The whole idea of housing as a limited resource is, in my opinion, outrageous. It is as if only the first 10% of a server's accounts may get access to the Savage raids, the rest will never be able to even enter the place until they decide to allow it.

That's why even with the low prices, I refuse to participate in the housing content. But I've heard rumors that 3.4 brings apartment-like housing which is instanced and has infinite supply. That I am happy with and will participate in.
