    In the dreaded "real world", if the governing body of some area decides that "hey, this guy has abandoned his house" or "he's so far overdue on his taxes and isn't responding to our notices, let's seize his property", they won't halt the process just because there are people labeled "tenants" occupying said property. Their biggest concern is maximum utilization of available resources and the all-mighty bottom line of being in the black instead of red. Real-world tenants have no legal "two cents" to throw into the argument, and that's how SE is handling this.
    You probably scanned trough my post.

    In real world i have 2 vacations properties. I pay the maintenance, the house tax, the community tax and whatever needs to be payed. And I visit it for about 1 month and a half each year because is when i'm on vacation. Nobody went to get my house. Its not abandoned its just not being used for its purpose. But Listen! I'm paying it its is as I would be there living cause you and other people don't need to know if I'm actually sleeping.

    Now on FFXIV is not a real life scenario or close to it. I pay for the sub. I go on vacations and i still have to deal with this crap system. My sub should be paying that tax. So your point here is invalid.

    There no house tax but maybe there should be, cause everyone pays the same sub but not everyone gets to have a house.

    Actually there are several "taxes" we all pay in real cash: our monthly sub fee, additional retainers because SE purposefully set our inventory space so low, and items they sell on the mog station.

    SE makes enough money off of this game to afford to buy the infrastructure needed to have more wards, they simply choose not to. You should direct your anger at them, because they are not providing the in game resources that you are paying for.

    Yes I think the housing system is screwed up and SE needs to fix it, but people need to stop using that that they pay a sub well so does everyone else so people need to come up with better reason why the 45 days shouldn't exist and the retainer thing that a whole different issue that could take up a thread on it own.
