    I think you'd have killed the whole purpose of wards if you did that (neighborhood be dead in the vast majority of circumstances, more so than already).

    I would be impressed they were able to do that, and I might think if this is literally the best you can do then so be it.. but if we could hypothetically gauge happiness as a value I'd only move slightly upwards and a lot of other feelings would increase some being negative. My reaction would be like a sincere "wow that impressive" and a sarcastic "well done".

    I believe the wards function better when they're limited, each time the wards expand I think they shoot themselves in the foot- and I think their limitations shoot the housing potential in the foot.

    Desire: Everyone can have a home, and that the feature set of housing increases greatly. Both of these are important to me. (I don't seek the destruction of the wards, and I actively look for ways that ward users and instanced users could benefit together).

    The ward system prevents us from getting larger houses and larger yards, it prevents us from using certain objects and themes, it holds us back in our ability to place objects, the wards in my mind are shackles. Making impressive shackles comes with mixed feelings, lol.

    It's an old video and Wildstar isn't the only game to do this, but this is and has been for a long time my end goal desire- I linked a fairly short "trailer" of that system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Q8wS-TR84 .

    I'll be impressed if you made 1:1 housing via the ward system, but it's not what I wish for and will be disappointed in quite a few ways (limited and missed opportunities, system that's defeating itself when it expands, etc).
