Refund for lost housing items?

[Catstab]

Warnings or not it is a pretty screwed up system. Things that are bought for real money should be tied to the account in such a way that they cannot be deleted or could be recovered through the Mog Station. So while the potential is there to lose stuff as players are warned the right thing to do on SE's part is to allow items purchased through the store to not be deleted in the first place or recoverable by some automated means in the second.

I guess the thinking is "Why waste developer money and server space on a system that can restore these items when we can just tell players they'd better hang on to what they paid for, and if they don't they will buy it again"

The idea both saves money and makes money at once. Pretty smart move. Remember, SE is a business.
