Housing demolition timer need to be changed! Sitting on your property needs to count.

So much whiteknighting going on in this thread. Imo, if you pay a subscription, there should be no auto-demolition going on.

This, as long the subscription is active no one should have to worry.

Still, is OP faults. Everyone is under the same rules.

Then you're being unfair to active players who can't get a house because some person who hasn't logged in for 6 months is sitting on their house. The housing situation altogether in FFXIV is a bit of a mess due to the lack of real instanced housing. The policy in place right now is the only way to keep things fair in the current system. And it's not white knighting to call someone out for logging on every day but not stepping foot inside their own house for 45 days. People know the restrictions. Its talked about constantly on the forums and in game. Emails are sent. It's their own fault for losing their house at that point.

The rules are good, because those who buy a house and ignore it will actually lose it.
Why should somebody with lack of interest of his house have it? There is a lacking of housing plots, let people who want to play with it, have it.

100% agreed!

I took a 1 year break from the game. And i had to log into the game once a month to reset the demolition timer. Sure it can be annoying but if you want your house then actually use it, If not it's better used for someone else that wants it. If you were actively playing for 45 days and not stepping foot in your house. What's the point with it then. That's just me

Since this keeps coming up i will answer. My house was in a key location i like the outside more then inside. SO that is where i chilled. Nothing wrong with that. No penalty should be applied to a paying playing player for that. It needs to be fixed or people will continue to unsub.

Taking houses away from subscribed players who actively play the game is not the main reason for auto demolish. Its purpose is to recycle houses from unsubscribed players so that wards don't end up dead. I agree with the op on that a pop up in game would not be hard to implement and could mean a lot to whoever has not kept up with the news even though they are subscribed.

There is always someone who will use a house more than you so no one here is qualified to say the op doesn't deserve a house. Housing has never been distributed based on how it will be used.

This is one of the things about housing that does not need a fix. You messed up. You knew the rules and you didn't follow them. Nothing needs to be fixed just because you're not capable of doing a simple task once every 45 days. Please make your "union", I truly wish to see how many people this affects.

It's not "whiteknighting" to disagree with you. Are you even aware of what "whiteknighting" means? It means to defend someone without any valid logic or reason. That does not apply to this case. Many, many people have cited the very valid reasons why a 45 day abandonment policy is not only fair, but justified. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a valid and reasonable policy.

tl;dr:
- I got my housing demolished because I were ignorant of the rules;
- I vent on forum my frustration;
- I want change the rules to my liking.

I could care less about housing but it kinda makes me laugh how many people sit here and attack OP for what happened but if the shoe was on the other foot and it happened to you.
you'd be right in the forums angry yourselves don't pretend you wouldn't be.

this goes even for the players who don't have a house who want one because if you were able to obtain a house and lost it in the same way I betcha 100% you'd be doing what OP is doing now heh.
