Still needs more wards

More wards they end up getting bought out in hours people will complain about the lack of housing again. Seems legit.

I sense a cycle

We need more ways to remove inactive homes. I know people with 3 homes per account somehow I’ve seen whole lines of homes owned by 1 person and many many inactive FCs just wasting the plot

Unfortunately, at least most those folks were grandfathered into the current system from back before it was actually against the rules to do that (If there's an exploit that allows that now I'm unfamiliar with it.). Square doesn't want to punish them since they weren't breaking the rules at the time, so they get to keep their multiple houses. It was a huge discussion/debate back when they made the changes. Primarily because a lot of people were frothing at the mouth over some people who bought out entire wards, and those without houses wanted the extras taken away from them.

Question how do we know the FC plot is going to waste? One persons use case may not fit the same as another. I currently own a Large plot and I have nothing in it, and have one simply because I was lucked out and checked the timer and was able to buy it. Though I have a plot now in case I ever want to use it.

It's usually super easy to tell. I once found a med house owned by an FC. There wasn't a single thing inside the house. Upon searching the FC using the Lodestone, I found it was owned by 4 members, all below lv 15 with just one class open. This FC had existed at that time for about four years. Seems like a waste to me...

I don't begrudge players with personal homes that go unused. You might indeed use it one day. But an FC house should not be in the same category as a "one day, when I'm super bored" personal. It's meant for use, because an inactive FC home that's owned by players who haven't even unlocked a chocobo and haven't made any progress on said chocobo for YEARS is not really an FC. It's a thumbtack that can't be removed used by players ( or more likely, A player) to simply "own."

FC standards as they are now harm the playerbase.
