2.Once again, another person that doesn't understand why infinite wards can't be a thing. It's not server space, it's not "hardware limitations". It's Server-burden and how the server interprets and transfers data. Do some research.

3.Why make two completely separate housing systems, exactly? To appease a small group that cannot be bothered to deal with the current way of things? Boo hoo, I guess? Instanced Housing wouldn't be any better than Ward housing, infact it'd be even worse purely because it'd still take up the same amount of data, the same amount of server-burden. Just without a street to walk down and instead, just staring into an ugly abyss. Yeah, brilliant trade-off.

Ridiculous? Probably. Unacceptable? Well, you said yourself that on Mateus, Balmung and other "similar servers" are bought up within moments of there being new houses. So I guess it isn't as unacceptable as you think. Housing isn't a blight, you're just too obsessed with it.
Just because YOU aren't mad doesn't mean people aren't angry. There's lots of people, in game, on these forums, who are right PISSED. You can white knight all that you want for 'why it can't happen' and buy some crock of an excuse but I went through Cisco, did you? There are plenty of other games who have zero issue with housing allocation for EVERYONEYou have obviously never played RIFT, EverQuest 1 or EverQuest II because people are perfectly content with their housing system. No one here is HAPPY with the housing system other than those who were fortunate enough to not get server lobby errors, who have 100 million gil to get a medium house by buying someone else's FC, or just plain got lucky enough to get a bigger house.

The people who have been trying for literal YEARS to get into a medium and still don't have one (Today, they got eaten up by individuals. Not even FC's in the first FORTY FIVE SECONDS OF LAUNCH ON BALMUNG) - Those people? We're pissed. Don't call it a feature if everyone can't enjoy it as long as they've worked for it. We can't even get lucky to find one open after a demo because of the ridiculous RNG timer. You can spam click it for 24 straight hours and still lose it to someone who had luckier timing than you.
