Report All the people Selling AND Buying houses in PF

[Fenririon]

The sad thing is that even with stuff that is clearly stated being against ToS, like botting for example, the GM's barely do anything to punish such behaviour. I see same characters with obvious bot behaviour gather low level stuff at exact same locations almost every day (Odin server, just outside Ul'dah) and they have been doing this for months. And remember when spiritbonding was a thing? Remember those "turret" bots who stood at certain locations, rotating to scan for enemies? Those stood around for days.. Even the super obvious naked teleporter bots aren't being dealt with quick enough.

With GM's letting all that slide why are "we" expecting any clear response to house selling? Again I see same people trying to flip houses in PF since patch day without any consequences. Perhaps I am daft like Rhitahtyn sas Arvina and should look at these 100% proof screenshots a little closer?

And if we don't raise a fuss about it, I don't think we'll ever get one.

That's what all this is about, all the forum threads, all the reporting.
We need to show that it's enough of an issue that they need to make that statement.

Yeah, like when I actually made change in a game from reporting people and writing to them about the issue.

So, I had an idea.
So say Enix implements a House auction/reclamation thing. You sell your house back for say 80% of the plot's worth, and then they auction it off, where you can get about maybe 25? 30% of the profit from the auction (note: would still use existing prices for buying the house) and then someone can get that house you just have nothing to do with :O Everyone wins (except the jerks who flip houses for 20m)

Yoshi - P finally did make a statement in the E3 live letter saying that house flipping is a reportable offense. Though I suspect people will still claim that since it's not written specifically in the ToS that it doesn't matter and is not to be considered one regardless.

It will never be written word for word in the ToS. That doesn't make it right, and it should be reported. Good to know he answered that question. I was expecting it to be skipped over. :P

Well, if Yoshi has said something, that's about as official as you can get...

I didn't watch the live letter myself, actually I don't think I've watched any of them.

[Asheloux]

YoshiP just stated it's against ToS and needs to be reported on both ends...
Soooo yeah.
Report people.

Remember he said for "exorbitant" amounts. Reasonable prices are ok. Are people just going to selective hear him.

Well anything like above 10m for a small would be "exorbitant" compared to the actual game price :T
