Could we do something?

I mean just in ward 12 they own 13 of the housing there, it's insane and takes homes away from other players, I know there'll be more homes in Endwalker and am looking forward to the lottery system as I might actually get a damn place but its still crazy just how many places they own and SE can't (or won't) do anything about it x.x

[IckeDerTyp]

What's SE supposed to do? Remove their claim on the houses? Ban them?

Who says you're not next if they do that?

More supply is the only actual solution. Atleast in my head! I doubt the lottery system is gonna change much either.

But never say never! ^^

wouldn't say ban em' but it seems like its multiple accounts to get past the 'one house per account' they don't need 13 houses, this wouldn't be a problem if they did instanced housing (think Runescape / SWTOR for something like that) instead of wards

They need to fix it so only one alt/main character can be leader of a FC. The intent was one personal and one FC per server. The one private has been enabled but the problem is FC's purchases are broken and they're done nothing to fix it.

see this would be how they should do it, only the leader of the FC should be able to own an FC home (and that ownership moves to the FC leader if they try to change it) though I'm sure there would be ways around that as well...

More supply isn't viable when not only does it require more hardware in a time where there's a literal shortage and even a million dollar company can't magic up infinite amounts of servers, space to secure them and people to maintain them but people will continue to use alts to bypass the rules as long as the rules aren't well clarified and enforced. If square isn't going to add instanced housing then they need to better define the rules for housing to prevent this "technically not breaking any rules" garbage people use to do things that were clearly not intended by a system that assumed everyone would be playing in good faith.

As for the scare tactic of "who says you're not next?"
Well if there's twenty people in a room and a plate of ten cookies - then yes I'd say we start slapping the hands of people who reach for three or four cookies entirely for themselves first. And maybe start telling off those who pay their friends to get them two or three more cookies so they're the only ones who can get any while most of the people hanging out can't even get one crumb. Is the problem with the core system of whatever jerk only gave twenty people ten cookies? Yes. Of course. But the least people could do is not abuse a bad system. The absolute least.

If you do something cruel or selfish and your only defense is "Well the rules don't say I can't pee in the pool, everyone else does it!" Then you're probably not standing on solid ground to begin with.

Except there weren't 20 people in the room, there were 4. Everyone had 2 or 3 cookies until the plate was empty. Then 16 more people showed up and started asking why there weren't any cookies.

So while looking for some available housing in Ul'dah I noticed several homes in one ward all owned by Moon, isn't there something we could do to stop these people with multiple accounts owning different homes as it takes houses away from other players.

30 plots out of the many plots wanted by players is a mere drop in the bucket. The system is bad so put the blame where it should go, to SE&Co. You cannot rationalize with hoarders in real life let alone in an MMO so just keep tagging SE to fix housing and move on.

Prepare to be banned I said same thing with a similar thing on Ragnarok. They are aware of it but are not going to do anything about it.

Did you say something that could be deemed harrasment? If yes, then fair play.
