    Common misconceptions

    "The Inactivity Timer is meant to stop people owning several plots"
    Wrong, but only by a technicality standpoint. The Inactivity timer was not meant to discourage or punish / penalize people having multiple plots. Just ensuring that they need to enter every plot once every month to maintain ownership. The timer itself originally was to ensure that, regardless of the player fluctuation, That there would still be availability On top of that, players that own multiple plots are from before the housing rework. Meaning they got those houses legitimately and played by the rules and systems they had at the time. SE can't do anything about it, as it would be deemed unfair for them to rip the houses the players earned away from them. No exceptions.

    "The Inactivity timer is meant to stop overcrowding"
    That's OUR fault, not SEs. They've tried time and time again to get us to spread out and, frankly, we just spit in their face. Nothing much can be done when people are stubborn.

    "Housing is for everyone"
    Also wrong. While yes, everyone deserves the right to have a go at housing, not everyone is going to GET a housing plot. The Housing Plots need to remain a finite resource in order to keep a demand. If everyone could get one, then there goes a major gil-sink for the game. It's doing its job. What people seem to enjoy ignoring is the apartments out there for people to own a house.

    And before anyone says "Apartments aren't houses" or they're not proper instanced housing? Stop being picky. Yeah, you may not get every system with an apartment, but apartments don't auto-demo, they're permanent and about 3/4 the size of a Small (interior at least). For the price you're asked for its purchase, it's a pretty great deal. For everything else, just join an FC and get permissions to grow / water plants. Boom. There you go. All of the systems at your disposal.
