FCs buying multiple plots

[SillyCrow]

I get what you're saying, but there have been players that have done that since like December 2013 when housing has released. That's part of the problem when you look at this entire housing mess as you have players (largely through SE's inaction) that can make a strong argument that it was fine for 8 years... why is it not fine now?

The other real problem with this is say you've got an FC of four (as that's the number of signatures needed to create the FC), and going with the restrictions at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ , how do you go about deleting the house due to membership and how much grace period do you give an FC before they lose their house?

Usually that's done with "grandfather" clauses. People who already own housing would not apply to the new rules. However relocating or losing the plot should void that clause.

That's just it, though, a check for membership size would have to be ran fairly frequently and there's no fair way to omit certain groups of players, which would indicate a policy change moving forward. Unless you can explain how this would work, I don't really see grandfathering in working here (unlike people that have a personal house per alt and many alts on the same server).

So where does the line get drawn for acceptable minimum FC membership size required for housing ownership? How does that work?
