Housing Rant

[Jojoya]

You are mistaken. The fact that they have taken steps literally against FCs proves otherwise. You are justifying a loophole in their already not-well-thoughtout plans. Just because they have not put a logical, common sense method in doesn't mean it's okay to do it.

That's like trying to justify crimes. "Sure, we know it's bad to hurt little Timmy, but in the end it's okay because we were born with arms and hands to slap him around a bit."

The steps they're taking are to hinder RMT resales of houses. The only impact the changes have on shell FCs is to make them wait 30 days after creating the FC to buy a house.

SE has made it clear that they're fine with the shell FCs when the "owned as buyer" restriction is placed at the character level, not the account level. If they weren't okay with them, they would have made it account level. They would have also placed a restriction on the minimum number of members needed to retain a house instead of just buy a house.
