Can I report people for buying multiple houses?

I feel it's fair to point out that it also doesn't mean it's against the rules either.

Yet we know in this case that it is against the rules.

How do we know? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/

It clearly states the limit on houses per world per service account.

On this particular point, I think SE needs to get their priorities straight. They are worried about offending the four people in the datacenter who are buying all properties in a single neighborhood and just sitting on them, at the expense of the thousands other players.

I say those grandfathered players can suck an egg. If SE tomorrow came out with an announcement saying: "All FC's that are found to be holding more than one property have one month to reduce their holdings down to one FC property. Afterward, there will be systematic closings of ownership as properties at random will re-enter the market."

Very few people would be angry at this announcement. Those that are, can put on their big boy/girl shorts and deal with it. If SE wants to reimburse these grandfathered player's Gil per house value, that's MORE than fair. It's more than they should expect though. I honestly don't think these people deserve reimbursement, as they KNOW the intention Devs have for the housing system, and they've made a conscious choice to find work-arounds/exploits to go against that intention.

Housing availability is woefully sparse and SE for years has essentially buried their heads in the sand when asked about people who horde this limited resource.

I don't agree that those who purchased prior to the rules changes in 4.2 should have action taken against them since SE specifically said they'd be allowed to keep the additional houses. They did nothing wrong at the time they made those purchases.

It's the players who have obtained the additional houses since 4.2's release in clear violation of what's been published by SE that should be penalized.
