Remove timer SE

[KadaRemnant]

Your obsession with getting a house in a game is a good indication of how unhealthy you already are.

No one is forced to stand for 24 hours camping a placard.

First, I doubt anyone is actually standing. They're going to be sitting in a chair in front of their PC or console watching Netlix or something else on another monitor or TV. Most are intelligent enough to take breaks to eat, go to the bathroom, etc. even if you aren't.

Second, the timer usually expires well before 24 hours has passed since the plot was relinquished/demolished.

Third, you are not chained to that spot. You're free to leave and do other things then go back later to check to see if it's still available then try your luck again for a few more minutes before going off to do something else again. It is your choice to stay instead of leave. Luck can be on your side with the timer just about to end after you come back as much as it can be against you and you lose a house you were camping for 15 hours for someone who walked up 10 minutes earlier (and who now owns a house even though they didn't camp like you did).

It is your obsession tying you down. Learn to break free of it and engage in behaviors that are healthy. You are your own worst enemy and that is why you are unhealthy.


People agree it's a poor system. It's not an unfair one or an unhealthy one unlike what you want to claim in your obsession.

Now that you no longer want a house, don't you feel better? You've freed yourself of an unhealthy obsessions that you imposed on yourself.

We already have instanced housing that players like you ignore. It's called apartments. You can do quite a bit with them if you give them an honest try. Maybe get one and see for yourself?

It's not an obsession. I just really want a house and i hate to sit and not have fun and with chances that are so low, it might as well be a waste of time. But i hate it more that it force us to sit for hours just for this. You say that SE don't force us but you have no choice to do it if you want one.
And no, i would feel much better and happy with a house that i worked for with gils and put my time. Please, be respectful calling me with an obsession and it is my fault. I'm not the one who put this system. I can step back but i'm not gonna shut my mouth too. I have other games to play as well.

I have a apartment already but it is small and limited, no exterior and no gardening.( my fc uses gardening already and i'd like more to grow at my place). Not sure why you talk to me like this. I'm not gonna sue SE but it shouldn't be allowed.

I just really want a house

Tips for camping:

-Be courteous. If you win a plot, lose a plot, or are joined by another camper please remember not to act cruel or entitled. The other players deserve the same chance you do

-Check city aetherytes every 4-6 hours (when auto demolition comes back, check at the top of every hour exactly, right as it rolls over from --:59)

-from the city aetheryte plaza, choose 'Residential District Aethernet,' check the directory page for all 42 wards and sub-wards, plots for sale show a price in white

-Goblet plots will be abandoned most frequently and camped by the fewest others, conversely, lakefront and beachfront properties are very likely to be taken by relocators

-Use the numpad (with numlock on: 0,0,0,0,4,0) or a controller to target/navigate the placard dialogue rather than the mouse, this avoids 'large mount' griefing

-Go to Party -> Search Info -> and change "Online" to "Busy" to automatically reject all tells and trade offers

-Conventional wisdom says that a plot will not become available until between hour 8 and hour 22 of the timer. So if you see a plot become vacant or know where someone relocated from, return in 8-10 hours with the goal of camping 12-14 hours, rather than camping the full 22. The only benefit of camping the first 8 would be possibly getting the tip on someones old plot when they relo into your camper

+FC specific: give multiple ranks the ability to purchase land for the FC, allowing you to camp multiple plots at one time and/or to camp plots in shifts

This is the best advice I can give a camper. Hopefully something here helps. Aside from this, do everything in your power to log on as servers come up on any new-wards day. Keep in mind that 8-10 hours after servers go live is when the relocated houses will begin opening, so treat that as something of a 'round 2'

Good luck!
