That can't possibly cause issues for the game.

I also don't see where you're getting this 1 to 2 weeks figure from when players ITT are telling you in their case there have been vacant FC plots with 0 bids for weeks already. Who exactly is going to come? Are genuine new guilds even created that quickly and raising the requisite amount of gil to buy and furnish a house? I just don't believe that.
It would have an effect down the line, for sure. If all remaining FC plots were converted to privates, they would all be bought up within a week or two, genuinely. You just got involved in housing, it's fine that you aren't aware yet of how things work. All of those houses would be bought up (because there is a much larger demand for private houses, regardless of size). I remember when we first got Empy added and every single plot in every ward on Adamantoise that was available to private bids was taken. Devs can make the choice to change the ward assignment but it will cause an FC shortage once people who do make an FC want a house (and yes, they are still made daily) and ultimately can't. It's important to have availability for both sides, not sacrifice one for the other. Moving is an option you can consider since Dynamis still has hundreds of private houses available.

Also, yes, it's entirely possible to make that gil in a day. It's really not hard.

If we're going to get ward assignment swaps, it probably wouldn't be till a patch update anyway. So, sit tight.
