Why can’t there be housing plots in the open world area, near the Aetherytes? There are like 50+ Aetherytes now right, and maybe just 5-10 Smalls near each Aetheryte will provide like 500 new small plots, and will also solve another problem which is emptiness of the open world. This way we will build a lively community in each zone and players have a variety of locations to live.

Any downside to this? I think it would look beautiful. Of course maybe limit the exteriors to the theme of the zone so we dont get candyland houses in like Azim Steppe.
