I've Lost Everything

[Rymm]

How many of you would be screaming and still playing if you lost your gear, minions, mounts, etc for a month and a half absence from game? The housing you work for is the same.

It's absolutely not the same. You are comparing apples and oranges. Gear, minions, etc. are all unlimited resources in this game and farming up a full set of the latest gear and then not logging in for more than a month doesn't affect anyone but you. Sitting on a house and not using it because you don't even log in for more than a month is locking another person, or even entire FC, completely out of housing just to hold your place for whenever you might come back.

If anyone has a right to be upset about the demo timer, it's people like me. I bought a house loooooong before auto-demo was a thing and lost it because they decided to implement the timer while I was taking an extended break due to getting married and moving to an entirely different continent. It sucks, plain and simple, but even then, I recognize the demo timer as a necessary evil. For as long as the housing system remains broken af, I'll support auto-demos so that houses will go to active players.
