Can we get an Official clarification on housing Demolish timer (45 or 90?)

[WinterLuna]

@Sicno, I'm not trolling you, I just saw that specific comment as being hypocritical

[RiceisNice]

tbf the person they were replying to was ridiculous. One person having something means one other person can't have the same thing, but why in the world does that matter? They were equating buying a house with taking a house from someone else. It was a pretty silly premise, and a very forced argument.

And the same can be said for sinco's reasoning way back. The matter of fact is, they're both not good reasoning but he'll probably still stand by his own while disagreeing with mine.

If you know it's a bad argument, why would you make it...?

No offense, but then you are not someone SE will cater to. Not everyone burns through content quickly nor is running it all the want to do. Why should these players be punished when they're actively paying for those 3-5 month intervals because others have unsubbed to play something else? It's just bad business on SE's part, and makes far more sense to offer benefits to consistently paying customers as those are the people likely to stick with you longer.

Youre taking your time with those 9 instances they put in.

Now, the biggest issue I think everyone is running into here is the fact that the "reasons" that more than 45 days might be needed are NOT good reasons. We have ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE here that you deem to be "needing more than 45 days" saying she does not infact need it. The irony is the people who DON'T have an illness are the one's fighting the person who DOES that she needs more time to keep her house *facepalm*.

I have an illness and I disagree and found this notion distasteful. Not everyone's experience or situation will be the same, and being unwell yourself does not give you the authority to pass judgement on another persons situation or priorities. Just because someone has bigger issues for a time does not mean they won't look forward to returning to the game and enjoying their house when they are next able to.

I don't even own a house but I can sympathize with both sides of this argument. I just can't say I agree with most of the arguments in favor of the proposed system, and justifying taking houses away from other players. I just think the whole thing could have been handled better.

Again, please be careful with your wording here - nobody was passing judgement on other people's situations and I personally was only speaking for myself. I don't think I have any authority to speak for others so please don't make out that's the situation. Even so, you are missing the point of people's argument.

The point is that, with the situations people are presenting as argument, 45 days is a long enough to either log in or have a friend or family member log in for you. Again, if someone is unable to do that, then as sad as it is and not the players fault, they have to accept that the time has passed and they couldn't access their account.

The whole housing system could have been done in a much better way, but these arguments are stemming from the fact people think they're entitled to something just because of uncontrollable situations. The fact is, Square Enix has chosen 45 days. Like it or hate it, that's THEIR decision.

Another thing is that the number of active players who are looking for a house is far greater than the number of players who own one and are unable to log in due to these situations. SE cater to the majority.

[Derio]

45 days is plenty of time.

Because the person I'm talking with likes to make their own arguments in the same sense, but holds it against other people when they do the same. In the end though, [B]you /B] are the one that responded to me when the person I was talking to can't even come up with a rebuttal.

tbf the person they were replying to was ridiculous. One person having something means one other person can't have the same thing, but why in the world does that matter? They were equating buying a house with taking a house from someone else. It was a pretty silly premise, and a very forced argument.

In response to this, the matter of fact is that only one person/FC can own the house at a time. The other end's perspective is essentially coming up to the same point; the owner of the house is going to lose it to someone else if they don't take steps to prevent so. It's not even "taking it from someone else" as much as it is putting it back up for sale.

[T2teddy]

You people keep thinking that just because "We want an extra month" or so means we don't care about the house really shows just how little you know of the situation or how eager you are to tear someones house for no reason

Not eager, desperate is more like it.

You have no idea how many qualified but homeless FCs there are on your own world of Balmung, I bet. 320 with another several hundred at rank 5 and very active.
Balmung even has 4 owned but completely empty lots. 2 in the Goblet and 1 each in the other two housing districts.

28 of your land owning FCs have 1-3 characters in them all between levels 1-15, and they are not active players.

I don't know about the rest of the community, but I'll be damned if I'll ever go buy a personal house and deprive a homeless FC of all the content that comes with FC housing.

So too bad but, I see no reason why home owners should not be required to log in once every 45 days, although I personally find that despicable behaviour when so many are out in the street, per se.

Oh and chances are there will be a lot more qualified FCs sooner or later. You did have 1906 Free Companies registered on Balmung in August

@Malicewolf 45 days for combat tour enlisted troops isn't feasible without "illegal" account sharing.
