FCs buying multiple plots

[scarmace]

Ok so on a few servers ive visited ive noticed that there are alot of plots taken up by the same FCs, using slightly different names. They all have 1 member in the meaning they are creating FCs buying land then leaving 1 character in the FC making another FC similar name doing the same again. Sadly this is taking up ALOT of plots that are already very limited and they are circumventing the 4 person in an FC to buy a plot rule in place. Can we maybe make it so a minimum of 4 people must be in an FC at all times to own a plot? this would free up alot of plots and stop people griefing others by taking up more than they realistically need.

Heck, this could well be RMTs speculating on virtual land. Has anyone heard of FCs "buying" plots from someone else?? I'm guess that kind of stuff is a dead no-no from SQEX..??

It is happening and it is a no no.. but they don't have a way to prove it as they do transations outside the game to avoid SE rules.. which dodging rules should be punishable in itself but oh well.. nothing they can do and nothing will be done as of current..

There is also a small group of people on the forums who will defend these acts and attack you for pointing them out.. I hope your prepared for that..

There's always a group that will vehemently defend an exploit regardless of what damage it does to the playerbase.

True.. they tend to believe that if it can be done within the game its something they're entitled to do and should receive no punishment for.. when that's not the case. Bending the rules can be just as bad as breaking them and should be handled just the same..

Tho that last part was mostly just a warning to OP who had 1 post about what might happen when you stir the housing hoarders awake.

Yeah, we're in that long stretch before 6.1 gets released when (hopefully) things improve. I'm hoping SE pushes some housing updates with the EW release, as it **REALLY** needs them.

Small part of me kinda respect people cba to make new characters, form a fc and grind to rank 6 in order to buy a house, then to maintain them. That's alot of work, i assume.

It's not a lot of work to reach rank 6. You only need to generate something like 100k company credits. That's very easy to do by turning in dungeon gear farmed solo unsynced or crafting HQ end game items then turning those in for seals.

It is not a barrier to someone who wants to create a shell FC for getting a house with workshop. The only hard part is finding an available plot then winning the placard war.

SE has told us Ishgard will have the same number of wards/plots as other housing zones. I did not see anything about new worlds other then the new dc in Australia and possibly again in 7.0. When you mention new worlds per dc is that from something you saw posted or just some hope on your part?

They want to add more worlds to accommodate the recent increase in the player base. The semiconductor shortage and COVID travel restrictions are hampering their ability to do it.

Thanks for the link jojoya. Perhaps they could get some used servers from blizzard cheap.
