An end to the camping timer. An end to resale. A return to...

spend some time and resources on the idea of housing

That's the biggest barrier.

If instanced housing is around the corner, or the next ward expansion adds wards 25-80, then the problem is solved and this idea can be ignored. My suggestion is grounded in the current housing system since that is what we have to work with.

And again, it does indeed stop campers, I have said that I want to abolish the timer with this change. The house is walk-up-and-buy at 40 mil, and will drop a few mil in price per day until it's worth someone's while. If it's only worth it to you after 2 more devalues, you know to come back in 12 hours. There's nothing to click, so no more camp. You buy it when it hits your price, or you get outbid.

You can still do housing infinitely better by making it instanced. But sure, they can fix the timer if they do that as well as whatever else you say, doesnt improve on the housing as a whole in my opinion. Housing in this game is still 1 dimensional, besides people cleverly owning up entire wards to make their gingerbread neighborhood, or RP cafe district. You dont build the house wall by wall, you just put a precrafted shell on a precrafted foundation and plug a precrafted roof on top. Boring as hell, if you ask me. Luckilly clever designers have figured out ways to glitch in pieces here and there to create a more customized experience in such a bland system. But yeah charging more for a dull housing experience makes a lot of sense somehow, if you keeo willing yourself to believe that, i guess.
