Fake FCs' Housing Abuse

[Reinha]

I understand that a single rich player has the potential to overcome this fairly easily.

The question would be if it's worth it to them. Why are they buying the additional houses in the first place?

If they are just looking for more houses to own and decorate, then nothing is going to stop them. They will always find a way around it.

If the goal is additional workshop access for gil farming, though, does it become worth it if almost all the gil you're making off the workshop has to be put back into generating the FC credits needed to pay the rent? Militia chokers are nice for getting to level 6 quickly. They're one heck of a pain in the neck for generating company credits in large amounts.

Now look at a rent charge of 250k credits from the perspective of someone who is getting multiple FC houses to workshop farm. The FC master characters aren't active characters generating company credits. There are no other active members generating company credits. The credits they're currently using to run their subs come mainly from items purchased for Expert Deliveries. With the rent, they'd have to buy that much more. That starts taking a huge chunk out of the profits they're making from the workshops.

All of this just to make submarine farming harder? Lmao. You wrote an entire novel describing how you want all FCs including endgame-focused groups to adopt your playstyle of leveling alts and doing other useless low level content to get credits or else they lose their house, instead taking 2 seconds to come up with something simpler like increasing the credit cost of Ceruleum Tanks which would only affect submarine missions.

It's especially odd to see you coming up with these ideas for taking people's houses away and calling it problematic that I made a free company with my husband and bought a house no one else bid on in a ward that is still dead, when you're also considering multi-owning yourself. Seems hypocritical.

If those who say they want a house refuse to claim one from what's available, then there's no point in arguing against the players who own multiple houses because they're purchasing what no one else would.

I get sorely tempted to start up new FCs on Marilith to get a few more houses.

If others don't show up to start claiming what's available, there's really no reason not to buy multiple houses. Someone needs to make those mostly empty wards look inhabited.
