RENT: A Better Housing Solution

[Preypacer]

SE had to choose a time limit that catered to both players with housing and players who wanted a house. 45 days is a month and a half. This isn't a ridiculously short amount of time, nor is it a long time. If a player wanted a break, they would be able to take one, while not leaving players without housing waiting too long.

So, the answer is by SE's standards. It would be impossible to take each individual players circumstances into consideration too. Things happen that make people unable to log in, but there are also people paying a subscription that want a house and would be online to use it.

Fair enough.

I still think we're (as in everyone) barking up the wrong tree by even having that discussion. As I explained in my previous reply, it shouldn't even be necessary, and I really think it's wasted energy for players to be arguing with players over a system which, by all rights, should be able to accommodate everyone far more sufficiently than XIV's system currently does (or even will in the future, despite the additions they're talking about - unless they've found a way to add more wards as they're needed).

The question is, or should be (IMO), "Yoshi-P, why are we, your paying customers, having to sit here and try to think up ways to work around your botched housing system?"

Completely agree with you. The only reason I'm arguing is because of the current situation, and as of now, the time limit is the only thing keeping things balanced unless they completely redo the housing system.

Agreed. And a re-do is what it really needs.
