You're taking my words and are twisting them into things i never stated.
    Yet "every way they can" will be much harder now than before.

    They're limited to 2 houses per world per account where before they could have up to 16. Their FC has to have 3 other members to buy where before there didn't need to be anyone else. They're limited to selling to those who already own a house or who doesn't belong to any FC with a house where before anyone could be the potential buyer.Now they have to wait on a relinquish timer to end where before they could instantly buy something if they saw it available.

    Will it still be worth the effort for a much smaller long term profit? They could try increasing the price they want to charge to make up the difference but that just reduces the potential pool of buyers even more.

    Nothing will eliminate flipping completely but there's going to be less of it going forward and it's likely to be limited to the high pop worlds like Balmung. Making the relocation timer apply to relocations in addition to purchases will reduce flipping even more.

    You might want to accuse Divinemights of twisting your words but you're twisting the reality of the current situation to make it sound like more of a problem than it is.

    Yes, the new changes definately made it alot harder, and i love it.
    I never said much about the current situation. I merely replied to her statement of it being a one-time only thing, wich it is not. The only time housing sales went up recently was when the new wards went live and a few people that made "solo" FC's sold the good and bigger spots they got to privates that got a "i take what i can get" spot. I still believe a majority of players got houses for themselves, be it private, or through an FC, wich I'm glad for. Wich is why I'm saying my words are being twisted.
    Now that most houses are gone it's near impossible for flippers to do it. I merely stated that they CAN still do it! They do however, no longer have an advantage fighting other players for demolished plots. So again, my statement was taking out of proportion. Wether they actually bother to still get gil from house flipping i do not know, only that they can. But if i was a bot company, i wouldn't waste time on camping placards, i would do bot gathering or whatever those people do.
    The only wich hunt to be done is on the actual bots, wether it be house flipping, node glitching or gil selling. NOT on people that decided their only way to get a house was to make an FC with friends, because i fully support that way, even tho there are people that wouldn't agree.
