Wow, this went all over the place fast.

Going back to the orginal topic title and post:

Can we have an official response on the RMT sub FC farms?

It's been established, despite previously locking players to one personal plot per character, that entire wards are still owned by single players for the sole purpose of abusing submarines. This obviously has large RMT ramifications due to the amount of gil generated by this. Not to mention leaving wards feeling barren.

Noone deserves griefing or harassment so I feel it's in everyone's best interest if SE directly confronts this abuse and makes clear their intention with allowing a single individual to essentially set up crypto-like farms that suck the life out of a neighborhood and waste communal resources.

SE's official response is the same for the sub farms as any other forms of RMT: It is against the Terms of Service. Did you really have to make this post to learn that?

Owning more than one house is neither griefing nor harassment. It is allowed by SE and there are no requirements that house owners use their houses in any particular way.

Do many of us feel that this is something SE should not allow considering the difficulty many players have getting a house? Sure. But it should be clear by now that SE feels otherwise. Instead of adding more restrictions to ownership of multiple houses, they've decided to gradually throw more wards at the problem to try to make houses available to those without one.

If you want to accuse any particular multi-house owners of RMT, collect your evidence and submit it to the Special Task Force for investigation. Creating a thread like this accomplishes nothing useful as the 120+ responses before this one should demonstrate.

I understand the frustration that many have in trying to get a house. This is the wrong way to approach the problem.
