Please Remove the Inactivity Timer

[An0nn]

I'm confused. You said a few posts back I agree with the removal of auto demolition for inactivity

You are either for or you're not.

I took that first post as more of a tongue-in-cheek response pointing out that the op almost certainly got their house thanks to the inactivity timer and is now trying to have it removed to prevent themselves from losing the house to inactivity in the same way the person who originally owned it might have. To me, both of hasana's posts seemed to be in favor of the inactivity timer.

These days available houses are rare. I know on my server the only time you see a plot open it’s because either a) someone relinquished or b) the inactivity timer (guessing this is more common). After a plot opens you might see some shuffling around as people relocate, but the thing that’s probably going to kick the whole thing off is the inactivity timer.

I got my house ... a beautiful small on plot 47 of the Lavender Beds. I checked multiple times a day for that plot hoping one would open up someday.

Maybe I'm veering into off-topic territory here, but congrats! Plot 47 in Lavender beds is tied with Mist’s 49 for my favorite small in the game.

There is this M house at Gridania that is next to my old fc house, the FC it belongs to has like 5 members and in 2-3 years i never saw someone. Its open but inside is basically just a chest and thats it. EMPTY. For years. No, such ppl should not keep it, though im pretty sure they do shady stuff there lol

Imo the timer is too short, like, why should i stay subbed till 5.2 if im done with everything i can? ther needs to be a line between making a vacation from the game and leaving for a year lol


-Imagine you fly into vacation and your house is torn down and a new one build? lol

How do you know they aren't using the workshop?

That's one of the big drawbacks with the system, at least for FCs. They can only have a workshop if they own a house, even if they don't care about having a house as a meeting place for members.

SE would have been smarter to attach the workshop to the affiliated Grand Company headquarters and not to housing. Housing districts don't even have an airship landing. The city-states do.

Solid disagree with OP. If you are never using the plot, you don't need it. Sadly plots are limited and thats not gonna change. They should go to people who will use them.

Otherwise most plots would eventually be used by players who only play a few weeks after each patch.
