Why telling people to unsub is a horrible defense of the game.

[Theodric]

Yep. And if someone wants to keep paying, then accept that too. But don't start whining about how you can't unsub because you'll lose your house as if you have no self control.

I think it's disingenuous to frame it as 'whining' when competitors to the game manage to offer the ability to spend months or even years away and still have a house waiting for you upon your return.

Furthermore, it ignores the simple fact that player housing is a big draw for many of us and if we're lucky enough to obtain one there's no guarantee we'd be able to snag another after losing it. I'm lucky enough to own a mansion, though if I were to lose it for whatever reason I wouldn't look twice at the game again. Much like how a raider wouldn't bother investing in the game if they lost access to raid content just because they took a break.
