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

100% agree for Instanced housing! awesome !-_-! Looking forward to it!

Reading the way you replied to my post is a bit difficult. Next time just divide them into [ quote ] [ /quote ] bubbles next time instead of this strange bolding and inserting comments into the middle of them. They make it look as if I've made the comments when I haven't.

Just format them with my statements in quotes and yours outside of it.

like this.

And this.


Some people don't have gardens or chocobo stables in their yards. How would this work for people that don't desire these items in their yard? Sitting isn't anything interactive with the environment like the former two, so it would be much like just stepping into your yard.

My comments are directed towards what the game already offers. You were sent multiple emails about the demolition of your plot and you neglected them. Just as you neglected going into it for a month and a half. I'm honestly having a hard time understanding this, because I go into my house every time I'm logged in. I idle in there. I queue for stuff in there. I craft in there. I use it a lot.
As I should, because I have the dream plot in the Lavender Beds and I'm lucky as heck to have gotten it in the first place.

The better solution to not losing your estate is to just go into your house once every 45 days rather than adding in all these features to promote not actively using the house. Not that hard to do to just click on the door and check your retainers there instead of your FC house every other week.

We can agree to disagree. I already answered this statement before.

Just wondering did you ever check your email? They do send email notifications. They properly gave you ample notice regarding the possibility that your plot will be revoked.

So you got the a notice, but you noticed it too late and lost your property? That the basic gist? Sort of confused if you missed the emails, what is to say you would not miss an in-game notification. I do not know, I mean to a degree I could understand your position if you happened to not get the email regarding the demo timer, I have heard people in past did not get the warning emails until it was too late. Though you confirmed you did get an email, but either did not notice it or did not act on it. If you do not mind me asking what exactly is the problem you are having? Do you wish for SE to place more safe guards regarding plots so players can better map out when they need to enter their house to prevent demolition?

Do not get me wrong the housing system in this game has many issues, but the timer itself seems to be serving it's general purpose and to a degree I would argue that the timer should be shorter regarding demolition when it comes to not actively using them home which by SE bare min standard is entering the house once everyone 45 days.

Why is this thread still active?

OP lost his house because he didn't care enough to make sure he keeps it.

Let the thread die now.

For me personally I am interested in what the true rational is behind the request. I mean generally the concept of the timer is to promote homes are used by players that actively use them, yet it seems as if the OP wants to limit how much use clicks on his house door to reset the timer. Which seems to go against the very concept of the timer in the first place. Seems like an odd request that goes against the very intent of the timer.

"Sort of confused if you missed the emails, what is to say you would not miss an in-game notification." the notification pop up needs to be confirmed thus you would not miss it when logging on.

To repeat here:

3 ways to fix this is:

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.

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!

Convert to instance housing for all that can never be demolished by a timer. "never be demolished" as promised.

I agree. What the OP is promoting is new ways to neglect their own housing, which would be self-defeating for Square Enix to implement.

At the core I see no difference in confirming the notification at login, and checking ones email associated with the game every so often. Anymore warnings and concessions made regarding the demolition timer would go against the intent and purpose of the timer.

Granted instances housing would be nice, and an ideal fix to the overall housing issues. Though your suggestions regarding the timer go against the main purpose of the demolition timer in the first place, and are simply a band aid fix to your own personal carelessness. In the end I do support instance housing, and maybe one day we will get it.
