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

See... I keep reading that they have no way to register you are on your own property, yet people cant come onto your property and use things like the fountains and lights. So somewhere the game has to realise who have rights to be there and who dosent right? Or am i wrong here...

As far as I can recall, the only interactive outdoor items are mailboxes, message stands, chocobo stables, and gardens. I don’t recall any fountains or light fixtures that can be placed outside that are interactive. Anyone can come and water your plants (they can’t harvest your plants, but they can tend to them) and access your message book—but these people do not reset timers of any kind (not even tenants with permissions in personal houses reset the demolition timer—only the owner can).

People cannot interact with a chocobo stable unless they’re a tenant or an FC member with the appropriate privileges, and all FC members and tenants can interact with a mailbox. The same restrictions apply to indoor fixtures—FC members have to have appropriate permissions to interact with housing items (last I checked), and only tenants can interact with interactive indoor furnishings should they be given permission to mess around with them. Random players cannot.


The OP’s argument is to have idling within the yard be enough—meaning they wouldn’t be interacting with the plot via fixtures or gardens. If something like interacting with a garden or a chocobo stable reset the timer, fine. But I still think an easier solution to not losing your house would be to actually go into and utilize the house itself. You only have to step inside for 5 seconds once every 45 days to keep it.

If this happened to you, would you sit there and be happy?

For me, it wouldn’t happen. Because I go into my house every day.
