"demand is far outstripping supply"

Welcome to SE's endless problem to their housing system. Orz.

When the system was announced, basically 10 years ago, I said this would be an endless thorn and now I get to grab my walking cane and go find the decayed salty horse in the back and beat it while I shake my fist angrily at the sky.

It's also much worse, imo, than face value issues too. For example right now the large fight is being made for FC. This shows you the demand for specific plots, and specific sizes, is very high (over mediums, smalls or not so great locations, or just location themes as some areas are more popular than others). So not only is there just a problem, but there are problems within those problems. So for the worlds that run out of all houses, that's awful. But for the places that still have them in like Goblet smalls, that does NOT mean the system is delivering satisfaction as there is very very likely people who would leap on a 'large shirogane' for example.

I understand the monumental potential investments that might be needed to fix the system, as well as the unique and unexpected circumstances of taking a dying game (1.0) and turning it into an incredible hit, but at the same time I cannot help but say I greatly detest the ward system and wish in the next SE MMO that they immediately toss that idea into the bin to not be used again. At least, not exclusively (might come up with interesting hybrid options so everyone can have the best of the worlds they're interested in- but absolutely not just 'wards' again.. please god lol.).

More on point though, I like infographics- it was nice of you to put the effort into collecting and compiling it .
