Never Have I Felt My Time & Support So Disrespected In Over a Decade of Online Gaming

[MitsukiKimura]

Let me preface this by saying that this is not a critique of housing demolition on its own. While I don't exactly love the system, I understand its necessity given the finite number of housing plots available, and the only way to give everyone a fair chance at finding a home.

My problem is the deletion of housing decorations.

I am a hardcore MMO player, though many would consider me a casual since I don't generally partake in hardcore raiding or PvP in most games. Rather, I concern myself with light role playing, customization, fashion, and, of course, housing.

I have played FFXIV since the release of Heavensward - certainly not as long as many of you, but long enough to have amassed my own collection of items from story quests, past holidays, or personally bought or crafted. Each of them holds as much value to me as the end game gear of a raider, especially when I can use them all to make a space feel like my own.

Recently, however, I had my years worth of progress thrown away because I could not login for a few months. Not because I did not pay my sub, not by any intentional doing of my own, but because my house got demolished and I missed the window to reclaim my items.

As stated before, I'm not upset over the demolition of my house, the loss of the Gil I had invested in the property itself - I knew the risk when I got into that. And while you might say I should have known the same could happen to my individual items

You have 45 days to log in at least for even 1 minute out of that 30 day time span to prevent your house and items from being lost. You even get a Email warning ahead of time about it so it's not like you weren't given any sort of warning. I'm sorry if you feel this is wrong or if you felt like your stuff was taken for no reason but Square enix should not be responsible for your mistake.
