    Stop being picky...if someone relocates...they leave an open plot behind....start paying attention...get the first one that is available and then you can relocate later. Even if you hate the location.
    A house opened up next door to my FC on my server and I tried to give an FC member gil to purchase it but they were unable to because of the timer. While we were standing all over the placecard trying to plan our next move, some undressed miqo'te who was level 50 max, comes literally sprinting down the street, relocates instantly, and names their new house "My Ward, not yours". Not entirely certain what the message behind the name of the plot meant; but it was pretty obviously an alt with the intention to flip. That was two weeks ago and to this very day, the house has not been decorated. The same plot was later spotted on reddit for sale apart of an outrageous bundle deal requesting for 10 times the amount it was by default price just for relocation value. Yeah, it was a bit upsetting to see.

    And this proves what? All I see is a failure to go locate the plot and buy the one that was left behind.

    A cursory poke around reddit and a few links followed indicate that the person in question is a major house flipper and has been doing this for over three years. They presently "own" (via alt FCs) as many as fifteen plots in the same subdivision, which they are trying to sell as a package for "more than the current gil cap", and have stated they also have others available in different wards/districts.
