Hell with waiting for people who couldn't have been bothered to take 5 minutes out of their day to reset the timer back to 45 days. /slowclap


You know what would be really nice for some people who lost their houses/pets/belongings/loved ones in huge storms and fires? Coming back to the one thing they enjoy spending time on and not finding that since they DID have to worry about boarding up windows, making sure they had enough food and supplies to survive if they got isolated with no power or water, moving their families to another location and keeping them calm and taken care of that someone has DEMO'D their hard won virtual house they get enjoyment out of.

NOBODY is putting virtual real estate above actual homes, the sentiment here Mr/Mrs/Ms "cold calculating logic" is that these people are all going through hard times and it'd be nice if we took one thing off their minds that really doesn't affect anyone else.

you say the virtual world doesn't matter then suggest they take time out of their disaster preparations to check in and make sure that their virtual obligations are taken care of too, so you're not only insensitive, but counter your own arguments. Some people have walked back to their properties after the storms/fires and found NOTHING left, you really think the first thing they're gonna think of is: "oh better find a computer and an internet connection to go renew my demo timer". It's not: storm over , go home and login. You go back to where your home WAS, and figure out whether you rebuild or relocate.

This isn't "the feels" , this is compassion and doing what little can be done by strangers to make their lives an infinitesimal bit less troublesome.

Your post implies you either have never been through a disaster or are a sociopath. You suggest disaster victims are LAZY, then congratulate yourself for seeing "the truth" with a "/slowclap".
