a) Don't generate gil (unless you're also charging gil for your RP)
b) Are pretty damn boring unless there's at least one other person there RPing with you, also foregoing their gil generation
c) Rely on some concept of community, as they are cooperative enterprises.
It's almost as if we feel that there are things more important than gil, mmmm? ;)
But the RP community as a whole is INCREDIBLY small. A great deal of RPers know other RPers, or at least know of those RPers through other people. Us not doing it isn't going to do anything for the community. To be honest if I had a plot to sell and someone offered me a bunch of gil for it (unless I knew them well), RPer or non-RPer, I'd sell it. Why not? I only have to gain for it and no one else is paying for my subscription but me. Since the property would belong to myself or my FC, I think it's all fair.
In fact, if the FC is selling the plot, I think that's even more incentive for them to sell it. Fill the FC's coffers with the profits to further supply the house that they'll inevitably upgrade to.
