Housing still being sold by gil traders...

[Yodada]

1 billion... it goes strongly against the tos to sell the property 20 times more than what it is worth, just report it.

Dont forget to report those filthy iron ore or npc furniture mb flippers as well they even have a higher profit rate

Now I actually have switched servers so I could attempt to get a FC house, or an individual house, and still can't get one.

Okay, I have to ask.

What made you think that transferring to the most heavily populated server in the world was a good way to get a house? No, it's not Balmung. It's Mateus. Mateus has been at the top of the population list for a while now.

Why didn't you transfer to one of the lower population NA worlds that actually has dozens of houses left in the FC wards?

Also, you need to remember the Prohibited Activity refers to purchasing a house with the intent to resale. If you bought a house, used it for several months or year then decide to sell for gil because you were transferring server, no longer wanted the house, etc. then that's okay.

Being a house in the Goblet, I doubt it was a recent purchase just for resale (and Shibi's information below seems to confirm that it was not).

You can't use discord investigations as a means to ban people. There's a strict reason why they don't do so. What's to stop someone from creating a fake discord impersonating you and posting your house for sale without your consent or knowledge. I certainly know some people petty enough to go to ridiculous extremes to get someone they don't like banned.

I know this is frustrating and unfair. People circumventing the system still. But if gms start using discord as evidence for bans that opens up another can of worms.

To some degree, yes.

On the other hand, if a FC buys a house, an ad goes immediately up, a new member joins the FC and then is made FC Master 30 days later while everyone else in the FC leaves, there's something fishy going on.

shhh, quiet. No one needs to know that furniture I have listed on the MB for 50k only costs 350 gil to make.

It is not legal to sell house plots for more than what they are worth, also submercibles/airships, not worth that much either.

To my knowledge it is not. Something is worth only what someone is willing to spend that goes for in game and IRL. That is how economy works and even mb is the same for FF if someone wants to place a value on a rare mount for 900 mil they can. Now as for someone willing to spend that much on a mount is a different story but if someone does then to them that price is worth it. It is about supply and demand something is only worth what someone believes it to be when it comes to rarity of said item.

Where does it say in tos definitively that someone cannot sell a plot for more than it is worth. I am actually curious.

Report for what? Would love to hear and read what TOS it's breaking.

Illegal? Guess FBI come knocking soon.

There’s gil traders and also RMT traders. They announce the houses publicly on third party website at prices reaching 2k USD and SE does nothing.

There's even PF listings regularly for boosting sites and RMT sites that SE does nothing about even when reported. It's against the TOS to flip housing plots but good luck getting them to enforce it.
They'd rather ignore it and let people keep on doing RMT and under the table deals.

The tos literally says they may ban us for any reason or no reason at all lol.

Yes youre right if someone wants to mess with you, thats terrible, but... if they get that and can check that theres 1000 MILLION gil going from (lets face it, most likely rmt) to an player and an house wanders shortly after.... thats like catching you with the smoking gun still in your hand.

[Sotaris]

You guys make it sound like making a lot of gil legit is impossible.
