Square Enix removed my house when I used it every day, said "oh well"

[Mhaeric]

Per your aggressive and accusatory response to my reply calling you a bully: case and point. *tilts victim hat* have a good day.

Just ignore Yshtola. (I recommend using the Add to Ignore List option from their profile.) That account is just one of multiple alts of a player on Gilgamesh who bought out nearly an entire housing ward for themself. They only ever post on the forums either bragging about all their houses or putting down others over their housing complaints or issues. I assume they only post using their various alts on the forums due to reaching their daily limit and/or getting temp bans, because they don't try to hide that they're the same person. E.g. they all use the same signature.

The ignore function truly is a blessing.

It's maybe the 3rd or 4th time I hear about that bug and honestly it really scares me. Do we have any hint as to how this bug occurs and why?

I hate to sound blunt towards the original poster, but there's no evidence this bug even exists at all. Yes we've had people say about it happen to them, but I think they work out what they did wrong because they never fill out a bug report (this thread included, despite me including the links to do so on the previous page).

And going "oh well" is exactly what the OP has done, despite SE telling them twice to make a bug report as well as other players in this thread.

So if I get this right, they're the ones who maybe did something wrong and that whole bug story is a cover up for their mistake?

Pretty much as SE can easily just look at the player logs. Check when they lasted entered the house and the date of the demo too see if there is a bug. If there was a bug the time between the entry and the demo would be less then 45 days. SE would have informed the player base about this bug if it existed, especially if they have not been able to resolve it. As poppualr as housing is it would be foolish of SE to leave such a bug too continue randomly claiming player homes.

SE came out with investigation results once and said there simply was no bug.
You do hear of it now and then, but like others have said, there's no evidence of it actually existing.

It typically ends up being that the person in question didnt actually understand the housing rules. They thought visiting the yard counted(no, you actually need to go inside). Or they were a tenant and thought they could reset the timer(only the actual owner whos name is on the placard can reset a personal house - any FC member can reset an FC house). So when the house goes away without them understanding why, they think its a bug. Then they come to the forums either for answers or sympathy. In actuality, this has never been verified as an actual bug.

For Clarification here.

If it's a Personal House: Only the house owner can reset the timer

If it's an FC House: All players who can add/edit furniture placement can reset the timer. (Usually this setting is only kept for trusted people, given the hearsay of people stealing furniture from FCs, due to a lack of monitoring who can do what)

Pretty sure any player in the Free Company can reset the estate timer, even if they don’t have permission to move the furniture around. It just requires entering the estate, not really tinkering with it.
