Shared house doesn't count for Auto-demolition.... FOR REAL SE?!

[Mooga]

This is stupid... Literally stupid.

I was away for about month or so because of Family and Christmas but I have 2 friends that are very active that went to my house every other day to check my house.

Then I received an email on my tablet saying:
FINAL FANTASY XIV Housing Automatic Demolition Notice (10-day Notice)

For real?!

So I had to go to my old parents machine, install the game, lucky I always bring my Token but fuck... the trouble i had to make the game work on old machine....

Why you do this to your subscribers?
Can't you just make it so! If I'm paying please leave the house alone. I'm pissed realhy... fuck.

Make a house per account, demolish houses that are dead completely as in, no subs for 1 month and half or something... realhy... I always payed even when I don't play for 1 month because of stuff... but now this is fuckin stupidity. :/

It said right in the patch notes when this was implemented that only the house owner can refresh a personal home.

Maybe so but it is still a really uh..poor way to handle it. IMHO..anyway..

Perhaps read the patch notes next time?

Saying it was there doesn't help and doesn't solve the issue.
At first i might have read and saw it yeah should be ok.. might not happen... but did happen. It just shows how bad this have been handled especially for players that are subscribed every month. Before there was probably 1 or 2 months that I couldn't play but I payed it anyway.

Why should I be punished because a few people that want housing and some of them are people that subscribe with months skip.. why should I get punished?

Now I was able to do something about it... but what about next time?
What about if I go to hospital for something and then come back and my house is demolished..
Its fuckin stupid.

Devs should start reading the forums for issues that might conflict real life scenarios, instead of checking forum post about people asking for Flying Fenrir Mount.
Before ADDING this new system of demolish there should have been better though of what to do. We probably will be stuck with this system until 3.0...

The worst part of demolish is all the items I have inside rather than losing the house.

... Please Devs... Do something ... say Something...

Meh... They prefer to add vanity stuff I guess? :X

If you're in hospital/unwell for 45 days straight and not able to log onto an online game then I think your issues are far, far greater then a house being demolished.

At the end of the day housing reclamation is a good thing that was sorely needed - and here's the kicker: It was a hotly requested feature on the forums. So I guess all that time the Devs spend not reading the forums are spent....reading the forums?

When I said hospital I meant work. Like going out of the country to work etc.

It was requested to add more wards. Their response was this rather than more wards.
It's 2 different things.

I guess you missed the part where we're getting new wards in 3.3 and then apartments and Ishgard housing after that.

The housing reclamation was only the first step of their plan to alleviate the housing issues.

Yeah but until 3.3 will be half a year.
Stuff happen on that time, many things.

I know its the first step but there was other ways to do this.

This is not the best way to alleviate, because people can still buy more than one house per account.
The first step should have been to limit the houses per account.

I agree with you on the houses per account limit. I wanted to smack some people when I saw the PF's up reselling the few plots that did open up. Dunno, I think the reclamation was definitely needed though. Too many houses have been sitting unused for ages.
