I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here, the entire limited housing plot thing is a mess in the first place. It's not like people are asking for houses for free, plenty of us have the money, there just isn't enough plots to go around.

My own opinion on it: If you the player or your FC have the gil, you should be able to get a house, period. I'd love to see them add a one house per account limit and while they're at it, release the properties belonging to inactive players.
