Maybe one day with more plots they gonna do smth, but as long we are all so limited with plots I doubt they gonna do some changes )=

In time things can change. Looking forward to it. !-_-!

I have to agree with people here... If you refused to use the house then why get so salty over it? If you just felt like AFKing on the lawn why not on the lawn outside your FC? If you have a friend with a house just AFK on their lawn. Hell, be made a tenant and then you can enjoy all the perks of a house minus needing to go inside. Clearly yoy weren't using it so why the fuss? While I wholly agree the demolition system is flawed and horrible you knew about it a long time ago. What annoys me personally are those who just want a place just for the sake of wanting one but never using it. I use my house everytime I log on. Whenever I craft, check my retainers, garden, or just to tweak around with the layout and furniture. If I decide to AFK or nap I do so INSIDE my house.

If you refused to use the house then why get so salty over it? Stating what can be improved on is that salt? My post is 100% solution related.

If you just felt like AFKing on the lawn why not on the lawn outside your FC? Nothing i said had anything to do with AFK'ing it was about queuing up. Even if i did it should not matter is the point. Based on the improvements i provided.

Clearly yoy weren't using it so why the fuss? using the house by being on it's property and playing the game? No fuss needed in that.

What annoys me personally are those who just want a place just for the sake of wanting one but never using it. (Clearly you have personal issue) So moving on.

(Clearly you have personal issue)

You're the one who started a thread on a public forum, purely so people would agree with you......

agree or not, the post needed to be stated and is good for the community to comment as they have done. Now as we continue to comment it is up to SE to decide what actions to take.

False, you did not need to insult someone for the "good of the community".

So the OP owned a house but didn’t step into it once in 45 days despite logging in every day, and is now mad that he lost the house?

You could have done things like retainers/orchestrions/armoire at your personal house instead of your FC house, OP. That is also an option. Despite my dissatisfactions with the housing system, I’m hard pressed to really feel sympathy for you.

I googled it and they use their own engine crystal tools, which gave them a lot of problems with 13 apparently. I have no idea if that would even effect housing Im basically wondering about these things and cant find any real information about why they cant so Im looking through reasons I can think of. Queue is taking forever so I have time right now.

Not sure if anyone clarified this (I haven’t finished reading through the entire thread), but Crystal Tools was used only for 1.0 (which is another reason why it had so many problems). Crystal Tools apparently worked really well for XIII despite it being a bit dated for it, but it did not translate well into an MMO environment since it was made for single-player console games.

FFXIV now uses the Luminous Engine for its coding. That said, there are remnants of 1.0 coding still around (according to the developers) that may make Housing harder to code if there’s a lot of spaghetti floating around in its coding, but they no longer use Crystal Tools as the main engine.

I really don’t feel sympathy for you, OP. You knew about the timer. Considering you’re on balmung and if I were in your shoes, I would’ve been extra cautious to do what I needed to do to keep my house. Shoot, I’m on a lower populated server, and because I got my dream plot, I’m constantly paranoid about losing my house, even though I’m on and in my house every day. I make it a point to go inside at LEAST once a day, even if I’m only on for a few minutes (you never know with the rumors going around about the timer glitch being back).

The system needs to be fixed, but not by what you are suggesting. People don’t need even MORE notifications to warn them their house is getting demolished. You can que inside your home, you don’t need to be outside for that. You should be checking your stuff from YOUR house rather than the fc house if you “lose track of time” for your own plot.

If you truly cared about keeping your plot, you wouldn't need notifications to remind you to go inside. It’s YOUR responsibility. Not SEs to constantly remind you. You want it? You do what needs to be done to keep it.
