I think that's fantastic. It's just worth noting that as easy as it is for you to do that, it's just as easy for someone else to abuse it. That's what this thread is about. It's nothing to do with players like you or even any individual player period.

This thread is simply asking for an official stance by SE regarding the ghost towning of wards by crypto-like sub farms. Again no doubt most folks are benign in hoarding a communal resource but it would be very silly to assume that not a single one abuses it for RMT, even if it's just in exchange for a time card or Amazon wishlist.

It's also worth noting that the idea that everyone only gets one bid is patently false. FCs have the unique ability to place multiple bids on plots, only limited by their gil and characters. To try to imply a user with multiple gil cap worth is on a level playing field with the average player is misleading at best.
