RMT is against the TOS of Service, the competition for housing in reference is putting in your bid. You may think a lottery hardly constitutes competition, but it's purely competitive by virtue of only allowing 1 winner. Luck is a huge contingent factor in skill, the two cant easily be divorced.

With limited houses it keeps interest in the system and also provides fresh need for furniture from the player market when people vacate and a new person gets their home. If everyone had a house, it would ultimately defeat the purpose. If you thought wards were dead now, they would never be visited after this. It's a good thing that players without homes come to visit wards and admire what they haven't earned yet.
