I moved entire servers when they announced Shirogane with the hopes of getting a house. People were complaining even back then of how bad it was. I guess after Shadowbringers with the huge influx of people it probably only got worse over time but people have been complaining about this issue for a long time.

That said, I'm hopeful that Island Sanctuary might be a testing ground for more expansive instanced personal housing. Similar to how we only got female Viera but seeing their popularity, they added male Viera. (Though to be honest I really believe Yoshi-P intended to add males from the get-go despite what was said since concept art of male Viera had been shown as early as Heavensward).
