Owning a house is such a privilege in this game there should be some kind of commitment tied to keeping one. Call it tax or whatever.
And that privilege was already paid when we bought it..hey its a privilege to do the hardest content in the game so please everyone lets pay a tax to get into that content...hey you want to pvp? Lets pay a tax to do that since its a niche content anyway.

What do people want to achieve with a tax? Punish those of us that somehow got lucky to get a house? How its our fault that SE decided to use such a content? Why should people be forced to do certain content just to keep their virtual house that they already worked their ass of to pay it? Just because we have some really rich people in this game does not mean that everyone owns so much gil and making it a "other currency only" would even be worse. Not everyone has poetics on mass. Not everyone even has the time to constantly run content to gain it..why are those not allowed to own a house? Maybe they will have weeks where they simply cant play? Poetics has a cap so you cant even grind for this in advance. And its not on us to say how people should play the game. No this is just a horrible idea and only there to punish people...and as soon as those that wanted it have a house on their own and suddenly cant pay for that "tax" they will come back and complain too...

This is a game, not the real world..if people see houses as status symbols and something to brag about, well they can but for a lot of people its probably just something they enjoy out of this game..and you want to decrease that enjoyment with such a punishment. Lets stop trying to make the community pay for the mistake of SE...
