This is what i call BULLCRAP

It's typically RMT, via Discord. I've had a house since it was released, so I shouldn't give a damn but I do. Ward housing has failed, imo SE should expand on IS and make the cabin there fully customizable. I'm not sure if it's possibly but if so it would go a long way to easing housing demand.

Considering when IS launched people were complaining about being unable to load into their houses, the IS are instances on the housing server.. so SE could do instance houses but have chosen not to do so.. probably to keep that sub-money from demo timer when it resumes

I fully expected this to happen when they released Empyreum. So about two weeks before housing dropped, we were informed that bidding FC members had to be 30 days old with the FC. So while that meant that the first lottery was mostly legit FCs, every lottery after that would be littered with shell FCs that did the grinding necessary to level multiple shell FCs to the proper rank to buy up other houses in the wards. This was all made possible by the fact that SE set the bar too low for FCs to buy coupled with SE allowed the first 18 wards to be FC only when these wards were released.

The first round of housing was broken due to the winner is 0 bug. Those that made the shell FCs had plenty of time to jump into the first actual round of houses

Many who are making solo FC's are doing nothing more than buying FC housing as a personal they're not buying up entire wards. This is certainly the fault of SE for creating the incentive for people to do so with their ridiculous FC/Private split on the new housing wards. They do give up their right to join a legitimate FC however so it's not necessarily a win/win situation.

In addition there are those of us who create small personal FC's to be able to share a house with our alts (and in my case a few select friends) given the inane decision to not allow alts the right to use a mains house.
