Stop Threatening to Knock My House Down!

[Themarvin]

So I just got an email telling me that Squeenix is getting ready to knock my house down because I haven't entered it in a while. This is despite the fact that I held a disco party in my house last month complete with a live band.

I've entered my house and cleared off this extraordinarily aggressive action against my domicile, but it really annoys me considering that I'm on Maduin/Dynamis which I had to do just to get a medium house. Dynamis is a fairly dead data center and it's enough of a pain in the ass just to get into a daily roulette, let alone anything more involved. So I have to spend a great deal of time on other data centers just to get parties or do anything involving PvP or Party Finder. It seems a little odd to go hard on someone who has an active account, is playing actively and even if she hasn't gone into her house recently, she has been using the aetherite in the front yard.

Yeah I get that housing is hard to get, but that's a monster that squeenix created and I don't appreciate them threatening my stuff as a half-assed solution to said problem.

You are clearly not using the house or spending time with it at all, then you get these mails, also it contradict quite a few things you have earlier mentioned yourself, now please be so kind to deal with the system as it is now, you know the rules, you know the setting, you know how it works... and it is clearly written down what happens if you are not taking time to use your house now and then.

The message is at best a friendly reminder and do you chose to ignore it, it will go poof, end of story.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

Ok, so that aside.
The common problem that I keep hearing over and over again relentlessly is, "I used my house weeks ago, what do you mean it got demo'd?" I think a lot of you have issues with time blindness. The last two people who came here talking about there being a bug..the first one admitted himself that he simply lost track of time and did in fact wait too late to go in. The second talked about having just put in event posters, but the problem there was that there was an event poster both that month and the month previous to that. Which told me that he likely THOUGHT he had went in his house THAT month, but likely had done so the month before with that previous event and that was why he lost it.

A lot of you posting like this legitimately don't go into your houses for weeks at a time. Now whats wrong with that? Weeks are dangerous. It takes 4 weeks to be a month. By the time you're at week 4, it's probably over for you, even with that little additional time they give you after sending the email. What to you feels like only a week or two, can easily already be a month. If you're not sure. Always always always check your /timers Estate tab. There is no excuse for this. I don't want to hear about your email spam folder sabotaging you, check your /timers. That is something you have control of looking at directly to tell you whether or not your house is safe. You have that tool. You may think you go in every X amount of time, but maybe one time you simply forgot. Or maybe you went in somewhere else and later confused that as being the time you went in your house. Whatever the case, always check your /timers. As for OP, classic case of 'Ok I got it, forget everyone else who still wants one'. Hilarious, and mostly expected.

I'm not sure what's worse about these forums, the rampant bullying or the fanboy white knighting.

It's really amazing how nice people are in game, then you come here and it's reddit levels of toxicity.

Staggers the imagination.

Because the game isn’t as nice as people make it out to be; people are just worried in game that their beloved character will get banned because you asked the level 87 WHM to stop spamming cure 1 and do some DPS

And reddit is basically a yes man for this game at this point (except xivdiscussion but it’s a different kettle of fish)

Where is a person who legit cares about the game and hates the directions it’s going meant to doompost

Because game is actually moderated properly, unlike this place.

Unfortunately, your writing style and your post history are working against you. The written word in a forum is going to stick with some people much longer than a casual encounter in game will, especially when the written word from the past is so easily searched.

If you can be subject to 'toxic bullying' through having your own posts quoted at you, what does that say about your posting style?

If it's any consolation, though, from years of playing NN cop I can tell you this much: if you talked in-game like you talk here, they wouldn't be nice to you there, either.

Clearly. I wonder when these trash tier reddit trolls will figure out I have them ignored.

Imagine SE fixing their housing system lol any game with a bit of logic would have give a free house that you can change and invite your friend in all you got a the savior of the world as WoL is a dusty inn room or an Island that I am still not very sure why it's even there
