New Housing Wards for Balmung, please!

Or if not, implement the system that resets plots that haven't been used for 1-2 months.

No no no no no this is not the solution no.
Do you know how long and hard I worked to save up for my house? 6 months. 6 months of putting off PvE and most anything else to raise funding for my house. I stared at the market board for hours. I prepared months in advance for when new wards opened I would be able to get the desired plot of my choice, and then prepared harder when they were out to get the desired ward of my choice. Do you know how angry I would be if I had to take a break for 1-2, or even 4-6 months due to RL circumstances to come back to all of my hard work, all of my planning and focus to be gone in an instant? Imagine if hardcore raiders had their gear reclaimed if they did not log in for a month or two. Or achievements or even levels rolled back. That would not be fair.

Actually I think there's already a system in place where if you're gone for a certain period of time the plot opens itself up.

There is not. They never implemented it thus far. They realized it would not be a good idea due to the reasons I stated above, and how upset people would be.
And it is not like they never changed their mind in the past. Heh. They did say it was something they were intending to do a long time ago, but never have, so I hope they will never go through with it.

Regardless of the "how to resolve it" in this case, I still feel the OP's general concern is spot on in the higher population servers. While I can definitely understand the concern with the resetting of plots, I would still say something should be done to help the housing along here.

If they did add the feature, you could prevent that by simply not unsubscribing and actually USE the house plot you took from other potential owners. It's no matter how much effort you put into something. If you don't use it, you don't need it. 10-15€/$ a month is not that big of an issue to pay for to keep a house, or hell, just have an FC mate log in and actually use the house to keep it up. It's just really sad to me how many people don't seem to use their houses daily as I do. Wards are ghost towns at the moment (and the funny thing is that Yoshida said they implemented neighborhoods because players demanded them. I wonder where those are players now? Maybe waiting for their house still.)

It's nothing personal and I share your feelings, but remember that house owners consist of 2% of the population, so they're still a minority and the uprage wouldn't be that great, not bigger than the uproar that was had when housing and personal housing were first implemented. And most important of all, the efforts and understandable feelings of a few (like yourself) are not superior to the amounts of currently abandoned ghost houses of players that will probably never return that are right now in the oldest wards. I've made my searches and though I cannot put down names, I know there's at least 3-4 long abandoned FC houses in each housing areas as of now.
