    1-FC house, per FC.

    I can live with the new system with those changes above.
    For FCs, it looks like any alts will be able to enter as long as there isn't another alt on the same account in another FC that owns the house "as buyer".

    We've already been told that entering will require the full price to be paid upfront for each entry (land devaluation is also being removed).

    We've already been told that a new member waiting period is being added to FCs in 6.1. A character still in that new member waiting period cannot be made FC Master or be given land acquisition permission.

    FCs are already limited to a single house. Those who think that some FCs have multiple houses are incorrect - those are actually unique FCs, though sometimes those FCs are held by alts of members of a specific FC who are using the additional FCs to gain access to additional grade 3 FC actions, gardens and workshops to benefit their main FC. SE really can't stop that from happening unless they're going to state that all characters on the same world and same account can only belong to the same FC, and I don't see that ever happening.

    That's impossible. Even with a standard subscription we're limited to 40 total characters per account. They'd only be able to get 8 entries on 5 worlds each per service account.

    To get to 6,000 possible entries per waiting period, RMT would need a minimum of 150 service accounts at a cost of US$1950-2250 per month (depending on if they go with a recurring subscription). Keep in mind that winning a house puts the other 7 characters on that same world out of commission until FC Master for that house can be transferred to the buyer.

    I genuinely have no idea how much money a single RMT vendor makes from housing resales in a month but I doubt it's enough to justify spending that sort of money for multiple subscription, especially when the amount of competition they have for housing is about to increase from a relative handful of players to hundreds outside of the periods when new wards are first added. After all, the point is to get the money to pay for things in real life and not to get the money to buy more subscriptions.

    RMT is always going to have an advantage, that I don't deny. But at least some of the changes being added help to narrow the gap by increasing competition for what houses are available then slowing down how fast RMT can complete their sales and start over.
