Time on House removal/reclaming is way to short! (private houseing)

[BroodingFicus]

I think if housing was readily available to everyone, all the time without fail, repossession would not be so large an issue. Thing is (at least for the legacy and larger servers) having the 'means' to buy a house means absolutely nothing. There are no lots and so far nothing I have heard suggest there will ever be enough to meet demands. So even if Square gave you all your gil and returned all furniture, you still wouldn't be able to buy a new one. Personally I feel it should have gone like this:

1. The amount of days should have been in even subscription amounts. Ex 30, 60, 90. Minimum of 60. Personally I would have liked to see it /based/ on being subscribed to begin with if they insist on taking it back (for the record I think the whole system is out of order but *shrug*). Something along the lines of: After 60 days without a paid subscription, your house will be repossessed.
2. Those you share your house with should count in stopping the clock. If only to help people who can pay subs but are out due to medical reasons or military deployment etc since they chose to not make it subscription based in the first place.
3. Repossession should /definitely/ give you back everything. Funds. Furniture. It should also keep it stored indefinitely.

As Nicoba said, part of the saltiness in this whole mess is because Square came out, got on a box and said 'WELCOME TO THE FUTURE! There shall be no such outdated systems here!' and then implemented one to fix a mistake. A mistake they actually made worse on several occasions. Including the actual 'implementation' of personal housing itself. I love the game and obviously there are limitations to what the server can handle but punishing the players, even if they are willing to pay you for the privilege of keeping their house, seems out of sorts to me both as a matter of trust and from a business stand point.
