A person ever needs to get the cost of the plot and that's it. If the buyer is retarded enough to spend over 2x what the plot is worth, that's on the buyer. If someone wants something out of what they paid for, they're allowed to. Simple as that. They are not being greedy. It's not just a thing. It's the way it is if people want to recuperate it. If the game allowed people to sell houses directly, sure as hell would be cheaper. But -the game- does not allow it.
It's not the way the game is, Kage. The game just says "the relinquisher doesn't get a refund, the new owner pays the housing broker for the plot". Selling the time of relinquishment is entirely a player construct. Blaming the game is a cop out.
Well, you're arguing that the seller of the original plot should be able to recoup some of their 4 mil+ by passing on as a fee to the buyer, so why shouldn't *that* buyer then try to recoup some of their 8 mil+ by passing it on as a fee to the next poor sucker? If the first scalping makes sense, why shouldn't the second larger one?
Because even if the first 'scalping' makes sense, you don't charge $2,000,000 for a house that's only worth $400,000 and expect people to take you seriously. Most would overlook it rather then give it a second chance.
