Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

If you were unfortunate enough to be in the hospital dying I would hope that the first thing that you would be thinking when you came out would be "I'm glad i'm alive"
instead of "damn, i lost my ffxiv house "

This is such a stupid comparison. I know that if I'd just recovered from a life-threatening illness, I would want to return to normalcy as soon as possible, and yes, I'd probably get pretty upset when/if I found out that the house I'd worked hard to obtain had been taken away.

This is ridiculous. You can say 'if I was' or 'I would probably' all you want, but until it actually happens, you can only guess what your priorities would be. And if losing a few 1s and 0s in a digital game is the worst thing you have to deal with after an extended hospital stay, you are lucky as hell.

This is wildly off topic anyway. I don't see the point to going on ad nauseam on a single, hypothetical example that isn't even the situation that the OP is in.

And this is why the argument is stupid, because nobody has ever said that this is the worst thing that could happen to them. The whole point is that players shouldn't lose their house because of stuff out of their control when they otherwise would have wanted to keep it.

Well, OP was the one who said "I could be in hospital dying", that implies preventing himself from dying is of a lesser importance than his pixel home, lol.

This could all have been avoided if he had just dealt with the issue instead of complaining about the demo timer, and asking SE to fix the housing system instead.
