I see a lot of suggestions get tossed around for housing but seems like people are opposed to most of them, and full heartedly state why they disagree (that's fine) but usually forget to input their suggestions on how to go in a positive direction. I've kind of been behind the instanced housing ideology, but not just 100 item cap no tenant apartment instanced housing. Think like vastly improved over that. I've also said these improved apartments should be subject to the same house decay as normal houses and you can also keep a regular non decaying apartment alongside it, but cannot own a ward house as well as the improved apt. I think that is the fairest way to address the housing situation outside of just opening dozens of new wards and quit trying to incentivize transferring to other data centers or worlds etc.

There are reasons why lottery system is trading in 1 issue for another that will be a abuse prone as well as keeping the supply far too limited. Even if the original idea was to keep housing limited in the beginning the population has ballooned in a FAR greater capacity than what was imagined so limited supply became WAY TOO limited supply and has been a constant source of grievous problems for people wanting to get in the scene while people already invested get slammed or trolled and attacked for actually you know.. owning a house. Kind of mind boggling.
