It's just flat out not tolerated. It's gil only or trading houses (i.e. people swap servers and trade their houses that way) and contracts are exchanged between the two in game so if anything goes south it's reportable to the GMs and the person is subsequently also banned and blacklisted for being a scammer. Just clarifying that before the assumption continues to be made that house-selling/multi-owning = RMT only.

I'm sure that over the years some people have been smacked with a ban for it, especially if they're advertising in game, however it's the same as people who fill up NG with archer bots, they're like the Hydra. You cut off one head (ban one person) and two more crop up in its place.

Or the person just finds their way around the ban since I highly doubt they're banning people by MAC IP.
I certainly hope this is investigated and banned O.o
