Isn't it safe to assume more wards have to be added?

Isn't it safe to assume....

Hmm, not really sure on this one. SE could go two routes here. One is add an Ishgard Ward or two is improve Apartments.

If you are doing this for me there's no need. Already lost 3 houses where I camped for around 3-6 hours in each (one of them being extremely frustrating due to nightime) and I have no intention of visiting a doctor so absolutely stopping here.
But really, who said this system is much better than what he had? Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could ever be worse than what we have now. Even no houses available or people selling them is still better than this. SE have really outdone themselves with this one. "You can finally get a house now, we finally figured out how! The only requirements are that the player must not sleep and get Carpal Tunnel. But hey, here's the exciting part, even if you end up with both (which you will), there's still no guarante you'll get a house!".

Ok just so you know agree with you there must be other way to let people obtain homes other then this current implemented system, maybe allow in game house market exchange with the SE establishing the house prices min/max and allowing one house to be sold per account.

Sorry to here about your troubles. Sadly RNG was SE attempt to players abusing the system and encouraging RMT use. For those who don't know, in the past players would buy a plot then have players buy the right for the "seller" to relinquish the plot at 5 or even 10 times the purchase price. The only other option I can think of is remove in game rules all together. A player signs up on a waiting list, when an opening happens the GM would contact the player by either in game or email setting up a time and date where they would purchase the land.

The new rules changed nothing on that front. This is still very much happening, the only difference now is that potential buyers must already have a crappy small house to relocate from. The problem with the timers is getting that small in the first place. FC housing sales weren't affected at all.

It's still less of a problem than before since the flippers have a harder time getting a plot themselves and then they're reliant on finding a buyer who already has a house but wants that specific plot.

Maybe we get a new housing ward in ishgard during 5.x

restoration of Ishgard it is.

Someone got a link to a reliable source about this Ishgard housing ? I keep seeing some people convinced that it will come, but the best i did see is SE saying something like "yes, we know that players want Ishgard to be more alive... yes, we know that players would like to live here..." when talking of the upcoming restoration. Not "yes there will be Ishgard housing in Shadowbringers". Did i miss something or are players hyping themselves too much on some rumors like the dancer being a healer ?

There's nothing but that small clip with the emphasis put on the "live in Ishgard" part that I know of. With the new expansion taking place in a different world, they may have wanted to keep player housing on the source world and the crafter/gatherer rebuilding process being Ishgard instead of something in the new area is probably their means of introducing the reasoning behind Ishgard suddenly having a home for adventurers. It's completely possible they're toying with us, but I do think they knew exactly what and how they were saying that bit on Ishgard.
