Places like Materia, you can check out Ward 2 Goblet on every single server, and see that a single Airship/Submersible BOT owns the entirety of the ward and is making ~700m/week from the subs (RMT pog!)

Conclusion? Square Enix don't care. If they did, they would Limit House ownership 1 ONE PER SERVICE ACCOUNT.

I have a large FC house, Medium Personal (And recently demolished two large personals on NA/OCE because i don't use them and somebody else will make better use of them!) And i could still go buy another 20-30 houses with zero competition. If you want a house so badly, Move servers.

FC's should have to pay a tax every month on the house, to prove they are actively playing the game (Even if it is something as simple as 1-5m company credits (Easily obtainable by 1 person in 1 month of playing)) or get evicted.
Uhmmm yeah there are some really big misconceptions here lol

You dont make 700m from a single ward, I dont know where you found that, I really dont, but okay, on average a submarine house makes ~~400k/day depending on build, multiplying by 30 houses, that's about 12m per day, making it 84m per week, not anywhere near your 700m per week, even if you do get lucky on RNG which is possible, you'd get maybe 120m a week.

Of course they dont care, multiowners have a lot of account, why would they care ?

This tbh, moving to Dynamis is the solution really if you cant get a house, and for EU, Raiden and Sagittarius are both free real estate.

You understand as you said yourself, submarines make a lot of gil (not 700m as per your claim though, that's absolutely ridiculous and I'd know if it made that much), so this would only be an annoyance to "legit" fcs, having to pay for "tax" in a video game.
