The ward system does fail when not every player is able to get a house. That's leaving players cut off from content access despite meeting qualifications. That doesn't happen with any other content in the game.

If your "sudden advanced technology" were ever to materialize and SE were to discuss it as a possible solution the supply problem, we could talk about it then.

Yes, it is a failed idea. Ideas frequently fail in practice. Many times only in hindsight that the drawbacks come to light. This is such an idea.
You keep bring up this dying mmorpg in which will never have a chance to get test but playerbase size of WoW and FF14.
Instanced nevertheless requires a dedicate server to host.
If currently we have the technology to handle such gigantic amount of player base, Blizzard would have done it already at Warlord of Dreanor instead of of laughable Garrison.
Remember, Blizzard is still the king at the time of that expansion release in which also has far more advance server technology than SE
