    It's laughably sad that people defend these actions because it's a video game, but if the same concepts were applied in real life they'd be enraged and disgusted. Must truly be a different world for the simple-minded.

    ??? People in real life (who have the funds to do so) do this kind of stuff all the time what on earth are you talking about?

    If SE wanted players to have collections of houses there wouldn't be character based restrictions on house ownership. That these exist are sufficient evidence that these limited resources were not meant to be gobbled up by singular entities.

    Given how much of the game's design like the armory and retainer systems seemed focused on not needing alts I imagine this situation was a matter of simple oversight. SE's designers simply never considered the idea of folks leveling up tons of alts for the sole purpose of hoovering up limited resources. It's an aberrant play pattern done only for it's own sake. There's nobody out there going "Why yes I have 8 characters I all love and play equally, each with their own FC I value as a community. That's why they all needed houses I couldn't leave any of these beloved characters or FCs without the home to support them" It is a greedy power play and one nakedly obvious on its face as one.

    If the idea this might ever happened had even crossed the designers mind you bet there would be account-based housing restrictions in place. This is a result of an oversight and while it's not a violation of any rule coded into the game or put in place by the ToS, it does seem to be a gross violation of the spirit of the rules & limitations in place.

    OMG! Are you serious? Every single city in USA has enough empty, abandoned houses to home every single homeless person. And yet they sit, empty, because of greed. I don't see you blathering on in anger over that ACTUAL injustice to humanity? But you are so pissed at a couple buying fake houses in a fake world. mmk. I can see it's totally about the "issues" to you.
