I moved from Florida to Washington and went 3 months without internet that could handle FFXI Because stupid Century Link has crap internet service, so I had to wait 3 months to find a new place to get Wave Broadband.
That sucks, and I understand not wanting to pay for a subscription that won't be used. But no one else in your FC could devote 3-4 minutes over 35 days to log in?

Again, the problem is that you're giving all these examples that are incredibly far-fetched because they must:
1) Remove you from all internet access for 35 consecutive days
2) Affect literally every single person in your FC.
3) Affect the ability of another to log in for you or any other individual in your FC e.g. you and everyone else cancelled your subscription for financial reasons, so there is no active account for someone else to log in for you.

I see lots of people posting about how they might take a vacation, move, have a baby or otherwise be unable to log in for 35 days. That is all super legit. What makes it absurd is that it must happen to every. single. person. Even in a small 3 person FC (sorry, 2 people are not an FC by SE definition), none of the other two could log in? A friend couldn't log in for one of you? If postponing a sub for financial reasons the three of you couldn't contribute 4 bucks each to keep one account active for a month?

Seeing so many people bending over backwards to justify why they and every other person in their FC is gone for 35 days is only reinforcing my opinion that it's not an unreasonable limit at all.
