Stop asking for more wards

[Khanscott]

If we can't ask for more wards, can we please ask S-E to add more welfare cubicles to the wards we already have?

lol! They should make them expandable and add a balcony or garden. Gardening would be nice so you don't have to fight with your FC over who is using the plot. SWTOR had a nice expandable apartment model.

How about sub-subdivision?
Or sub-sub-subdivision?
Or even sub-sub-sub-subdivision?

[Nihility]

the thing is... more wards/divisions is literally the only thing we will ever get so no point asking for anything else

Like i said in other topics, instanced house doesn't help anything, the problem is saving the data and u still need to save with instanced houses

That is the least of their problems.

Owning a house really should be more of a commitment then just a one-time fee and entering it once a month.

By that, I mean there should be a rent of some sorts so people actually have to work a little to keep the house if they aren't going to bother adding more wards.

[MistakeNot]

Creating more wards for more houses only creates less problems, but does NOT effectively solve the issue.

Actually it does solve the issue effectively.
Oh, just adding one or two extra wards will not help much, but if they added ten times as many wards as we have today (120 wards instead of 12) it would go a very long way of making sure that everyone would be able to get a house - and hopefully deprive the house sellers of a market.


As for the idea of instanced housing I am not sure it will help much - each ward is already an instance, and if they cannot add extra wards I do not see why it would be any easier to add lots of small instances for each house.
Oh, and if instanced housing is created then everybody need to be able to visit the house instance, not just friends. Else a great many roleplayers will be most unhappy since they will no longer be able to host events in their houses.

[Sayoh]

Just add more and split the wards. Instead of a mixed bag, have only FC wards and only personal home wards.

I don't want instanced housing. Some of the best social stuff in the game has been hanging out in Mists and meeting my neighbors when we're all hanging out in our yards and the market boards nearby. At one point before HW dropped I built a train in our yard, and it wasn't unusual to warp to the house to see random people hanging out on it. Instanced housing would remove this sort of interaction. NO ONE is going randomly into your instanced housing #239589 to see shit, definitely not with any regularity, where you might develop neighborly attachments.

Instanced housing won't solve anything. It will only create more problems. Why do you think no one likes apartments? Because they are instanced and non-social. The big draw for most people, myself included, is the neighborhood atmosphere of the housing wards. They need to figure out some other solution other than instancing. I think it's a bad idea.
