End of the day people are quick to defend those who have too many plots by their standards and refuse to hold SE accountable for their own choices that have led to this situation and potentially appear they are going to repeat with Ishgard. .
SE shares the blame but it doesn't solely fall on them. The players who have purchased multiple houses on the same world since the 4.2 rules went in to effect absolutely share in the blame just as much as SE. They know what they are doing is wrong and yet do it anyway because they have no respect for the game, its rules or the rest of the player base. They only care about getting what they want.

SE needs to understand how not enforcing the house ownership rules damages the integrity of the game and the concept of fair play they promote. Not only are they allowing players to violate the posted rules, they're letting those players flaunt the violation in front of other players whose own game experience is being negatively impacted by it. It encourages more and more players to cheat as they see others openly getting away with it.

That's a bad precedent for any game developer to set.

Still the core issue to be addressed is the number of houses available to the player base. As good as it would be to see SE take action against the accounts of those who have purchased multiple houses since 4.2, it would be better to see a system added that ensured every player who wants a house can get one. Multiple house ownership would stop being a problem because no player would be blocked from ownership by the greed of another player.
