Individual players shouldn't be allowed to purchase or relocate to Large plots.

Most players with houses never get to experience that "neighborhood feeling" unless they're close to a couple of active FC houses that have members going in and out on a regular basis.. Few people are asking for wards to be removed and replaced with instanced housing

Its why I stick to my idea of what they should do with wards.

Keep one copy of each in the world, and use the physical house entrances as the entrance to instanced areas, with a small re-design of the wards for additional vendor space. If you like the placement of a specific house in one ward, you could go to the placard there and buy an instanced version of it. Then loading in will put you in the yard of that specific instance. You could see randomly generated yards from other houses in that ward (and I assume you could set it to display specific ones you like looking at if they ever did that).

Then go inside and have your own space.

And in the ward itself, add more vendors, rowena turn-ins, and GC merchants, plus other things you might go to a major city for. Use the residential districts as a player driven city experience, and the major cities for world traveling / off-world shoutspam / new players.

this is good idea. one thing why limsa is so overcrowded is because the MB is very close to aetherite plaza. if housing ward has more NPC like this, maybe it would make it livelier and make limsa a little bit spacier.

I've always said that wards would be better if everyone could teleport directly from their house, and there was one central area of the Ward with the vendors, a couple of market boards, the NPC the visit other wards, etc. There are numerous market boards for 30 people. Why?

This idea could be on a per Ward basis, or all of the Mist wards, for example, have one general area.
