Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

[Akira_Tenshi]

So due to me going on holiday this month money is tight and I decided I would take a break from FF for a short time plus there's little for me left to do in game. I am not aloud to do this though without losing my house that I have invested millions of Gil into.

Squares inability to provide enough housing is not my fault why am I being punished and pressured into paying every month? I actually entered my house a couple of weeks ago and am now getting a 10 day notice!?

Players should be allowed to take a break from the game without having to worry about losing things they have worked for in game due to squares own failings. I now have no choice but to pay for the game when I'm not even going to be around to play it. Thanks Square.

I understand why this system is in place but I do not think it is fair. It basically traps players into paying their subscription every single month. There is a life outside of FF and I don't deserve to lose my house for wanting to take a break.

You don't wanna pay? There's other people who would pay to have your house. In a world where housing is limited, there is no such thing as fair or unfair for you. As much as I hate the word, entitlement is what I smell from this post.

I'm sorry that money is tight though but the reality is the reality.

Edit: I'm saying this as someone who owns a house.

I dunno.. if I have a buddy of mine deploy. It'd be nice if his stuff remained intact when he came back. In that case the absence is pretty much ensuring we all get to keep our housing in this game. I'm certain with recent events that our Japanese counterparts would likely agree with this as well.

The best thing to do is to open more districts as they fill. Limiting it to 2100 where a server likely has nearly 10x that, is not a good system. Especially since Free Companies share the same spots.

Unfortunately the current system won't allow that. They'd need to make instanced housing that isn't tied to wards.

I totally agree that instanced housing should be added to what currently exists. Apartments were a step in the right direction, at the least giving people access to the housing wards. Sadly, the implementation relative to the actual apartment design could have been a lot more than simply a clone of a FC room in my opinion.

Oddly enough one doesn't have to enter an apartment to keep it. One doesn't even have to pay a sub.

There are also a LOT more apartments that houses, since they are essentially FC rooms.

I agree with the idea that there needs to be more housing (instanced or not), because I dislike how limited it is. I can afford a medium plot right now, but can't get one since all the wards are full on my server. However, there's a difference between the apartments/FC rooms and personal/FC housing. The apartments/FC rooms are not in such limited supply like housing plots are, so they really can't be used as a decent comparison. Apples to oranges.

People aren't sprinting towards empty apartments the day after release like they were when Wards 9-12 were added. I'm honestly very underwhelmed when it comes to the apartments. 500k for an independent FC room. They could have at least made them a little bigger. :/

In a world where housing is limited, ...

But that "if" negates your argument. What the OP was complaining about as unfair is the very fact that housing is limited. Why, in a game that we're all playing, and have all paid for, can only a few of us get housing? Unlimited housing would be far more fair to everyone, and is well within SE's capabilities, but they chose not to offer it.

Given that it is limited, yes, the reclamations are unavoidable. But that doesn't excuse SE for the decision to limit it in the first place.

The reality is people don't feel sorry for the OP because they want their house. It really is an unfair system. But hey if people do think this is fair than maybe we should start taking relic weapons away from people who invested time and effort into them for taking breaks as well. Oh right. That doesn't count because it's not limited~

We have a FC house and thats more than enough. And no i don't feel sorry if someone who doesn't pay his sub loses his house because he is NOT paying his sub, easy as pie. And comparing housing and relic is a joke in general...
