Actually, the rules are that you can own 1 personal per server and can only buy an FC house if you are not part of an FC that owns housing on any of your other characters.

Similarly, there is an expectation that FCs should have at least four members to buy a house. The hoops you need to jump through to personally own the full 8 FC houses on a single account make it rather clear it's outside the intention of the rules and is ultimately taking advantage of things such as the game not punishing FCs that fall below the minimums
