House flipping is 100% confirmed against ToS, send vegetable naysayers to this thread

Small win tho I guess right?

Punishing people for flipping houses is not really the solution to the housing shortage overall but it is a way to tackle screwing other people over for profit on what is one of the most limited and highly sought after things in the game, something SE already set a 'maximum' price on what people should have to pay which flippers exceed in their greed.

This issue should not be be ignored just because it does not solve every other issue with housing and SE have it right on this in that they do not want people flipping houses and will punish those who do it. SE also needs to come up with solutions to the other housing related problems but this is also something they should not ignore in the meantime and thankfully they are not ignoring it. SE are also doing things like introducing apartments soon to try and help with housing shortage issue, they can tackle multiple issues or try to without having to pretend one of the issues doesn't exist just because there are other issues too. We have to wait and see what apartments end up actually being but SE did say everyone will be able to own one if can afford to do so unlike the current system with ward plots.

SE could in theory add an NPC buy back from player option in future too perhaps but it would have to be restricted to selling back to an NPC at same price or less than paid for it from the game in the first place and NPC puts back on the market at the same price cost to buy from the game. That way people wont be screwed over by other players charging them to relinquish and also having to buy the plot from the game on top of that. For now until such an option comes around (if it does) anyone flipping houses should rightly be punished for doing so and even if they introduce such a feature people who sell plots privately outside of that NPC option should also be punished in my opinion.
