Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

Yeah you're right, SE should have never suspended the demotion of housing for those suffering from the Earthquake in Japan. What were they thinking about those worried about losing their virtual house. And who cares if people get deployed for more than 45 days and can't get access to their game. Shouldn't matter after all for the I want a house so bad crowd they could give a hoot.

The OP is asking to be able to drop their sub. That's an entirely different matter than those who actually pay a sub and can't access the game for a extended period of time for legitimate reasons.

So being able to drop their sub and keeping their house is more important than getting the correct medication and treatment? Priorities.

Also, one person in hospital hardly compares to an entire nation being affected by natural disasters...

How would you feel if you put time and effort into, say, leveling and gearing your character, take a break, then had to start at level 1 again? Not the same? Maybe, but how is it any different?

That's a flawed statement because the in-game system allows people to retain 80% of their spent gil on the plot, as well as all indoor and outdoor furnishings within 35 days post-demolition. A better comparison would be that you'd need to relevel from 58 to 60, and regain all your skills from Job quests.

In the end, nothing is really lost except time...
