28 homes... do a lot of other people have this many?
I have friends with 6 or 7. Is 28 the most?

You have friends on Balmung with 6 or 7 houses? Friends? Balmung?

Selfish ingrates...perhaps. But friends?

...They really need to limit one house per account.

One *personal* house per account, per server, with alt characters on the server having access. Free Company Masters need a specific exception to allow them to own one FC house and one *Personal* house - per account, per server..

I don't understand what you mean? There is nothing wrong with owning multiple houses is there? I mean SE lets people flip houses for 100s of millions of gil. That's a huge incentive to buy up land and resell. Fastest way to get rich in the game.

Paying more then the original plot price plus the building permit, unless they just give it too you. I can't understand why anyone would waste money like that. FC maybe, but a player...

Only way to get a house on servers like balmung. People sometimes want 50mil+ just to abandon a small.

Just because someone can do something that's not against the rules doesn't mean that they aren't selfish jerks for doing so. And buying houses and flipping them for 100s of millions of gil is actually the only way to get SE to take action against you. They'll almost always look the other way if you are just trying recoup what you spent on a plot originally, but if you jack up the price 4-5 times higher than it's worth and someone reports you for it, SE can and will step in.

What exactly constitutes an 'unusually high price' to the point it's not allowed and reportable? More than the cost of the plot itself? I'm not being cynical, I'm genuinely curious.

I believe it was left ambiguous on purpose so that the GMs could decide for themselves on a case-by-case basis. I personally report anyone I see charging double or more. There should be a bit of a cushion above the plot price for the permit, irretrievable items, etc. But again, that is my personal feelings, after that it's up to the GMs if they want to take action.

This thread right here has a video with Yoshi-P saying it isn't allowed.
