To Square Enix, these are the reasons why I am currently unsubbed from the FF14.

That depends on the person. If they really need a break from the game, then they won't care about losing the house (and potentially the items and gil they can reclaim if they decide not to return in 80 days. 45+35).

There's a huge difference between a break and quitting the game. When you take a break, you typically do care about losing your gil and items, especially when they're items you can't get back or costed you real money.

Only this would have me think about whether I want to take a break for 45-80 days or not (I'm pretty sure these can be reclaimed from the NPC). Anything else beyond that wouldn't really affect my decision.

But that's just me.

Allow me to give you a personal example. I had to sub just so I could reclaim my stuff. I had no desire to play the game again yet. There was still no new content, I had done all the current stuff. I won't give you the entire list of things I had to resub to reclaim, but here's the short of it:

80 million gil from my mansion (bought before house reclamation was introduced, during a time when it was promised it would never be a thing), and 5 Eastern Cherry Trees, currently valued on my server as a total of 100 million gil, or going by its real world value based on the Mog Station, $25.

This is not even close to everything I would have lost, of course.


I will concede, I would not be so against house reclamation in its current state if they kept your gil and items for you indefinitely, or at least for a very long time.
