Housing plots need rent. Sound horrible? Consider these facts:

Maybe a hybrid system would be good - everyone seems to really care about being in the wards themselves, so maybe you have to pay rent to stay in your swank location.

lose your plot location, the plot goes up for sale and your house gets moved to an instanced plot all by itself, accessible from that gate to nowhere that all the housing wards have and don't use.

Nope I do not agree with this. Instanced housing (Coming from Ultima Online and SWG) is not something I will stand behind, ever. SWTOR does it and its USELESS. Having a neighborhood and people to RP with and interact with is a good thing. Every night on my server in my neighborhood everyone stops by our local tavern and we all RP and have a good time. The FC makes its gil running its business this way and no other. Having instanced housing would make housing useless. What SE needs to do is make you have to log in once every 30 days and enter your house as it was in Ultima Online. If you didnt, your house would decay and someone else would get it.

In order to cater to the cry babys of such as system, SE should reimburse those who lose their homes like this with the money they spent on the PLOT and house fee. They will probably not come back and use the gil anyway and it would appeal to the cry babies who scream (WAHHH this isnt fair, I spent this much on an im game house and even though I am not pay or playing the game for MONTHS, the house is MINE and I do not want to lose my gil)

It took me 3 weeks to get one mil gil. I am still trying to get 20mil to get the LAST MEDIUM plot in my subdivision next to my FC's house. I will not stand by a gil upkeep cost. Sorry but I am one of those poor people that started this game a month ago and just hit 50 in my first toon a ninja and is leveling as fast as possible on his miner before the expac hits and not spending a dime on Anything in order to buy a house. My solution is a bit more fair to everyone involved and will keep the housing market going. A major feature in this game such as housing and everything associated with it is already expensive enough. A lot of crap is gated behind it. Coloring chocobos and everything else should NOT be only for the super rich.

That is my solution. After 30 days, BOOM house gone, gil reimbursed to Property Owner/FC Leader, plot goes back on the market at regular price (Meaning the depreciated one as it already deprecated once, no need to make it do it all over agian.)
