Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

So long as houses are limited, any system they implement to try and ration them out is going to feel like trash to the people who can't get one. Only actual, proper solution is instanced housing. Or automatically expanding wards or something I guess.

I think this is one thing to keep in mind, the system will (never) 'not be trash' whilst exclusivity is a thing. Where one person wins another will always lose. Whilst housing is a limited resource there is not really a good implementation that they can do - None of their previous iterations were any better than this, and to be frank, they were all worse.

Problem is not only a limited supply but allowing anyone to bid on one. I use larges as the best example but nearly all the large FC got eaten up by personal or shell FCs, despite bidders with legitimate FCs. Unlucky? Sure. Bullshit broken system? Absolutely, that should NOT be allowed.

They need to do what Anarchy Online did. Current ward system with whatever stupid buy system they want but also instanced housing (in AO instanced was also cheaper). Then give players the option to move their ward spot to an instanced one and vise-versa.

This gives everyone what they want and lets SE keep the illusion of active wards.
