You have one single individual, who's clearly rich, has multiple upon multiple characters and accounts. Owning the 2 divisions in a Goblet ward, every single plot. Spreading even now in other wards, Mist and probably other locations I didn't bothered to look at.
That individual likes to present her actions as : I like to decorate. Which is fine, but this is really really pushing it in a market that has extremely low offers and massive demands. All this happens, mostly because that person has the wallet for it and why SE is not going to take any action. All the person has to do, is have a notebook/excel file and visit each house like every week-end to refresh the timers. Virtual money or fees is nothing to them, let alone having multiple subs on multiple accounts.

We had a similar case in WoW with multiboxing and abuses, for once (granted it took ages), Blizzard nuked it. Only good deed they've done in recent memory.

And you know what's funny ? Hardly any visitors to these places. Just a few screenshots for Instagram/Twitter and Discord (where it's specified no RMT but you dwell in it, hypocrisy at it's finest). I just finished decorating my garden and I've already had people checking it out. These plot hoarders either do it for RMT or selfish reasons (in my example, someone with a deep wallet and wanting multiple houses to decorate and showcase on social media).
Wouldnt even bet on RMT. Yeah sure there a few who just want to get a quick buck.

Most Multiowners simply dont know what else to do with their wealth. If you played FFXIV long enough (and I'm not talking about 24/7 or patchday crafting or playing) just playing the game it would be easy as nowhere else in any other MMO to accumulate a decent wealth. And if you didnt flush it down for glamour or for cute catgirls in Limsa a few hundred million gil on the side is no curiosity ingame after a few years of playing. What else can they spend their gil on? The cheap 25 or 50 Million Mounts? They dont serve of a Gilsink for rich Players. Not even close.

Its just to easy to go to a random Houseowner and asking them "Here xx Million. Mind to sell your FC/House"? And funny thing is you dont want to know how often you get the answer "Sure why not" because they want to get rid of the burden to keep a sub for the house, werent invested enough to begin with etc.

And in the case of the certain Spriggan Ward. No one gave a fuck for this server for month or didnt even spend a second for a thought about a world transfer. Those people simply have no right to be offended because they didnt took the opportunity to do the same. So as long the TOS or the General Housing Rules isnt violated we are not allowed to prented how others play Final Fantasy. And if they want to pay for more then one account we should let them. Square would be stupid to cut off income. If we like it or not.
