Housing demolition timer need to be changed! Sitting on your property needs to count.

Here is what I mean.

This is what I'd like to see. We already have instanced housing but people are still asking for it because apartments weren't made to be as good as the wards. If we get a balcony/greenhouse for everyone then the dissatisfied people can finally rest. Apartments are technically limited in number but there are enough that we won't run out.

I wouldn't have my house today if not for the demolition timer. My house if the most important thing to me, the point that I subscribed an entire year because I don't want to give it up. I log out every game in my bedroom and craft most everything in my house. I even personally craft almost 90% of everything in my house, a project which took me a month to complete. If you have to "babysit" your house, it really sounds like you don't even want it. If the house is a burden, let your house be given to someone like me, who will enjoy it thoroughly.

Ahhhhhh, right on time, the morally righteous "you don't deserve your house" crowd is here. Which is funny since, if you'd bothered to read my post, you'd see that I think everyone deserves houses, not just a select few.

See since 11 days i had the warning of a friends L house in shiro, he had that large one fro private and got another one for his fc... made me mad since we had no chance back then...

His house was EMPTY the first 1-1,5 years, now like 50 things are inside, at most. like ONE item in all the basement. Not it was almost gone and i waited if id might get it, but nooo on the last day he logged just to keep it and i bet i wont see him another 3 weeks now >_>

I never said "you don't deserve your house". But if players are at the point that they are going to complain about being forced to go into their own homes then why not let someone else have a house?

force them to babysit their property

You make it sound like such a burden. Well, you can always ease your burdens by letting someone else own a home. It's win-win.

I think they should have to reimburse ones for cost of the plot, lost of house and any lost furniture they can't get back. Kind of dumb can't loose apartment room but can private house. They need to change it where if have it shared if one them enter the house it stops auto demolition to it just like a fc house. Like I have mine shared with max amount people can have. I do it help ones that can't find plot open for themselves. that way they can do gardening, use the chocobo stables, and all items inside my house. It be nice if they let friends buy rooms in shared plots to.

Basically. The entire housing system is bunk in this game yet players celebrate active subscribers losing out because they feel like the system is somehow personally meting out justice to those they think are unworthy lol. I think if you stay subscribed, you should keep your house. Someone subscribed is just as invested in the game as you are, no need to force them to babysit their property just so they don't lose it to someone else who will likely never do anything with it either after the initial hype/decorating period has worn off.

I still can't believe after like 3 expansions the devs have done arse-all to fix housing and we're still stuck with Ultima Online levels of ancient housing management.

100% agreed!

If you guys think literally walking into your house once every 45 days is "baby sitting" I hope you never have kids or are around kids...

First: This post is meant for only people that had this happen to them.
Second: I pay for subs.
Third: I enjoyed my house and queuing from outside for pvp, doing tournaments, ranking top 100. I do not feel this deserves loss of house. You stated its a burden, I did not. It is not. I normally would enter house, just lost track on time and that fact that the timer stuff started again, I was busying enjoying the game from my house outside to notice. Because I care. I provided some change options:

3 ways to fix this is:

1) Allow being on the outside on your property to count for all who log on and pay subs. Which i did often to que for PVP matches.

2) Provide a Pop up warning when you log into game showing clearly that you are going to loose your land if not enter house click here to confirm notice. This is do to FFXIV housing rules just starting again. thx!

3) Convert to instance housing for all that can never be demolished by a timer. As promised in the past!
