Yes or No, and Explain, Please.

Ah, so you are just arguing semantics?
I suspect just about everyone involved knows exactly what is meant by 'Selling a plot/house'

Yes, because if you sent a GM a chat log and demand punishment of someone who fraud you
they will care about semantics, too.

Or, the other way round:

I don't think you'll be banned for any of those transactions, in case someone sends in a copy of the chat log:

'If you pay me x Mio. Gil I will throw away all my gear / relinquish my plot / guide you trough a dungeon / be your personal servant / run in circles for 2 hours / camp at the housing area and inform you when a plot gets free.'
- 'Deal. Here's your money.'

Since afair GMs always look on (chat) logs to decide if someone is guilty of fraud/scam I'd say semantics are important.


But I have never seen a chat log or justification by GM for a ban because of plot 'selling', so maybe I'm wrong with my upper estimation.
