Housing Selling and Player Abusing the System

[Krotoan]

Hi,

Is this fair?

I don't feel so.

Isn't there anything to be done except get extremely lucky that a house opens up when I check, or do we have to pay these players an absurd amount of Gil (prices goes up since server's full) to have one of these plots?

You can also wait till the next housing ward or area opens up, currently rumored to be Ishgard in .. possibly 5.1 and run the housing rush at server opening like most of us with houses have.

Can't or won't SE do something about this system loophole to prevent assholes like this to keep doing this?

They've been trying to shore it up, it used to be that people could own personal AND FC houses on every alt on the same server but that was changed, however people who already had multiple houses got to keep them. . We can only pray for more regulation or a new system implementation at this point.
