Most I've been able to see akin to that is SE originally planning for Housing to be an FC only thing and then backpeddling.

What's more likely is that SE do want to fix this. Having threads upon threads of complaints, coupled with loud social media cries, is definitely not somebody a PR manager wants to be seeing. The problem however is probably their horribly outdated code which we know causes all sorts of problems. But they've said this last wave was just a put-on whilst they move housing over to dedicated servers, which does more than imply they're going to be taking measures to help rectify this. I mean LotRO has an almost identical housing system to FFXIV in every way and even at it's peak never really struggled with opening up new wards (and continues to do so).

Actually now that I think about how similar LotRO's housing is I'm getting an awkward feeling we might see Premium Wards for real-world £££ some time in the future.
