A second exploit for FC sales just came to my mind in the other thread. Selling your winning ticket. Goldseller/Housing collector enters 32 times and before claiming the property puts up an ad in a sellers discord to sell their winning ticket. They join the homeless FC, get their gil, are given buy rights, and buy the FC a property with their winning ticket.

Unless SE is totally dumb, this will not work. They already announced that joining a new FC will place you into a new member period where you can't be granted land acquisition permissions. If you don't have the permission, then you won't be able to make the actual purchase of the plot.

I don't see SE making the new member period shorter than the land acquisition period after a drawing.

It should be ONE per account…period. Doesn’t matter if you have 1 player or 7 alts. This wouldn’t be fair at all if it was per Alt on an account. <Let’s get 10 accounts with each of us having 8 alts and go bid on it 80 times compared to my once>. Depending on how fair SE makes this, I might have to drop FF. Nothing worst than a game that isn’t fair to everyone.

As much as I agree, I don't think SE's programming for FCs is sophisticated enough for this. Alts within a FC get treated like unique members.

I'm sure SE is trying to make it as fair as they can under the limitations of the current system (why someone who already "has as buyer" a FC house cannot enter for another house for another FC on the same world) but they're not going to be able to cover all the possible exploits for the ward system.
