SE need to stop this!

I agree that there should be more private homes but if there isn't population to fill it, then the same will just happen with those that already make alt accounts entirely to buy additional private homes. If there aren't enough actual unique users, I don't see it changing even with swapping more to private.

Privates will sell unless you're talking about Materia which has it's unique issues right now. In my ward on Sophia a second medium just sold after months with 3 large, 2 mediums and 2 smalls being sold. There are 4 mediums just sitting there with no buyers. That's 7 houses sold with 23 open plots after months and months and that is only my subdivision. My ward was initially a FC ward allowed to go private but I don't suspect these problems will exist on Dynamis or even the new EU servers. If they keep FC wards (after all those are houses that can be sold to people) as they are for months you're going to see the abuse happen.

I can't speak for whether or not ward sales have been going on here on Materia given I haven't really taken the time to look. They certainly have the time to do it if they so choose
