My absence and return - thoughts on demolished houses

[MaikoRaines]

They saw a system designed to force them to sub being implemented, said, "If I can't take breaks without losing all my crap then I'm done with this game." and came back to tell SE that losing everything majorly destroys any incentive to ever sub again. The only two major issues are SE's design and SE's architecture. Nothing community-wise needs to be done if those problems are addressed properly. When your means of 'saving' it is paying a sub during a period you will either not be playing or simply can't afford to pay it, I won't fault a person for not playing along.

If one says nothing, then a company never finds out what is causing people to leave. Feedback about WHY you're leaving is critical in improving a product.

Not disputing this issue - it's a slippery slope. If someone owned a home, decided to either take an extended break or quit altogether, how is S-E going to determine that the house belongs to a player that just quit outright versus a player who unsubbed?

Some people argue 45 days is more than enough or not enough at all. What is a reasonable amount of time? A year? Never? If someone quits and they own a house, why should they still be entitled to own it if the assets never get used? Tell me how it's fair that someone who hasn't subbed for more than a year with no intention on coming back should keep their house versus someone who needs to take a break past 45 days should receive the same treatment? 45 days is a slap in the face. A year is justifiable to release assets to people who are active.

Or better yet, instanced housing is eternal.

I've also never known for S-E community reps to log in, ask what's up for an individual who makes posts like these because post like these are a dime a dozen. Then again, I've never seen them recently address this housing debacle either.
