How about an account verifying system to acquire any houseing?

It seems to me that the housing problem is a 2 fold problem and it's both the player's and SE's fault on this... there is room for many folks to exploit the housing system. how about SE implementing a verification system of sorts? Only one account per person can have a validated account and folks with multiple cannot. have to submit some sort of ID of sorts and put an end to the housing mess both players and devs have caused. and crying "Muh privacy" doesn't cut it as folks who want there privacy are the ones who are exploiting the system... Also, GMs are not doing there job investigating when players are plot-hopping constantly...

Nope. Cause it's not a GM's job to supervise that.

Same with FC's who rolls around with 8-24 members and relocates cause they can with INFINITE MONEY

99% of the FFXIV community seems to have an issue with reading things and clicking through things without thinking. How is more reading and clicking going to fix anything?

GDPR was created for a very good reason. It's not going to be removed just because someone is sad over a fake house.

Hard disagree.

1 Data breech and digital housing creates a massive lawsuit.

SE already has tools in place to determine if the character is on the same service account as another.
And yes "Muh privacy" is a very valid argument; unless your going to give a sane reason for violating peoples right to privacy.
Honestly as far as investigating plot issues - I suspect in 1 day a GM can probably check every plot on a world and determine how many plots are owned by the same service account - so the only reason they have not done anything is because they choose not to.

That's rubbish it doesn't take much to validate an account and it stops players with multiple service accounts from exploiting the current system even more by forcing them to buy a plot with a single account unless they commit identity fraud

If you think you know so much, once again, submit your CV to SE and give them all your brilliant ideas. You'll be high fiving with YoshiP in no time.

Why would SE treat your $15 a month as being more valuable than someone else's $30+ a month?

Every game license should be treated the same when the monthly subscription price is the same on each.

It's weird that so many people promote multiple license holders as being the problem when the real problem is SE's housing design. Are you an SE employee trying to shift blame from the company to our fellow players to take some of the heat on you to fix the problem?

Screwing around with license entitlements doesn't fix a thing.

Dear OP,

lmao no.

Yes, we need account verification to ensure that the players are following rules that exist only in your head.
