Fake FCs' Housing Abuse

[NanaWiloh]

I dont even recall what thread it was in..sorry. It was another poster who said they heard about the issues during and old live letter. Given the issues with housing currently, I find it hard to doubt what they said.

Sorry for multiple posts was on mobile at the time...cant edit my posts on my phone.

I don't doubt you're right on this, but that said, if significant time has elapsed SE could have figured out a workaround for that issue so I wouldn't necessarily assume that's still as true today as it was when it was said.

Yep, on Excalibur the last couple houses that have sold have gone to shell FCs that only have one level 1 character in it. Very cool stuff!

Have FC weekly stuff that must be fullfileld by the FC, meaning more in numbers would make it a very easy task, but next to full time if only 1 active person is doing it, that will flush out many of the intended 1 person FCs, it will flush out a bit part of the people that is selling FC's for insane amounts of cash and it will open up for that having a FC with a house is not without any trouble, make it easier for having ships doing parts of it, once getting to that or something.

There is a lot of people, who is earning gil on selling FC's and involved into RMT that way as well as for when they need to sell their gold to goldsellers and the likes.

Yeah, there are nearly entire wards on Excal owned by shell FCs with only 1 lvl 1 member. And it's been like this for a very long time. It's insane.

There are a lot of shell FC with only 1 low level player and a house.

The results that come from queries on the Lodestone originate from a database that uses outdated information. Whether or not that is intentional is anyone's guess, but do know that the information generated from such queries is inaccurate.

Here's an example of two FCs sharing the exact same name on the same server: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...&gcid=2&order=






You ever seen an FC with 0 members? Now you have.

yep, i know someone who bought a medium house on shiva for 55 million , (he just got the FC leadership)

The downside is obvious, you can't join another FC if you do that.

There are numerous sites like this out there. My daughter, who also plays informed me that there are Discord servers and sub-reddits dedicated to the selling and buying of FC's with plots as well.
