Pushed to quit after 1,860 days subbed

Unless you have had a change of heart, your previous posts show the exact opposite.

No, I never directly even stated that I was solely against other notifications directly, you all dogpiled on me and made assumption after assumption that that's what I'm talking about. I am against everyone making excuse after excuse for the OP and absolving him of the partial blame that goes directly into not managing his house better or making the rules and demolition timer more known to himself after five years. There never was a change of heart because you only saw or read what you wanted to see and made assumptions that because I feel the OP should be held accountable for his actions that apparently I'm against more notifications. That was never my main argument ever.

How can people take the initiative to learn about something they don't even know exists? Literally nothing in the game aside from housing and the furnishings within can be taken away from you. It's only natural for people to assume that once they buy a house that they have it forever regardless of how they play, given that's how literally everything else in the game works.

As for OP he is far from the first person I have encountered who has been playing the game for a long time and didn't know about the demolition timer. I can't even begin to count how many people who I have encountered who had no clue the timer existed. Some of these people had been playing even longer than I have. OP isn't a special case at all. He is just unfortunate that he found out after his house got removed.

And this is where I keep getting frustrated because some of you are making excuse after excuse for the OP that the blame should be placed solely on SE when it's also the person's own negligence and fault that it happened as well. It takes less than five minutes to Google "XIV Housing" and come up with these.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ This mentions Auto-Demolition at least, not in full detail, but hey, they're telling you it exists.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Housing This one actually talks about the process near the end.

If you ignore the tools that you have available to you inside the game via talking to someone that knows about housing or outside sources to learn, it is YOUR job as a player to inform yourself of any features that you have questions about. If you cannot, then it's your own fault for making bad judgment calls and assumptions. That's player negligence and sheer laziness. Everything you've mentioned in the above quote is just poor excuses, I'm sorry. I could understand if he only were playing for a month or two, but five years or more? No, no excuse. Start taking responsibility for not knowing about things you had plenty of time to learn. If you have time to run seasonal events and the Cactpot, you have time to spend those extra five minutes on Google to learn about the housing snippets.

And do you remember every single line of text you read in patch notes? Do you also read the parts that don't concern you? I don't even bother reading the pvp section as I presently have no intention of doing any. And when I decide to in the future, do you expect me to read all past patch notes to make sure I'm up to speed on everything about pvp? I hope not. Like most players I would simply jump in and do pvp, and learn as I go. Which is how most players approach content.

The problem is with housing this doesn't work because SE are not clear enough at the correct moments about the existence of demolition. It's even hard to find out about it by accident because the demolition timer is hidden up until 15 days are left. A player completely unaware about demolition could go the the estate tab of the timers window, see no demolition timer, and therefore not even find out that it exists. It's almost as if the whole thing about demolition is deliberately designed to be unclear. It's awful.

No, which is why I always go back and re-read things I don't understand, but yes, I also do read the patch notes in their entirety, that's what they're for.....to learn. What's so difficult about refreshing your memory exactly? Again, terrible excuses that you're using to absolve the OP of his share of the blame towards why he lost his house and items.

What happened sucked, but it doesn't absolve the OP of his share of the blame.

Like I said, if I lost my house and items, it's because of something I personally did as a user, not because the system was designed to make me fail.

I'm sorry, I don't agree with the OP being completely innocent and that's what your entire post makes him out to be. I'm not going to change my opinion on that.

Willful ignorance is not a good excuse.
