Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

[Dualgunner]

I respect where you're coming from Hyo. I disagree because, in my opinion, they bought the house first. In this era of limited housing, I can understand a timer for when the sub expires, as in effect they're no longer paying "rent" and I even support it. I also feel that, like in my small little thought before your response, a lot would also be helped if players could just sell their plot. Even if selling it just acted as a forced demolition where you got 80% of your gil back, it would maybe alleviate some of the stress and it puts the relinquishing of the home on the player's terms.

I don't mean to sound snippy either, and apologize if I have come across as such. This is an aggravating topic that wouldn't even exist if SE hadn't botched the system up so hard to begin with.

" then why even own it in the first place?"

That's not a position to stand on. That's a question, and its answer varies from person to person, and I stand by whatever their reasoning was, they bought the house and won the race to own it, therefore so long as their sub is payed they should be able to keep it.
