I do find it interesting how vehement some of the arguments are, though. That's telling.But you are doing almost exactly that, if even it is the act. You have made the judgment that the act is wrong when in fact it is what it is. There is no right or wrong to this situation.

But, like I said before, I'm not interested in rules, or in forcing my views on anyone else. I was merely concerned about what I saw as an unfortunate thing, and wondered if this is something that we should all accept. It appears my question has been answered in the affirmative: This is a thing now.
The only wrong that can be extrapolated is when someone full on asks for 7-10mil for a small plot. I saw someone selling a small plot in the Mist just today for 7.5mil. My reaction was to scoff because the very idea of someone actually purchasing a plot for that price is absurd. No one here is saying that anyone will be paying the seller more than the original's plot worth. The seller is not purely benefiting from it.
You may not be outright stating that you're not judging anyone but you're definitely judging their actions. But yes you are right, no one else really thinks it's a bad thing. People who have done generous things will still continue to do generous things. That is a thing and always has been. Just because they do not does not mean their actions are wrong or bad. Or even anything to make a thread about.
I mean I bought an FC and then sold it and the plot. What did I sell it for? 2mil. If i sold my current house I'd probably sell it for the lowest the plots devalue to. Will I give it up for free? Depends. On many factors. Is it easy for an FC of X amount of people to make more gil than a single person? Depends on many factors but it's usually a "yes". So do I think that it's easier for an FC to just eat the costs as an act of generosity for fellow RP FCs? Definitely. Do I expect individuals to act the same? I think it's a boon if so. Do I have a judgment on any other action of the sale? The only judgment I have is when you sell a small plot for 7mil+ and a person still needs to buy the plot. But if a person is desperate or in my mind insane enough to do so, that is on them.
