Like that, except NOT? Can you show me where Yoshi-P stated that housing was meant to be a "reward for massive effort put into gil making"?

He's done a bunch of interviews so I'll try. Might be tough though since there are so many.

Wildstar's problems were that it was a very difficult game aimed at people who like their games to be hard.....

You can not put a failing game on the great example pedastool. It's impossible to separate it's rmt feature from the other problems so we must take the game and its popularity at face value. It did poorly. A good example of sanctioned rmt it in no way makes.
