If sarcasm sorry.
Enforcing their desired design wouldn't lead to a housing Golden Age. It's not realistic because of server hardware demands and what's currently a still growing player base. The Golden Age would only happen if the population of players dropped well below the number of available plots.

They would need to switch to a fully instanced system for a Golden Age to happen. Other MMORPGs using instanced housing are having no problems meeting player demand to the point that they allow individual characters (not just accounts) to own multiple housing properties.

I still don't understand SE's stubbornness on this issue. Wards add no value to housing because they're empty the majority of the time. The bulk of the game happens outside the wards so there's little reason for players to be in the wards outside of RP events. Those can take place in a good instanced housing system just as easily, and be advertised just as easily in PF as the current RP venues are.
