Auto-demolition needs to be re-enabled immediately.

I am just offering an explanation, as I said I don't think it is time for taking it off, as we are having a world problem, this is not just some trend with what is going on you can follow for two months then forget all about it because it is not interesting anymore, it certainly is a problem out there in the world right now and everyone know someone who is having a harder time.

It is not SE that is holding you as hostage, but some aggressor who does terrorism and prefer to hit civilian important infrastructure in an attempt to commence a silent genocide.

It's not asinine. It's a refreshing demonstration of human compassion that is so rarely seen in business.

Want a house? Go get one. They're out there for NA players right now.

So every time OPEC decides to slow oil production, a video game should alter their policies?

The Russo-Ukraine War is a disaster but it is not a worldwide disaster. It is terrible, there's no doubt about that. But it has nothing to do with a video game.

as a house owner i dont think auto demo should ever come back, its a pretty un-immersive system.

I suspect you don't understand how far reaching the effects have been outside of just the Ukraine.

Why did prices of our wheat and flour based products shoot up over the summer? Because the surplus wheat US farmers grow helping to keep domestic prices low was being sent overseas to replace the wheat no longer being grown in the Ukraine, which was a major exporter to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Why has the semi-conductor shortage been prolonged? Because the Ukraine produced 70% of the world's neon, vital to semi-conductor production, and those plants stopped operating because of the war.

There are of course other things the Ukraine was producing that are no longer being produced, forcing manufacturers to seek alternate sources. Most of the impact of the latter is felt regionally but the two specific ones mentioned have had a global impact. Disrupted supply chains lead to disrupted lives as companies go out of business or have to downsize, laying off workers. Prices on popular consumer goods rise, making it harder for those already on tight budgets.

You may not see a direct impact for yourself (though you have been affected whether you think so or not) but others are. FFXIV is a game where people are allowed to play globally, not just in their home region. SE has a far better idea which regions players are from and are playing in than any of us do.

There's no need to resume auto-demolition at this time when houses are available in game for those who want them. I understand the "I shouldn't have to move" arguments and agree with most of them. But auto-demolition also isn't going to open up the huge number of plots that some assume.

If SE did it, what will the new complaint be when it doesn't have the desired effect?

Maybe you are not affected, you yourself but you are... the prices is going up on alot of things, general consumer things worldwide due to increased demand in quite a few things, maybe your country run on its own oil reserves that has been stockpiled of the likes, but when they start to run out, you will see a price hike many would not like.

You need to see everything very much out of the box.

It has to do with everything as this hurts peoples personal economies to an extend many is having problems to pay heating and power bills, as well as when you got a few big players out of the game in the big field the price on things go nuts all the way around.. it may even affect SE.. for both server parts and paying power bills as well to be running their servers.

All I can recommend you to do, if you lack of an understanding, is to start looking things up and remember to fact checks while doing such, as there is many sources as well that build on propaganda and fakenews.

You do know what unsubbed means right?

Those are all great points. I never said I'm not affected by it. But it still has nothing to do with a video game.

There will always be excuses to turn off auto-demolition if we talk about any event that is happening around the globe.

Remember that snarl in the Suez Canal in early 2021? That had global effects. If it isn't one thing, it'll just be something else. We've had a global climate crisis for decades. But sometimes auto-demolition is on. Sometimes it is off. Again - nothing to do with a video game.

It's coming back in 6.3

Seems like SE has moved on from the notion that the Russo-Ukraine crisis should be a worldwide reason to set fake real estate policy in a video game.

I think when the policy was made at the time, people believed (and alot of us did) that it would be a short brutal affair in Eastern Europe, when it became obvious this would be a long term conflict the policy became unfeasible.

I applaud Square Enix for trying to help in some way, but I never thought it was feasibly gonna work when it became clear the conflict in Eastern Europe was going to be long term.
