It's the players who have abused the system since the 4.2 rules went into effect that need to have their FC houses taken away.
What about the 70% of houses owned as personals, what does that tell you?

Even if all the 'dummy' FC houses were reclaimed- that 28.07% includes legit FC houses.

There are not enough houses for every individual player.

Owning multiple FCs is not against the rules. In this thread, a multi FC owner reported themselves to the GM for owning multiple houses.

So yeah, dummy FC houses are a convenient scapegoat rather than tackling the issue that the persistent ward system does not have enough houses for every individual player.

Secondly, it's is shortsighted, when it comes to coping with increased player population.
