I support making the "housing" npc that holds your item a much longer time period, but may not be possible depending how it was implemented. I assume it is simply to prevent the database from holding potentially endless housing items in a data table, and potentially slowing the response times, but it can't be that hard to ignore the timer they placed on those items when they moved it.
However, as far as losing your housing and it going to the NPC and the NPC timer, all of that is public knowledge, and yes it sucks, but if you can't meet the commitments, it shouldn't be left unoccupied.

I agree the system they are using is in my mind set up to get more money from players.
Now I will say I agree with auto demolish if you are unable to log in because of how many players want a house.
But the 35 day limit to reclaim your item and 80% of your gil is just a way for square enix to show greed. I have played other mmo's with housing and they send the items back to your character no reason it cant be done this way here. Now I might have missed it but when i got my house I knew about the 45 day rule for the auto demolish but I never saw anything about this 35 day rule for reclaiming your items and gil.
I had to stop playing in 2018 made it through most of Stormblood story but I was in the hospital with cancer that is in remission now I was in every way unable to log on in 35 days to reclaim my stuff. Also didnt know i would have to.
I also saw someone in here post something about they dont know what character the item belongs to. Thats why you would have the system give it all back to the house owner because it does know that.
Now this and what I have been through plus the fact I dont make gil fast in mmo's it took me for ever to get the money for a medium house infact a friend even helped me with a few million. Was unable to get a large because of not having the gil. Plus all those event and quest rewards for housing are gone as well I dont have time to start over and I shouldn't have to.
I do honestly believe the 35 days to reclaim your stuff is based on greed and nothing else. Because there is no reason for that to even be a thing. -

Despite knowing that rule, I can't say that I agree with it. Forty-five days isn't long at all. If they wanted to clear up the backage in case these people are "gone for good," I would go with maybe 6+ months and then deletion of stored items.
Even then, I find the deletion of items (not the demolition of houses) hard to justify.
Because I'm usually on a very tight budget, I totally forgo houses now, and only have an apartment. Houses just aren't worth the IRL money or stress to me. -

The way SE handles items from demolished houses is silly, if a person was unable to log in to keep their house, in what world does it also make sense to think they will be able to log in to collect the items.
