Pinned Free Company house port keeps unpinning

[Davron_Platinum]

Basically what the title says. Twice now in less than a week the pinned teleport to my FC house in my port history has been removed, and both while I was offline. I asked in the FF14-centric Discord server The Balance and someone suggested that it could've been someone moving the aetheryte shard but no one has been online since I logged off yesterday and I even asked both of the people in my small FC as to whether or not they did move the aetheryte, both claimed no. I'm thinking this is a bug but Idk how it might be reproduced, like I said, both times it has happened while I was offline, and not on a different character, game closed and me sleeping. I also do not think this is a hacking attempt as that is the only thing that is changed, none of the other pinned destinations have changed, it's only been the FC house, and only since 6.41 released.

How DO you pin one in history?

[Davron_Platinum]

right-click from any other list and click on save to history

Edit: It seems that traveling to another world is removing the pin. Why? I can understand that I can't use FC stuff while on another server but why is the pin for my FC house being removed? What's the point in allowing us to pin our FC houses, or maybe even our own houses(I don't have a personal house), if they are going to be removed when traveling to a different server? Dim it out instead, and use an error/warning telling the player they can't travel to THEIR house because they are on a different server than their home one. SE made a point to do that for retainers so it seems similar code is already in the game. Instead SE thought "no, I'll let people be confused as to why something little is happening and at the same time either blame FC members/friends or wonder if their account has been compromised." 11 years I've been playing this game, ever since 2.0 was released, and not once did anyone think to change this. Well, now that someone has brought this matter to some attention, can we please get it rectified? Either a dedicated teleport button for houses or stop removing the pin under ANY circumstance along with a warning that you are not on your home server if that be the case.

Ah, now THAT is something easy to answer.

It's because they have to make you into a nonbeing when you visit other worlds. If they left FC access, you'd actually end up with that level of access to somebody ELSE"S FC.
You could make a character on one server, and use it to do things to another person's FC on another server, because of how things are setup.

So once you leave your world, you not only can't access them, you DON"T HAVE THEM. So there is no "FC" to go to, so it falls out of the list.

The amount of access that is based on strict name matches, that don't care about worlds you are from, that dates back to 1.0 stuff... is huge.

Right, I get that. It would be bad if someone from a different server could access stuff from other FCs. What I'm talking about is they have a restriction on using your retainers on non-home servers, I presume it's along the same lines that someone on that server could have a retainer with the exact same name, I wouldn't want someone to take my items or gil, but why not include the FC house teleport in that? I'm not a coder so I only have a vague idea as to how hard this could be to implement, but there have been other, more significant quality of life changes in the past that I can only assume were a lot harder to accomplish than this one thing, and were completed. I just feel it's counterintuitive to allow us to pin the FC house port but you then HAVE to stay on your home server at all times lest you lose that pin. Also, like I had mentioned in my earlier post, I minorly accused a couple of my FC mates of moving the aetheryte crystal but not before a quick thought that maybe my account had been hacked(though just unpinning one port quickly dismissed that idea). Not that any of it was bad, but the fix I am suggesting could help others that may have had that confusion, or new players in preventing that confusion. The code, or at least most of it, seems to be there, just apply it to the FC teleport as well please. Hundreds of changes have happened, hundreds more will, let's add this to the pile.

They DO.
That's why you lose the teleport when your not on your home world.
That's why it falls out of the list.
You can't pin what does not exist.
