Nerf gil profit from submarine

[Jojoya]

My own server has ~134 small plots available. Both personal/FC. Many of which have not had a single bid in months. Coeurl is considered a highly populated server. Even had the Congested label on it, until relatively recently.

This made me curious so I just looked for myself. I didn't come up with 134 smalls but it was over 100 and mostly in the mixed and personal wards. The Empyreum FC wards had a fair number of smalls but there were almost no smalls in the FC wards of the other districts.

Even more interesting were the dozen mediums and 2 larges I saw. Not going to come close to meeting the demand for the larger plots but more than I was expecting.

You forgot the part about the sublords are also in it for the resale, of course this is all about the large and mediums.
Removing fight club would absolutely free up future larges and mediums because many of those are tied to the longcon sub resale scheme. There is absolutely no reason for them to stick to smalls when resale value is astronomical, they are incentivized to double dip. The larger the sublord entity becomes the more bids they get to bid, win and upgrade into a large to then resell for a gil cap.

Here you are once again going off the deep end with your sub farm/resale conspiracy theories.

The "sublords" aren't reselling their houses. If they were into resale, they wouldn't bother setting up workshops. It takes longer to get a workshop generating a decent profit than it would take to sell the house. Unlocking sectors takes time. Ranking up the subs high enough to get the necessary stats to make routes like Fight Club worthwhile takes time.

It's time that doesn't exist if the point is to resell the house. Resellers don't want to be sitting on a house for 6-7 months.

If you're genuinely convinced you're correct, stop with the "feelycraft" and collect the data from at least your own world if not all of NA and share it with us. Just how many medium and large FC houses owned by "sublords" are there? What criteria did you use to determine that it was a "sublord" who owned the plot? If you go back 3 months later, has the name of the FC owner changed on those houses?
