Can we please just have instanced housing already?

I don't find that the open world is dead. I always see people around. They need to be wary of many of the mistakes made in other games. I think having vendors and the retainer bell was not the best idea. I hope the market board is never brought into housing (has it?). One of the huge mistakes Blizzard did was to have Mining and Herbing available to everyone in the garrisons. (I know garrisons are not housing, but it is cited as a reason against housing for WoW). The whole garrison thing killed cities and the open world for most of one expansion.

There are multiple MBs spread around every ward, though they are positioned closer to some plots than others. I don't think it necessarily encourages people to stay there though, especially when the tax is so high on some higher priced items. If I can save myself 5-30k I will happily teleport to where I need to go to get things cheaper.
