Major changes needed for housing

[Vahlnir]

I don't think it's irrelevant when SE grandfathered people in from the start. If they were going to take houses away they should have done it when they implemented the changes. They didn't and I think it would be bad business if they did it this late in the game. I get people are upset there isn't enough housing and I wholeheartedly agree. But the changes that need to be made is SE fixing crap so they can actually offer unlimited actual houses (again either in wards and/or instanced housing).

Yeah, any restrictions they could apply to players who own an obscene amount of houses would be too little too late, and it wouldn't solve the actual problems with housing. I think it would be satisfying to watch play out but...it really wouldn't accomplish much now. They should have nipped that one in the bud early on. This is on them more than it is the players gaming the system.

Agreed. The whole housing debacle is one of SE's own making. They just need to have unlimited housing available. They said last year they bought more servers just for housing but the pandemic put travel restrictions in place so they've had to put that on hold. I really hope that when they can get those in place that crazy amounts of housing becomes available. So much housing available that anyone who wants one can have one (I know I'm stretching here but I hope it comes true just the same).

6.0 will introduce Ishgardian housing. Likely this is an entire full set of wards equal to the 4 others, which is indeed several hundred houses added to each server.
