In reguards to SE's decision on halting automatic reclamation of housing......

[DarkStaoneDragon]

I like the post that was made about the people effected by the earthquakes, I think it would be nice if it was abolished altogether, the pose can be found here, it has been just over a month ago and my Wife and I lost out house due to a tornado, but I was opposed to the idea of the whole "automatic reclamation of housing" thing when it was announced, but if it wasn't for being at my in-laws place we would have lost our houses like 2-3 weeks ago, it was good to see we still have our houses in Eorzea since our real one was turned upside down and destroyed.

Always felt that a paying subscription should be enough to keep a house and the the idea of actually having to enter the house wasn't fair given some real life issues do affect people from loading the game.

House reclamation is still here, I think it could use a few more beatings.

Of course it still around that why I said that it been beaten quite a few times already without SE even batting an eye at it but ok continue on.

You should always voice out your disdain for things otherwise you let things continue, submission is never the answer.

I do think our subscriptions should be more than enough for our houses to be kept as long as they implemented house limiting factors like 1 per data center account or something along those lines to prevent hoarding.

At this point reclamation is the only fully "legal" way of selling back your property and getting back some of your investment. If the devs won't allow for us to sell to individuals, they really should give us the option to sell back to the game rather than making us wait for the reclamation process.

I agree that SE needs to add a way to get a % of what you paid for your house when relinquishing land, but selling to other players? no, you'd have people buying multiple plots of land on alt characters/accounts and resale them at 300% the price they paid for it, thats what SE wants to avoid iirc.

I couldn't agree more, I think 1 per server, I.E. I have characters on Coeurl and Zalera as well as others but I think if someone had characters on those servers they both could get a house if they meet the requirements but only 1 per server.

Recently, a friend of mine lost their personal house to inactivity because of real life stuff, the main annoyance about it was that I was a tennant of their house and made sure to go into the house and even occasionally use it.

Same here, except the owner of the house was actually helping me keep the plants watered and fertilized outside. He never went in the house because there was nothing important for him inside. He was out of town the week that the reclamation warning came, and didn't have access to his computer. I couldn't afford to buy the lot when it went up for sale, so I literally just had to wave goodbye to it. Sure, it was his fault for not going inside, but he was definitely using the house for cheap teleports and gardening. Pretty sure he even put furniture on the lawn during the "inactivity" cycle.
