    2. Good luck getting into the ward with hundreds of players showing up at the same time trying to buy it. Even better luck avoiding a system crash/DC if you manage to make it into the ward with all those players standing at that one speciific spot to click the placard.

    3. Welcome to only the super rich players getting a house because only they won't care if they lose millions of gil if they don't get the plot.

    4. See #3. As long as the entry fee is non-refundable, it's still only the super rich player who will risk losing the gil.

    5. Again, putting all houses into the hands of the very rich because they can bid more than other players.

    6. See #5.

    Your suggestions don't solve the housing problem while they do a tremendous job trying to push control of the housing market back into the hands of flippers.

    Don't want to camp a placard? Then don't do it. Check the plot occasionally to see if it's available yet then move on to do other things.

    It is your personal choice to prioritize placard camping over playing the rest of the game. It is not required by the game.

    A FC can't. It's impossible for a single FC to own multiple houses.

    That would 10 different FCs sharing the same FC tag and most likely being controlled by the same player using 2 service accounts.

    Whether it is "legal" for a single player to do that has been a subject of great debate since it contradicts the posted rules on the Lodestone but GMs tell those inquiring that they can't get involved in house ownership issues. But since there is no enforcement of the posted rule, more and more players have been taking advantage of the loophole to get additional houses while other players have to go without.

    I'd actually like to see a game do this. To flat out say, "housing is for the richest, most wealthy" and then lean into it, and let people who are willing to pay more than the person who bought it paid, can buy it out from under them. Making it a constant GIL sink where the rich person who got the house, has to keep paying into the house to keep driving the price up and up to keep others from buying it out from under them.

    Buy it for 10 million, put another million into it, now it costs 11 million to buy it away from you. Somebody else buys it up for 12 million, you lose the entire thing and you need to get 13 million together to buy it up from them before somebody else does.

    Maybe even add a decay system so that if you arn't there for long enough the value of the house falls enough for anybody to walk up and take it.

    Possibly the other person puts the 15 million down, and you have 24 hours to raise the value of the house to 16 million to prevent the purchase.

    ... it feels very EVE dosen't it?
