Why Removing Houses from inactive is NOT a solution.

This, so much this. Nearly everything they have done in HW so far feels like a subscription grab. Timer, upon timer, upon timer for everything, and now "keep subbing or lose your house(s)".

Not that I'm agreeing with the method, but to be honest it does make some sence on a financhial level at the verry least.

No Subscription means that they aren't making money off of that player and that means nothing to compensate for rge resorces they're using.

All I really hope is that it's judicial in practice targeting even Larger FC's that meet eviction criteria and not just smaller guilds and solo players who are on break too long.

I'm with Ace on this one. Everyone demonizes SE for trying to make their game more profitable by ensuring you need to pay them to use their servers? Those brigands!

I wish personal housing was instanced. That'd solve most of the problems - but it seems like SE is explicitly not moving in that direction. I don't think their game plan can solve the current shortage, unless they intend to add wards at a dramatically increased rate, relative to what we saw in ARR, once they have the means in place to ensure the homes are actually used and enjoyed by paying customers.

The system would only punish the very small number of housing owners and essentially make them slaves to their subscriptions. It is not a good system to inflict on a small minority of players alone, for a system that many other games can handle flawlessly.

Or it would be the real players who would be owning houses. The ones who play every day or 3 4 days out of the week. If they unsubscribed they have no reason to have it no matter how long and how much hard work they went threw to get it keep housing for the people who are playing.

SE should just start taking away your gil when you unsubscribe. Minions? What good are they when you're unsubscribed? Gone. All that space your retainers (not just the additional ones, but the default ones too) and their inventory take up would be better put to use elsewhere, so yeah we'll take that as well. Maybe reset your chocobo to default color. Oh and you're not using your GC or PvP ranks anymore, so let's just wipe those out while we're at it.
