Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

[Klamor]

To play the devil's advocate here, I'm interested in peoples' opinions on this while considering that active duty military play these games as well. If I cared about a house (I don't) and bought one, should I really lose it just because I get deployed for several months to a year? One could argue the whole "not using it" scenario, sure. But if my subscription says active (which it does when I'm deployed) because I have the income to do so, why shouldn't I get to keep the items I worked for, the house included?

Now, I'll say the housing situation in this game is absolutely horrid, and its implementation is the reason for my lack of interest in it, but I'm just curious what reason(s) is/are valid for simply having an active subscription to be sufficient to "keep what you kill".

Well if this person is in active military or any job that they are away for long periods of time. They do not need a gardening plot, chocobo stable(rarely gonna be dyeing the bird). If it's their own personal FC then they wont be using the airships. They also wont be able to reset the timer for reclamation. So please tell me why they need a house and not an apartment, as all the features of a house/personal FC they will hardly be at the house to use.

First off the military do great things for the country they represent, what happens if they do die or are seriously injured that they cant play? Is SE supposed to just keep their house there as a personal shrine for other players? I'm sorry I don't mean to come off insensitive saying this. Thank god this is all SE does pre 14 if you was away for more than 3 months your whole account was at risk of being deleted.

The subscription provides access to the servers, and the data they contain (the game). By abiding the rules and playing the game properly, one obtains a personal house or personal FC house to take part in the content that opens up which is all that you mentioned. The "not using it currently" argument doesn't carry through when they return and continue using it where they left off. Also, provided said service member has any family, in the event of their death the subscription would likely be terminated, thus allows for the demolition of housing or otherwise deletion of the account in its entirety as some companies already do.
