Quick responses:
WTFast: You haven't lived with the problem and people already wasted many hours of their lives "chasing a real solution" to no avail. Some left the game and others like myself just pay the $6 surcharge on accessing only this game whereas every other game in existence works fine. What actually stopped me from logging in was losing my job, burning through my entire 401(k), maxing my credit cards, having a tax bill on my hands from withdrawing my 401(k), my landlord increasing the rent $400.00 a month mid-year, needing to move from the city I lived in for 11 years because I can no longer afford it, and hoping to scrounge some way to buy token gifts for the children in my life for Christmas. Responding to what felt like a mean-spirited email over the holidays from SE about taking my in-game house was not a priority. Anyway this is not really relevant to housing so moving on.
Timing: You yourself wrote that your experience with WoW was your last straw and you won't be returning. And this was after an extended absence. This type of behavior becomes increasingly unreasonable the shorter the absence, and game companies should think more carefully when making these decisions. I'm pretty sure that 45 days is the most punitive system amongst it's peers.
Landmark: Still disagree - I don't find it relevant. Landmark is not a released game and purges/wipes are a common practice for pre-release games. This is not so common for paid subscription games that are post-release, and not without very careful and usually very generous requirements that need to be met before losing things.
New Housing: I'm angry with the entire system. I was left with pretty much nothing. The very last thing I did before taking a break was adding more decorations to my yard and buying rugs for the interior. I have 100K Gil and I doubt I will have enough for a house when the new wards come. I'm sure by the time I do, they will be gone. I was only able to afford a house by selling every single quest reward / materia I got my hands on, and this took a lot of time for me.
