Neither of them automatically lock you out of housing as a whole. Work is also a normal detriment to any pvp when compared to those that have all the time in the world, your point?

There's plenty of opportunity to get houses outside of ward launches. As a matter of fact most people I know have done it this way. There are a few tricks of the trade that help you achieve your goal with less effort. People keep complaining about it but we rarely hear anything more than "I tried and didn't manage". That says very little, especially when you get first hand experience/accounts of getting not one but multiple houses and upgrades in the span of 2-3 months on high pop servers. Why is it always the same players that manage to get the houses? Why's there such a dichotomy in player experience? I suspect it's for the same reason I'll never get the diadem titles, I don't spend enough time at it to compete with other players.
