What are they supposed to account for in this case when the only authority, Square Enix, has intentionally allowed multiple house ownership? By playing the game we agree to the rules that SE has created for it, including those for housing.

Harassing those who do what SE allows accomplishes nothing. You're more likely to get those who are being harassed to dig in their heels and take further advantage of what the game rules allow than to get them to change. No one is interested in being forced to give up what they've worked to gain. There are always going to be those who see themselves as separate from society and who will not respond to societal pressure. Trying to get them to change voluntarily is like banging your head against a brick wall.

Even if they do cooperate, it does not solve the underlying issues. The demand is for medium and large houses, and there simply are not enough to go around. Players also want the supply to be available on the worlds where they already play instead of having to move to where the supply exists. Unless SE has been overwhelmingly impressed with the cloud test and migrates existing worlds to the cloud, that's not likely to happen.

What is needed is a fundamental change to future housing development in the game. That has to come from SE.
