Pickings Are Slim, But This Really Isn't Okay, Is It?

[Stormpeaks]

From what I can see, the placard is still accessible from the right side of the stairs no?

But that aside, it's an absolute trash move to do this, not wanting people to bid on a plot is okay, but to glitch things in such a manner is just unacceptable, I am all in favor in glitching things a tiny little bit such as better placement in the garden to make it closer to wall etc, but to do this is just trash.

Also nothing will happen to that person, at most they'll get a warning, I remember a lot of people getting the response "It's their plots so they can do whatever with it" as a TLDR of it in the past. Toxicity in housing is a big thing and some people really take it to the next level, just like this person here.

It's pretty rare that I say this, but this person deserves some punishment, preferably a temp ban, both for being an ass and for using third party tools so blatantly to glitch everything through, and this comes from someone who is not agaisnt third party tools, I really dont care if other people use it, it's their computer and it aint my problem, but to make it THIS obvious and blatant is just a no-no.

Also please if you are on that world, bid on the plot to block them from getting it, else they'll get what they wanted which I am sure is to get it. Even if you dont want it, just bid, you'll get the money back.

Oh yeah, I'd already clarified that you can reach the placard, so actually physically stopping bids won't work, but sinking that much gil only to have a neighbor behave like this is dissuading enough. Even if you just intend to keep that person from winning, you will lose 8 and half million gil by not accepting it if you win.

Either price is a stiff penalty just to teach someone a lesson when SE should be doing it- especially when it goes against their own rules.. instead of the player/community trying to stop it.

I agree with you though, Stormpeaks.. on so many points of your post.

So far that plot has about 30 bids so what they did failed miserably, if anything thanks to this post (and this also got posted on reddit) the place is like a tourist attraction and there's about 10 or so people here including me on my NA char chilling here.

I will say, if this doesnt get any sort of warning or ban, this game is very hopeless, we are way past the whole "People do what they want with their plot", it literally invades completely on the medium behind it.

So a couple in my FC discovered what we are now calling the Leap of Faith prototype on Saturday just checking out plots to be bid on for the upcoming lottery....and well, nothing but hilarity has ensued since. I'm actually surprised it has as many bids on it that it does! We've been taking bets on what the story is behind the Mountain of S** all day!and yes my FC reported it too, but have received nothing but their automatic nice way of saying we're not doing crap about it aka "we'll look into it but a reply won't be forthcoming"eyeroll*

I would caution gathering on the originating offenders plot or house.

The last thing anybody wants is to see the community punished instead of the offender. Know what I mean?

Agreed but there are so many people there it's insane. It's on Reddit too about it. It's going to be a crazy week for sure.

My daughter just showed me the Reddit post. Good on the community for standing up over this. I will say my daughter is getting some harassing Discord messages, and her being at that plot earlier is likely why, so the offender knows the community is not happy about this.

Please, please don't get in trouble though, okay?

Is she ? I was there for a while and people were pretty much just having fun, it basically became a tourist attraction with people from every world and even other datacenters and some low levels which I assume are from other regions coming over to see it, hopefully that situation with your daughter gets fixed one way or another though, sorry to hear that !

Thank you, and yeah, she said she has never received rude/ hateful DM's on Discord, but she did tonight. She thinks it's very likely related.

She did say people hanging out there have been great, so I think it might well be the FC owner or one of their friends.

Sorry to hear that about your daughter. I'm betting it's one of the members or a friend as well since someone said a few minutes ago one of the people of that FC are around now.
