I already knew this would be a heavily contested take going in, so if you just disagree on this point it's totally fine.
But relocating doesn't consume any more housing plots. In order to relocate, you have to relinquish your old plot, and the number of free plots stays the same.

Why should a current house owner, not have the same opportunities as a non-house owner, to bid for a house in a NEW DISTRICT. This is new content, likely more desirable than older districts. How is it fair to be excluded because you happened to be an early adopter?

This would be like, "only accounts created after 2020 are allowed to play Savage in week one, to give newer players a chance at being world first."

All this would do, is lock players into the houses they first obtained. Very few players would realistically be able to relocate to a plot they wanted more, unless they got very lucky in a later cycle. And so if you happened to win a small in Goblet, well you're stuck there, because only newer players get access to premium Sharlayan and Thavnair housing.
