RENT: A Better Housing Solution

[StouterTaru]

Invest a bit more thought into it besides "omg they want my money!! omg I can't go inactive and keep an empty plot with my name on it!!"

The money isn't the issue, it's the annoyance of going to that NPC to pay the rent, keeping track of when you last paid, and that 45 day reclaim is pretty quick to begin with, the 2 week suggestion is horrid.

Then there's the core of reclamation that shouldn't exist; basing it on game activity instead of account activity. If someone isn't paying to play the game any more, that should be the basis, not going in the front door or talking to a NPC in game. See the thousands of threads on need/greed in dungeon loot. "It's not fair that they get to roll need when I would do something that I think is more important than their glamour/desynth/GC seals. What I think is more important is all that should matter to anyone." This comes down to the same argument, "They aren't using the house the way I think they should, so I deserve it more."

Yeah it all boils down to I DON'T HAVE IT and I WANT YOURS. Pretty sad really. A PAYING SUB is all that should be needed.

Yeah, if you're completely bias and only see the one side of things.

Oh really. Let's all take WinterLuna's point of view to heart. Talk about painting the kettle black. No sorry I don't. Direct your frustration against SE and not other players.

Yeah, I'm the only one with this opinion. Just me. Nobody else. /eyeroll.

By the way, I'm not frustrated. I have a house.

I have one too and the solution isn't to penalize those with them. Get off your high and mighty horse.

I'm actually laughing at the fact you think the people willing to be online and use their house are the ones on their "high and mighty horse".

And obviously you have a house, God forbid anyone take it from you when you don't log in for 45 days.

Edit: getting pretty tired of the bias people here who will only see the side of their house being relinquished, so I won't be wasting my posts anymore. Have a nice day all!

That was not a suggestion, you need to reread the post.

This is more an activity thing, better than the current 45-day login policy because it actually requires a homeowner to actually do something in-game beyond just logging in.

...

The rate would be simple: 0.1% of the cost of the property every two weeks.

And you skipped out on the other reasons I listed in that post why it's a bad idea. It's an annoyance for the sake of annoyance to take away someone's house, because one person feels they deserve someone else's house.
