I think that’s the issue right there… how do they still keep that function for the cases it’s truly needed, without leaving it open to abuse? This is why it’s allowed, but you can definitely make the argument that it’s not the intent of the system, since you need 4 members to start an FC to bid for housing. Still, they’re not going to have someone check every instance of this happening… that could be the equivalent of several full-time jobs. So what sort of automation could they employ? I don’t have an answer to that.

Which is why I’m in favor of solutions that add rather than take away… like instanced housing in addition to the wards. While I do think that putting the workshops somewhere like the GC could be a positive idea, I don’t think it’s going to stop house hoarders from hoarding in more than a handful of cases. Some people just want a place to decorate, and people that enjoy that naturally want more spaces to decorate. lol I’d love multiple houses and spaces myself, but I’m not willing to take up limited resources in order to do it! They need to look at the player base and give more options so that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the full range of player housing.
