I see one of the main issues with the housing system is resource distribution, and to fix that, you need to free the resources that players are taking up that exceed the restrictions listed at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ .

While adding more wards helps, I still like the ward system (rather than the instanced one) as it allows for social and RP stuff that an instanced system cannot do - which is why FFXIV's genre is the MMORPG.
The issue isn't resource distribution of existing houses, the issue is simply that there's not enough supply for the demand. No amount of resource distribution will fix that issue. The solution is either a doubling of the number of existing wards or a mix of wards and instanced housing (not just more apartments); boom, everyone is happy...except SE who has to actually spend the money on additional server hardware and programming.

When the supply if is finally equal to the demand then people owning a ward is a non issue. We shouldn't be asking SE to put bad band aids on the situation and settling for something that will only piss off everyone. We should be pushing SE to actually do a viable fix.
