Housing is the biggest load of crap

[ShadowyZero]

There are plenty small plots available on most worlds for someone who want a home. If you are on one of the few servers that are full, move. Server hopping is easy, there is no excuse. If you wont move housing is not your priority, it's not that you don't have the option.
There is no housing crisis atm.

if they would allow for people to all have the same house size this would not be the issue for so many people but that doesn't solve scarcity this archaic system is by design a predatory practice forcing people to stay subbed to keep it so the auto demolition ends up being trivial from the get go cause no one wants to let go of it cause getting the damn thing in the first place is so mind numbing an ridiculous

this is why i strongly advocate for solo instance housing it would effectively give everyone the option to own a plot an have a house of whatever shape or size they want
people need to stop hindering others for wanting to stay put on their datacenters its their home and where their friends are, world visit is shit it locks you out of features something that should never have happened ever until they fix that then i'll keep disagreeing with the sentimentality.

So let me get this straight.You're saying that you have the demolition making sure you use your plot is a bad thing?

You are literally arguing that you don't want to use your house and you don't want to log back in.But the game should allow you to keep it?

If you don't wanna log in anyway , what's the point of arguing for it? You're concerned trolling about something you don't actually care about

Also, you're locked out of retainers/fc and fc chat and dont build fc points....what else?

I dunno why it's such a wild take. I've lost 3 houses to auto-demo. 2 mediums and 1 large. Why? Because I wasn't subbed and I knew that this was the risk and I know the same will happen if I unsub once I win another plot. It's literally not the end of the world. It sucks yes, but good god. At least I can still enjoy the game.

I mean, is it really forcing anyone tho like if someone realizes they disliked FFXIV and unsubbed longer than 45 days, they can just move on from the game? Also, many ppl have abandoned their homes, as seen in the last NA demo timer started it released 1k+ plots back into the world on all DC. Finally there are many open S plots available if they want to come back later w/o any bids too...

Yes, there's an odd exception like John Doe, who kept his sub active for 2-4 years for a house alone, but this is more of the exception than avg ppl who will decide 1 day to save $13 and put it towards lunch today. If the game no longer is fun or boring, it's time to quit and let the house go instead of resenting SE for allowing housing aimed towards ppl who login often to visit said house.
