SE need to stop this!

More or less why I think there should be rent costs, if not straight up gil then a very very hefty chunks of FC credits could work as well...

That would be a great Idea.
These company points that any somewhat active FC has million's from.

These shell FC would probably start to use bots for leveling and dungeon clears, but that would add a additional risk for them.

Also, make that FCs can only buy them for these company points.
So you will have big and active FCs in the big and expensive house's, instead of a rich single player.

Spot on... 1milion per month for a large plot 750k for a medium and 250k for a small one per month counting as tax fees, as for those that own and run within the limit it is no biggie, but if having a full ward... then it is suddenly quite the millions needed in upkeep per month.

I can only agree to this suggestion.

If that person can afford to buy up the whole ward... they can afford that rent. You're only screwing over people who take their time to put together money and make buying a house an end-goal.

Just came in to say this. These dudes who gobble up entire wards usually have submarine empires running in the background just generating them loads of passive gil ever week or whatever.
The solution this whole time involves scrapping this trash ward system, but since it's Square's baby, all we can do is hope they keep adding more wards.

BIG THANKS FOR THE OUTDOOR-ONLY FURNITURE ITEM in the xmas event btw, thank you for once again sticking it to people who don't have front yards for this crap.

And it wouldn't out a single dent into the wealth those players have, plus it only hurts smaller fc. It also runs to risk of these people using bots to generate more gil


They need to actually enforce the rules and imo have fc member activity requirements.

No, just ... no.

These people already have so much money that even if you triple the suggested amount it wouldn't put a dent on their wallet. Also you probably doesn't own a house and dont know, but once fully set up (can take about a month) the house itself will make more than 1mil per "week". Your suggestion is a great way if the goal is to make sure no casual players will even be able to afford it, giving the rich players even more exclusive access.

This is like when someone think a casual policy targeting the rich will solve the problem. But reality is the rich will have enough resource to shrug it off or even get around it altogether, so it's the poorer people that the policy supposed to protect is the one getting hammed.

People hate it, it's an unfortunate punishment for the rest of us who aren't hoarding but the benefits are there...

I mean people always talk about much inflation there is, how little gold sinks there are... This could help that out, and to top it off, make it more difficult for people to hoard housing units.

Unless that person is doing something shady like buying gil or selling weird services, chances are that making the rent costs each month would take a good chunk of their time. At the least it would force them to interact with all of their accounts a bit more.

And all this will accomplish is giving RMT more business as they don't ban the buyers, that is why inflation is such an issue. I see no reason for taxes when a simple rule change would do the trick, taxes would hurt a huge amount of players to spite a minority that again could just be fixed in the future with rule changes like we have already had in regards to personal houses.
