Return to that system now and it would be far worse.

In the end, supply is the problem. SE can keep juggling purchase changes all they want but it won't fix anything. Resellers will always find a way to exploit the system for profit as long as anything comes in a limited quantity. Even if SE was able to expand wards on demand as each world needed more housing, the limited number of more desirable plots would keep the resellers very happy.
Gil wasn't the issue back then, it was people buying up houses and trying to sell them at ridiculous prices, that was the era when u had peeps buy up whole huge sections and try to sell em, plus everyone back then was gunning for the large or medium houses, but not everyone was like that, I know of several people who sold for a good price, but even then the worst still is way better then what we have today.

One house per account was good but people found ways around it like the stuff with selling FCs, now this all was back when shirogane houses came out.

Your always gonna have problems but would would rather have to negotiate a deal with someone or click placards for insane amount of hours and hope u get lucky, I've seen way more horror stories today then I have with the peeps raising the prices to high.

Plus back then was better cause those people who left the game and when their house came up for sale someone could buy it instantly instead of having to wait like now and then hope I get lucky, I still believe their is people who would rather negotiate then deal with hoping they get to be lucky.

The worst of Yesterday still is better then the best of today, that tells u how bad it is today.
