As the black market kingpin, you know and abuse what loopholes you can.

Refrain. I will not ask a second time.

Lol, not only are you poorly informed about my FC, you're poorly informed about the housing rules. Go purchase two FC houses on the same account on Spriggan, you might figure out that there are no restrictions on FC housing

What he said. FC housing restrictions were removed a long time ago. That isn't to say they won't come back, but that right now, any housing plot is free game. Even to those already with an FC house.

So much hate for Mew, when they've played by the rules given to them.. I fail to understand why beyond "They have what I don't". To which my response is "too bad..?"

There's the letter of the rules, and then there's the intent of the rules.

What MEW has done is clearly against the intent of the rules implemented in 4.2, despite being within the letter of the rules.

Sounds like you're roleplaying... alone. As if we care about any of this.

The issue with that is I believe SE would've stepped in, if it were truly against what they stand for. That and "intent" of the rules is up to interpretation, unless we're given a straight up Black-and-white stance to avoid the infamous "grey area".

If SE intended for one person to have 50 homes they wouldn't have a limit on individuals. This is clearly a loophole that allows people to circumvent that rule. This can't possibly be what they intended. However, unless I see their logic behind removing the cap on FC house purchases per account, I have no idea what they're doing.

Originally? That was the unintended goal. Back in the day, a single person could own half a ward, purely for having the gil to do so. But I can only assume an FC having a monopoly on housing is more acceptable, given it's a group of (Assumedly) 50+ people all working to get to that point.

If it were a Roleplaying FC owning an entire Ward, I think it'd be fine. Especially if they used the lands they owned, beyond the workshop and FC-related systems. But that is a stretch even on the best of days.

(To be clear, I more-mean hosting Roleplaying events, offering RP hubs and such as "used the lands they owned".)
