This housing "fix" is nothing more then sweeping a mess under the rug.

I understand that if a player isn't subscribed to the game that certain things shouldn't remain with the player. However with this "fix" the current problem of not enough housing will not be reduced nor will it be improved by any means. Housing is a limited resource, SE developed it that way and from the looks, they're going to continue to leave it limited. Where the issue comes from with this current ideology behind housing is that even if all plots are in use and active, that any new player and new free company are essentially being told they will not be able to utilize anything that is built into using housing, that is of course until a plot actually opens, then the cycle continues. This demolishing of abandoned plots is only going to serve very small numbers of players on each of our servers and we will be right back at square one each time the housing zones are filled. We need to face the fact that this current system is not beneficial to the all communities and push for more plots and ward or in the extreme case, a completely redone housing system moving forward, when it boils down to forcing a entire community to wait for something that current gameplay is focused on, history has shown that the players who wait typically grow frustrated and leave the game, we can look no further then Grand Theft Auto 5, ESO and Destiny as prime examples when gameplay is structured behind content that is either not done or poorly designed and see what happens to those games. Let's not have that happen here.
