Make Cottages and Small houses oriented to solo players. Currently the way Housing is setup with the requirements to craft deeds the clans can control the ownership of villages as everything is very much gated behind clan activies.

While it's fine to keep it for larger housing (villa and higher) it's important that casual players can grind to attain houses as they should be alternative.

There are currently 2 issues that I see:

1. The cost of larger houses do not make sense. Villa and larget housing must either provide more binding slots or be a b******eaper as currently I see little reason to get a Villa when for the similar price you could get 2 Houses which would result in you having 4 Guest slots (and more flexibility due to 2 homes vs 3)
2. Owning at least a cottage should be attainable without needing access to construction or being gated behind materials that require clan activity. Surely you can say anyone can buy the required mats on the market, but clans should focus on controlling clan holdings, while I feel villages (and especially smallest houses i.e. Cottages) should be more oriented to more solo players or small groups.

As bad as the old deed system was, at least more casual or solo players had a chance to get a deed.
