Housing Transfers Should Be On Timers

[Shougun]

I'm not asking to end the wards, just make them ONLY available to FCs; which would solve a number of issues in the game. It won't solve all, and players will find a work around, but it would solve a few of the demand issues.

I think that would be a dangerous path, unless you meant something else . Like I said I sincerely believe majority people would be impressed if SE was able to make something like Wild Star (every player can have an instanced house + zone for personal use but can share and visit other people just like people do now), but... some people will certainly not be impressed being kicked off a system.

I think you might be able to suggest that only FC can buy ward housing at the introduction of the instanced system (so people who have a house previously can maintain it if they so wish). Still.. I believe it would be better to just leave it as is (wards) and let players choose to migrate to an instanced area on their on volition, even allow FC to have their own zone. If the wards get smaller as I assume they will they can choose to do something with them as they get smaller, like collapsing them down or if truly abandoned then creating a Dark Cloud / WoW garrison system for NPC that a player or FC set up (could be cool if FC own an entire "instanced" ward, with the main area being customize-able guild hall and the rest being a sort of Dark Cloud / WoW garrison).

Is that what you meant, like future forward they're only for FC (but current owners will be grandfathered)? I think that would lessen the salt but generally I still think the instanced system should be offered as an alternative for player and FC and the wards continue as they are (at least until the wards become unused, if that ever happens). The FC instance can be different than the player one, like I think a FC being able to purchase a ward (instanced for themselves) could lead to a lot of growth feeling.
