An end to the camping timer. An end to resale. A return to...

You can still do housing infinitely better by making it instanced.

Obviously. I said that much in nearly all of my posts. But again, this suggestion is made with the world we live in in mind. ~4300 personal houses to divide fairly between 20,000+ people.

put housing farther out of the way of regular players

Housing is made 'out of reach' by its limited supply. Only one in five players can have a house. My suggestion just designates that the one person chosen has to pony up 20 weeks worth of savings, instead of 2. You could call me a 'regular player' as I don't even craft and I make about 2 million gil a week without actively farming for money.

Again, 'a perfect world with a perfect housing system' is a better idea, yes, but the past shows that SE is reluctant to supply housing enough for us all. While there is so little housing, it should be distributed to people with the biggest stake in the game, and the gil sink would help the economy.
