You're trying to defend players who are literally not even bothering to get a single class to max level and then leaving the game for a whole year straight. It wouldn't mess with people who legitimately care about this game and actually want to continue playing it even if they take a year break. The point is that they'd completely lose their housing at that point anyway, and as long as they weren't holding on to a name like "Naruto Uzumaki" then they'll probably be able to get their name back easily since it was genuinely unique.

On the flip side, if you have a low level alt that you don't play for a year, are you really so attached to them that you are willing to rob other people of their experience when playing the game?
