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

I'm going to agree with you on the going inside point, OP. I've always scratched my head a bit that entering the perimeter of the property didn't count and only zoning in did. Because you can interact with your house without going in, such as while gardening or doing chocobo stable activities. Or just sitting on your exterior furniture. It's not hard to go inside. But it does seem it would be more logical that if you enter the perimeter of the property, you're resetting the trigger.

I'm thinking it has something to with the programming. The outside is a public place where anyone can go so it doesn't recognize you being around your house until you actually go inside. Basically, it can't tell the difference between you being on your property or in the ward in general.

Or it just never occurred to them. You have plot-specific triggers like your address or the items you have outside. So it seems there is something that stores information related to the plot. Why not also anyone who falls under the "owner" moniker? In the same way the system knows the exterior items belong to this plot, it would know the owner belongs to it and could trigger the "usage" of the house.

Boy you're really salty about losing a house you neglected for a month and a half.

Never neglected. Being on your property is not neglect.

ne·glect·ed
/nəˈɡlektəd/

adjective

not receiving proper attention; disregarded.

I'm afraid your house qualified for the definition of "neglected" seeing as you admitting that you could not find the time to enter your house and thus lost your house due to neglect. Had you given your house "the proper attention", you'd never have been exposed to the demolition timer.

at first I actually felt sorry for OP but with more reading.... so you tell me you did sit INFRONT of your house and were not bothered to right click ONE TIME at the door for 45 days? Everyone knows how the timer works, so this is on you, not on the game. It would have taken 10sec maxium. 10 sec! If you only wanna sit in the housing ward just buy an apartment. It doesnt matter if "you bought it" and "you earned it" - we all know the rules. They apply to all of us, if you didnt like the rule in the first place dont buy a house.

I am glad you felt something at all. Yes, it would only take 10 sec had i been aware. I addressed that as my fault. This post is for it to not be a thing at all. Points back to my 3 ways to fix it.
