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

[loreleidiangelo]

Well documented stupidity isn't any less stupid.

Basically. The entire housing system is bunk in this game yet players celebrate active subscribers losing out because they feel like the system is somehow personally meting out justice to those they think are unworthy lol. I think if you stay subscribed, you should keep your house. Someone subscribed is just as invested in the game as you are, no need to force them to babysit their property just so they don't lose it to someone else who will likely never do anything with it either after the initial hype/decorating period has worn off.

I still can't believe after like 3 expansions the devs have done arse-all to fix housing and we're still stuck with Ultima Online levels of ancient housing management.

I wouldn't have my house today if not for the demolition timer. My house if the most important thing to me, the point that I subscribed an entire year because I don't want to give it up. I log out every game in my bedroom and craft most everything in my house. I even personally craft almost 90% of everything in my house, a project which took me a month to complete. If you have to "babysit" your house, it really sounds like you don't even want it. If the house is a burden, let your house be given to someone like me, who will enjoy it thoroughly.

Ahhhhhh, right on time, the morally righteous "you don't deserve your house" crowd is here. Which is funny since, if you'd bothered to read my post, you'd see that I think everyone deserves houses, not just a select few.

I never said "you don't deserve your house". But if players are at the point that they are going to complain about being forced to go into their own homes then why not let someone else have a house?

force them to babysit their property

You make it sound like such a burden. Well, you can always ease your burdens by letting someone else own a home. It's win-win.

First: This post is meant for only people that had this happen to them.
Second: I pay for subs.
Third: I enjoyed my house and queuing from outside for pvp, doing tournaments, ranking top 100. I do not feel this deserves loss of house. You stated its a burden, I did not. It is not. I normally would enter house, just lost track on time and that fact that the timer stuff started again, I was busying enjoying the game from my house outside to notice. Because I care. I provided some change options:

3 ways to fix this is:

1) Allow being on the outside on your property to count for all who log on and pay subs. Which i did often to que for PVP matches.

2) Provide a Pop up warning when you log into game showing clearly that you are going to loose your land if not enter house click here to confirm notice. This is do to FFXIV housing rules just starting again. thx!

3) Convert to instance housing for all that can never be demolished by a timer. As promised in the past!

Look man, we're all sorry you lost your house... But if you can't be bothered to sit through one load screen every month in order to keep it, that's on you.

You keep bringing up PvP. What does you enjoying PvP have to do with housing? It doesn't matter where you queue into PvP. PvP and housing are two completely separate unrelated things. If you are playing constantly, seriously how hard can it be for you to enter your house to stop the demolition timer? You didn't do it so it doesn't look like you really cared all that much.

Also, I know this is a few days old but...

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.

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* *wheeze *snort* *cough* cough* cough* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ah the good ol' "if this doesn't get changed, I'm gonna unsub!" threat/argument. Yet these people never seem to actually unsub. This was such a stupid statement I couldn't help it. FF14 subs are at an all time high and housing is only a small part of the game most players don't get into anyway. Threatening to unsub over this? BBBYYYYYEEEEEE!!!! DON'T COME BACK!!! I think SE can survive without those threatening to unsub over this.
