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

And throughout ARR, entire wards were mostly vacant plots. Which kind of defeats the whole point of having a housing system to begin with. Furthermore, it wouldn't do much to deter anyone. Gil has virtually no value anymore due to the massive inflation. So the exorbitant prices wouldn't matter to many players. Not to mention how much worse botting has got. All in all, you're just rewarding the extremely rich players or those willing to RMT.

Tbf, back in ARR, no one had money. Nowadays there are multiple goldcapped players and 10mil is considered a low and/or somewhat ordinary amount of money in most datacenters and the best way to get a house is through players that are - drumroll - selling most plots at a ballpark reminiscent of ARR pricing. I don't think people are so broke that it would be impossible for them to buy a 30-50mil small given that's what people were paying for them (albeit illegally) during the entire pandemic autodemo off period.
