    Literal skill issue lol

    The scarcity is the only thing that makes housing appealing. If you remove the scarcity, nobody would bother. It would be dead on arrival. The furniture market would die too since everyone would have a home instead of new owners cycling through.

    The scarcity is what makes it appealing to you. You don't get to make that claim on behalf of others.

    I absolutely would bother without the scarcity because I enjoy housing.

    The furmiture market dies when no one is able to get a house because of the scarcity. If there is always an influx of new owners, there is always more gil to be made. In addition, the more owners there are the more that will want to redecorate on occasion, creating more demand for furnishings.

    When a group of players with multiple accounts buys up wards and sit on them on purpose is a problem. I do suggest 1 person per plot regardless of how many accounts they have, via an account verifying system. it would put an end to folks having multiple plots. and if the "Muh privacy" issue comes up that is an invalid excuse to exploit the housing system the way folks do...

    Speak for yourself man, people have been wanting houses for YEARS now! The demand will always been there.

    Hell if anything removing the scarcity and implementing instanced housing would allow the furniture market to grow even more since you'd have a constant flow of people buying houses every week/month. Like Jojoya said the market dies 2 months in when all the plots are taken up and everyone has either-

    A. exhausted their fund to decorating their new home
    B. Decorated there new home and now have no incentive to decorate it further.

    This leads to the furniture market dying out expect during year round holidays when a few new housing items are added to the game. (Since people enjoying buying seasonal items every year.)

    Quick ventures also help kill the market. The amount of items that have no crafters on them because they came from quick ventures break the supply/demand on the market. With auto demolition at least, there will be a constant supply of houses now every week rather than the odd few that were given up willingly.
