Apparently a plot in Excal was sold on Reddit for over 900 million gil

This just goes to show adding just twelve wards didn't make the housing problem better. This is one of the many issues now.

If the OP of that Reddit thread deletes it, I've got plenty of screen caps.

How many people have 1.1b gil??

I really wonder how long it'll be before S-E finally gets off their hands about this...

I can't say what's worse. This or the one guy in PF who offered 70€ via PayPal for a house.

Edit: probably this. Looking at what the RMTs are promoting gil for, 1.1B equal roundabout 500€. And I highly doubt that those 1.1B are "handmade". Wth.

One of the worst parts of Shirogane was that some players bought plots with the sole intention of making a huge profit.

If I could pay $50 or $70 on mogstation for a house plot I would do that so fast.

Whoever bought a house for over 900mil gil, I'm sorry, but that's a stupid move.

Who knows, maybe it could push SE to actually do something about this.

I feel like the good move by SE would be to get the GMs to check everyone who bought in shirogane and the obvious RMT gold buyers should get their houses placed back on the market and buyers banned. It's one thing when you buy gil for your glams and stuff, and another entirely if it deprives other players from a limited ressource. There are a lot of users sure but it's worth the time and effort for the community. I was half expecting this from the get go, still hoping SE delivers.
