First off, I want to know what RP community you had heard about, because it seems like a mythical unicorn to me. RP communities are almost always laced with unneeded drama, immaturity, entitlement, and people mistaking IC occurrences (romance, anger, etc) as an OOC fact.

But I digress.

I do not think the blame lie on me, but instead on SE, who should make sure that there is enough housing for everyone. If the system had not been ready to support all their players, it should not have been released. The louder and more vocal people get on the issue, the more wards will be opened hopefully and more priority will be put into housing. Even if you do disable people from buying alternate housing, there will still be thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who are left without houses but want one. It is such a small droplet in the pond that in the end it will not be that impactful.

IF SE wants to stop house flipping, they need to really crack down on it, make an official statement, maybe even add it to the placards when you go to buy it. Get the GMs unified, not make it OK in some regions/servers but not elsewhere.

There is some positive in house flipping though, TBH, those are houses that are at least accessible in some way to people that did not make it on the initial server-opening rush. Without people selling houses, those houses would just be locked away.

If people weren't flipping houses then they would have been available for purchase. Someone who would actually USE it would have been able to buy it. There IS no positive lol.

They would have been bought by people who would have only been available to get on at server opening. People at work/school/sleep/etc during that time would just be out of luck then.

Ok? Thats fine. I don't have a house and thats preferable to people selling them at 3x the cost just to relinquish the plot.

Its first come first serve. I mean, theres tons of stuff you can't get IRL becuase of work/school/sleep. Saying scalping, cuz thats what this is, is beneficial is completely nuts.

I would rather have at least some way to get something rather than absolutely no way to get something. Something far to reach is better than something completely out of reach

Selling houses from launch isn't flipping. Flipping is buying with the intent to quickly sell it for profit. There is absolutely no benefit to flipping other than to the person doing it.

SE just really needs to have an official notice in-game that says reselling houses is illegal. The rules are unclear and some people get away with flipping or selling, while others do not. Personally, I have had a warning placed on my account literally 10 minutes after posting on Party Finder, while others have been on PF for a couple hours a day or more and numerous times a week.

I could be wrong here but I am positive that reselling housing plots for large profits will be a much bigger issue than honest alts wanting to buy another plot for their own use. So for starters, there needs to be some type of notification implemented when purchasing a plot that indicates the illegality of flipping.
