When will you really address the housing availability problem?

I wish i was but that's how SE runs his game these days. They tell you they can't give you any extra retainer when there's way more items to store now than what we had on release but they are totally fine to RENT you extra retainers in the cash shop and not only 1 but multiple.

So at this point it wouldn't surprise me at all that they would rent or sell housing areas for real money.

The one saving grace we have from that scenario is housing already exists for free. The equivalent would be some players getting two free retainers while everyone else must pay. I'm not entirely convinced SE would attempt that model given the immense backlash that would follow.
