How is housing and minions related at all? Everyone has an equal opportunity to earn the minion, but once housing plots are full that is the end of the line unless one happens to go inactive and free or one is sold at outrageous prices.

It would be incredibly simple to make a small amount of money for a rent fee which would provide many benefits. I feel like people with houses in this thread are just happy they got to the plot first, and could care less about anyone else. It's that bias viewpoint which is stopping a lot of people from understanding how much this would help, and how little effort on their part it'd take.

Invest a bit more thought into it besides "omg they want my money!! omg I can't go inactive and keep an empty plot with my name on it!!"
