Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

[/B]. If you violate this provision, you may unexpectedly lose access to your account to a third party without recourse against Square Enix. Square Enix will not be obliged to credit your Square Enix Account with Crysta or other points or awards, which may have been used by a third party as a result of the violation of this clause.

If you read the rest of that term, it's pretty much saying 'If you lose your account to anyone because you gave away your information, Square Enix cannot be held accountable'. They're not saying 'If you give your information we'll ban your ass'. Y'know, cherry picking and all that...it's really dumb when the answer is /right there/.

3.1 clause basically says they are not responsible for loss of your account if you give your password to people, it is not bannable, at the same time you lose the account to a stranger then you are screwed.

Not really cherry picking. It's still listed under the Prohibited Activities, regardless of what the actual outcome of said activity is. And based on the paragraph above it, they're basically saying "we'll ban your ass". I didn't know people would actually be so chafed for just asking a simple question. I even got told to go to a different thread. Really? That's hilarious.

It sounds like the ones without houses are so upset about not having one, that they don't care what the reason is for a person being away from the game. They want what you have, and there's nothing that will appease them to let you keep it. I find that hilarious.

Gonna just repeat what I've said before, and I'm not trying to sound cold or callous by saying this.

I fully respect what members of the military do for their country. I am able to sleep peacefully because they defend our country. I am also sympathetic to those who are struggling with real-life crises, such as a personal loss (been there), financial struggles (been there as well), serious illness, or a natural disaster that has taken away their ability to play. But none of these are reasons for SE to give these people special treatment with regards to their housing plots.

This comes from nothing resembling bitterness about being unable to own a plot due to how limited they are. This comes from frustration about people circumventing the demolition by just logging in every 44 days, touching something inside their house, and logging out only to return in another 44 days (therefore not even USING their house), and from frustration seeing people demanding special treatment due to things outside their control.

Yes, it sucks not being able to control the fact that you (general "you" here) can't afford to play right now, or that you will be unable to play due to real-life responsibilities (that should take precedent over a virtual house any day), but SE is under no obligation to give you special treatment just because you pay a subscription. Because so do hundreds of thousands to millions of other people. I'm tired of seeing people think they deserve to get some sort of special treatment over others. Especially for something that, at the end of the day, is extremely trivial in the grand scheme of things.
