While I *personally* don't care as much about it, I'm sure the mentioning of Thavnairian Onion I've been hearing over and over again must have been my imagination, as is the really high cost usually caused by supply/demand and time consumed to get something...But you're right, of course.

I'm aware. What I'm saying is you're both overselling how much people don't care about housing perks out there, and *maybe* overselling how many people with an FC house religiously do that.

That would be like saying "the best solution would be to not add wards in the first place, because it doesn't fix everyone's problems". Sure people would complain about 50/50 housing. Sure they would complain about instanced (and honestly I think people are underestimating logistical problems there...even beyond server resources), but would the complaints be as numerous? Or as understandable?
