Housing Ownership System Abuse

[Almagnus1]

What do you do when it's an FC with 30 people, everyone using their 1 house 1 fc house rights to own 2 houses and they all coordinate to buy all 60 houses in the ward?

I already addressed this earlier, and I'm going to ignore the rest of your hyperbolic nonsense that's a total misrepresentation of my position.

Here's the quote:

As long as each account is compliant with the restrictions linked above ( https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ ), I'm fine with that. That means operating a ward is going to take 15 accounts, which is going to work out to be like $2250/year for the entire ward. FYI I'm using my sub cost which is roughly $75/six months or $150/year to estimate this. If someone wants to be a whale and waste their money that way - it's funding FFXIV regardless so we might as well let them.

So in other words, each account reduces down to one personal house and one FC house per account and I'm fine with it.

I'm even willing to compromise on that with the following:

• Throw out the asinine FC per account restriction and have a sane demolish timer if the FC drops below four members (which follows the purchase restriction linked above)
• Give everyone a grace period to either divest the houses or spin up additional accounts
• Give people divesting a 100% refund on the house
• Unbind decorations that would normally be sellable on the market

The really big problem with is SE's inability to pick a set of rules, stick with it, and enforce it equally to everyone. SE should normalize housing and stop making exceptions like grandfathering in people because it's only making a scarce resource even scarcer.

Edit:
And if that assumed person was actually following the restrictions, they'd be spending $8,850/year for the 59 subscriptions needed to own that entire ward. That's a huge chunk of change and if this is something you can't afford to do that's not my problem.
