Adressing the roots of the housing problem

It's pretty straightforward. For simplicity, we have Players A, B, C, D and E.

...

If SE does implement a series of checks for this having spent 3 or so years blatantly ignoring hackers, amongst other things, I might implode.

I was originally under the impression nobody could own more than 1 FC house on 1 character, that you could not transfer ownership of an FC with a house to someone that already owned an FC house. Are there examples of this happening already?

if this is the way it goes, This.. would work. Conceded. This would take some time though and quite a bit of coordination. But still yes, not good. .

Characters cannot and will not be able to be in charge of more than one fc at a time, his examples are showing how one player will still be able to gain ownership on multiple characters. Unless there's something behind the scenes unmentioned, the checks seem to all be done at purchase and so after purchase, ownership can be transferred to whomever is in the fc regardless on if they're part of/leader of an fc on another character.

Missed the 2 on the E. Got it now.
So you can purchase, one by one , FC houses and transfer them to one accounts alts.
on one side this would take a lot of coordination and luck, and likely result in only small house purchases after the first 2 purchases if you're very lucky.
BUT.. this is removing houses from the pool and putting them in the hands of resellers.
This isn't good and will need to be addressed. Hopefully there is something to counter this that hasn't been announced. I know you don't share optimism on this point though.
