Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

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.

If they ever make an exception, that should be it. Deployed players should keep everything.

When Everquest 2 was not F2P, I deployed to Egypt and was gone for a couple of months. When I came back, I only had to pay the weekly rent cost (cost less then gear repairs) to open it for the next week. All my stuff was where I left it.

As I said earlier in this thread. Deployed players help us all keep playing the game. Its not too much to ask for them to be able to keep certain features when they are called to duty (one that could cause them permanent injury or end their lives for our safety). That's the honorable thing to do.

That would allow everyone to have access to the features they've paid for.

First off the military do great things for the country they represent, but 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? 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. I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive.
