House Timer RNG

[Claviusnex]

There is no point, like I said, this trick is one time only under the new regulation.
Those who bought the plot unlikely will try to resell it to another player.
This is also a first world problem that only happens on monster size server like Balmung.
There are people who quit the game and banned because of their own mistake.
THe plots will free up eventually.

No it isn't a one time trick. As soon as the player transfers ownership of the FC house and leaves the FC they can buy another FC house. That is the hole in SE's ownership restrictions. I suspect the gil sellers/house flippers make enough that they keep multiple accounts as you can see many bot guilds if you take a look. As long as they are making money they will continue.

Not true. The real solution is to place permanent ban for both parties involved in house selling, and if any side of the deal have involved more than one person than ban everyone. Nothing strange to see entire guilds or group of people get permanently banned. The point is that the sellers will maybe try to risk but i'm sure the "normal" players will think more than once if is worth to lose several years old account for one trade. Btw when i said permanent ban i mean it, no "last warning" and no revoking the decision - if you participate in house selling in any way you will be banned... forever.

Banning will do little to stop RMT assuming you can even be sure that a house was acquired via RMT which you can't. As long as there are buyers RMT will continue and as long as SE artificially creates a housing shortage many players will take the risk of using RMT. The only real way to stop RMT in regards to housing is eliminate the financial reward and the way to do this is eliminating the manufactured housing shortage. Yes at the moment there are still available houses on many servers but it is a finite resource that will be used up on most servers sooner than later. The 4.2 changes are ok as a stop gap but not a long term fix to housing problem.
