Remove camping by reducing the ability to spam/flood the server, is the best start, but keep the timers, so it is next to impossible to get into real estate business, as it is, is technically at some levels even in conflict with the terms of use.
What is so wrong about a real estate business? Most players would WELCOME solid prices and guarantees if land deeds were tradable on the market board, it would demonstrate the actual value of the houses. Even the guy who owns an entire ward can't prevent houses from having a stable value on a free/black market and the main reason prices got so high originally was because SE didn't refund any of the plot purchase gil, which urged players selling and relinquishing to charge increasingly inflated prices as time went on, particularly with Large and Medium houses. ALL of these issues stem from free market being ideal but not always plausible in a small world with limited resources, if only SE had designed housing less around dick measuring and more around the equality they wanted then we would have instanced housing less data usage and more accessibility. Instead they waited until housing was in such high demand they couldn't give the instanced apartments more than a small house, much less the space and outdoor freedom to garden because it would destroy the value of the houses that people already paid for.
