How the invisible timer can REALLY ruin housing

[MaybeOliverB]

I'm going to explain how they can be abused by potentially a single person to further worsen the housing crisis in the game.

From SE's perspective, more gil gets taken out of the game so why would they care? There are servers in this game where housing can be purchased on sight. If someone's harming themselves when they have better options, that's on them really.

There's a certain very annoying, obnoxious and player who must not be named who does this. They admitted as such, and I don't think has been banned for it, despite well deserving of it, because the people they are abusing likely don't know who they are, and wouldn't report it. But it is possible.
