We need another Housing purge

[Awha]

My god. How can people be so obtused?
There is clearly a problem if a person or a group have like 8 houses while some people cant buy cause there arent available plots.
And no, the semantics of the rules doesnt matter, they find always a way to circumvet them.
Thats only selfishness. If you have more than one house you are being selfish, doesnt matter how much effort you need to maintain it.
The people who so vehemently defend the current situation probably have more than one house. Cause this is ridiculous and has no justification whatsoever.

What can they do though regarding all the players that have multiple plots, they already grandfathered players from one system so it stands to reason they will do so again. It is a noble fight, but I do think players effort would be best spent getting SE to change the entire system behind asking them to keep doing band-aid fixes.

If I understand what you're talking about, it's not an exploit. In the context of a video game, an exploit is something that is not functioning properly due to a problem with the code causing performance that deviates from the developer's expectations and which allows players to take advantage of it for their own personal gain. In contrast, a "creative use of game mechanics" refers to when players find a use that is outside the scope of the developer's intentions for a correctly functioning game element that allows them to take advantage of it. SE deliberately implemented the timer and also deliberately didn't apply it to FCs. Likewise, they did not make any attempt to actually prevent players from having multiple FCs on a single realm, other than likely assuming it'd be too prohibitively laborious to be a real problem. SE can decide the action is unacceptable in any case, but let's try to avoid carelessly applying inaccurate labels just because they sound nastier.

I am all for them changing the policy to deal with the loophole, but yeah it is a stretch to call it an exploit, but I do think the main reason people lump them together is based around the "advantage" it carries.
