Sharing Estates With Alt Characters

Doesn't help the housing issue as a whole when people are able to circumvent the rules. Example, there are several dozen single person FC's with housing. And the only character in the FC is one that hasn't met the requirements to even purchase a house. What people do is create FC's, use a character that has the ability to bid on housing, gets the house then has their buddy transfer leadership of that fc over to their little baby alt, and then leave the FC with just their alt in it. Presto, they now have a lvl 2 alt with its own house all to themselves. This takes up housing from people who are actually "playing by the rules". I've suggested SE should put into effect some rules for FC purchases. FC's must have and maintain a certain # in order to buy and keep certain sized housing. Minimum of 5 for a small plot, 50+ for a medium and 100+ for a large.

While I like the spirit of the idea; there are plenty of "FC's" that are a few players as large amounts of the playerbase go on long hiatus leaving 1 or 2 members still playing the game to hold onto the house the FC earned. As someone who has been here since the beginning I've seen it first hand as FC's wither.
