SE need to stop this!

[SassyAssassin]

Found the one who did it.

Omg that name hahaha multihousehoarder didn’t even realise

[Kewitt]

SE did. But sadly they should go back and patch it, So after day X the 1st house you enter you keep. All other homes go up for auction.

Rent? that gets a hard 'No' from me.
If it was gil it would encourage RMT, it won't affect rich players and anyone with multiple FCs on their account will be generating enough gil from their workshops to cover it hundreds of times over.

FC credits sounds better, but again botting dungeons would generate enough of these to keep multiple houses while small to medium size FCs would really struggle, especially if several people took a break at the same time.

Housing is the one system in this game that frustrates me. It's never worked 'as intended' with happy, bustling neighbourhoods. The ward system puts severe limits on outdoor items, most FCs want larger houses but they're very few in number and access to a workshop is gated behind house ownership, locking many FCs out of the content.
I supported the timer when it was proposed and I came to regret it. Let's not propose yet another band-aid that's only going to cause more problems down the line.

Housing is a system that is viable for all expansions and should provide fun for both private individuals and FCs, yet what we have is poorly planned and riddled with issues. I'd like the devs to stop slapping on band-aids, take a proper look at what players want from housing and give it a thorough overhaul, because it desperatey needs one.

and give it a thorough overhaul

Step 1: make a seperate section in the eula that makes it clear that ward takeovers are NOT allowed.

This way such behaviour can be punished. It wont affect grandfathered houses (unless that was a ward takeover, most grandfathered houses arent)

Even if they then would still do one using 30 accounts, its 30 accounts that are paying. And if they are only paying for that house... i would say thats cheap income for SE. It will in this case be relatively easy to handle the accounts that have multiple FCs with multiple houses for this purpose. As in the end, detecting such abuse is plain easy when you can just check the number of houses players have. 8 shell FCs on 1 account with each a house is simply just a red flag, and on that can you can easily decide to remove all houses.

The first step is to always make sure that whoever wants to exploit the system cant. Either by rules so you can punish afterward, or by simply not making it possible entirely (which can be very hard in the current system)

You should re-read the "how to aquire land in FFXIV" help page from Square themselves. Would be enlightening for you

What's this? The ultra rich buying up all the houses so the average person can't in order to jack up their value in the future? This game's housing truly is realistic!

Except the ultra-rich are now backed into a corner being limited to FC transactions. Not everyone is going that route and SE may always choose to start watching FC changes faster if they feel they can't keep up with the ward additions.

How about you educate us? I have characters on most DC's including Chaos and Light and you're talking through your hat. I have friends on Raiden and the server splits were all the same Eorzea wide when it comes to FC/Private allocations. That is pretty much how SE operates they don't treat different data centers or servers differently.

Prove it... give us a link.

Do your own work.

Because it's their job to fact check you?
