They can't own the whole thing now. Wonder why/how they didn't get enough to completely own the whole ward before the ward they're in got changed to personals.. And yes this crap is disgusting and shouldn't been allowed for awhile now.

I don't think rent is a real option as the game lives on "You can take a break" and you only need to log in every 45 days to save your house. If you take a month break you may end up not having enough gil to pay rent in the 14-15 days of your return. Just restrict how many houses one can have per world/data center. I can see allowing a personal and an FC house but you shouldn't have much more need then that. Also with this change make housing account wide for people that do have a ton of alts on the same server and open up airship/submarine missions and gardening elsewhere as there would then be no reason to own a whole ward of shell FC's that could be argued aside from the players own ego.
lol, those 6 new wards coming are gonna be fun if people pull stuff like this :P
LOL clamouring for taxes in a game ffs so ridiculous
People hate it, it's an unfortunate punishment for the rest of us who aren't hoarding but the benefits are there...
I mean people always talk about much inflation there is, how little gold sinks there are... This could help that out, and to top it off, make it more difficult for people to hoard housing units.
Unless that person is doing something shady like buying gil or selling weird services, chances are that making the rent costs each month would take a good chunk of their time. At the least it would force them to interact with all of their accounts a bit more.
And all this will accomplish is giving RMT more business as they don't ban the buyers, that is why inflation is such an issue. I see no reason for taxes when a simple rule change would do the trick, taxes would hurt a huge amount of players to spite a minority that again could just be fixed in the future with rule changes like we have already had in regards to personal houses.
