Instanced housing done right isn't a band-aid. It is a solution. It's why so many other MMORPGs use it over a ward style system.

Instanced servers only have to be flexible enough to handle the players online at a given moment since the assets are only loaded when entered. Ward servers have to handle those both online and offline since part of the assets are always loaded even if a player is offline.

The question becomes if SE would create a good instanced system or if they would continue to make mistakes when it comes to judging why players want housing and how they use it.

As for it being an example that it's okay to bend the spirit of the rules, you'd be better off talking about 3rd party mods. That's where the example is really being set. That gets far more public discussion than the rare sub farms.
