Housing needs to be account based

[Stormpeaks]

I think you would find that there is a group of people that enjoy the fact that they have collected a large number of houses that are limited, and making housing instanced would take that away from them in their mind, as strange it may seem. I'm willing to bet there would be people that would actually quit the game over losing the perceived prestige of housing.

Overall though, I agree, making housing instanced, let the people with their real estate empires keep their empire, but make wards essentially unending, with new ones being created as they get filled up.

That said, I'm convinced that while SE could do it, they simply don't want to. Yoshi-P seems to still be holding on to an idea of wards being communities, and the c-suite types love the guaranteed income housing creates.

That is the solution though that would make instanced housing not needed, once a ward fills up (all the smalls only), another opens, rinse and repeat, on the most populated worlds, that's what the solution is, not instanced.

Point is, you could still have your kind of fun, with your preferred ward housing, and others could enjoy what you feel would be an inferior housing system alongside that. I don’t see how it’s not a win-win. You still get to have one (or some? I’ve lost track at this point lol) of the few “prestigious” plots, while everyone who doesn’t care about any of that gets a space to decorate. I’ll never understand the opposition to having instanced as an option for those who would never want to use it, when having it added wouldn’t negatively impact you in any way.

Same response that I just posted to Bob, the solution is to add more wards when needed based on usage, not instanced housing, Ward housing is fine, it just needs more wards.
