It's time to reinstate Housing Auto-Demolitions

[Ibkee]

Wow really? You want to claim you're "suffering" for not having a house in FF14 compared to people who don't have power or other basic utilities because of extensive infrastructure damage? Yes, flippers suck. Yes the housing situation in the game sucks, but get some perspective.

er...what? Nobody is claiming any kind of equivalency here.

The original reason for the exceptional event of temporarily halting auto-demolitions was the effects of Irma causing a significant part of the Final Fantasy XIV playerbase to be unable to play Final Fantasy XIV, thus risking losing their homes due to things beyond their control. This is demonstrably no longer the case. Why should this be any more reason to pause auto-demolitions than any other?

Let me put it like this: if Irma had only effected Puerto Rico, do you think they would have suspended housing demolitions at all?

You are not losing anything by not having a house.

This is bullshit and has been debunked on these forums ad nauseam.

They just want another house, their large FC house isnt enough i mean come on! Who cares if most of Puerto Rico still doesnt have power!

The demolition was paused for the North American region and the US is definitely not the only thing that exists here. As a very real current example, I'm pretty sure Puerto Rico is still shredded and suffering from no electricity and other troubles.

I can gaurantee you that is the case as this is where I live and I have been without electricity for over 2 months. Im basically using the internet at work and living off a generator that consumes gas like a bad habit while I wait for some resemblance of normality over here and Im sure that there are hundreds and/or thousands of other players that can attest to that.

Puerto Rico has been without power for 68 days.

I say it's not time to reinstate housing auto demolitions

68 days and counting thank you! But has OP bothered to look into that? Nooooo

Im glad they havent reinsated the housing demolition yet

At least, I dont want them to reinstate it til after January. I mean give us a break were screwed up over here!

[HiroesX81]

Why should the majority of players suffer because of an impact to a potential handful from Puerto Rico? When Irma happened it was exceptional, but now the fallout is no different than in any country any day.

Further, I'd argue the situation has changed since then and the housing crisis of 4.1, coupled with spiralling black market costs, should be a good reason to reward people who actually play the game with a chance to own a house. For this reason the system was conceived in the first place.

Are you for real? Go look up what were going through over here before you say that! HANDFUL!??!

1. Nobody ever said anything about FC houses not being "enough".
2. Clearly however, for most people, FC houses aren't enough and this is evidenced by the housing u-turn arriving in 4.2
3. How many other MMOs have affected service for their users for the sake of a minority of players from Puerto Rico?
4. Should this, in your opinion, extend to other countries where the users are unable to access Final Fantasy XIV?
5. Should this also affect other areas in the game, stunting development/progress and not releasing content, for example?

I live in a country currently at war. I'm sorry for your lack of electricity, but you have yet to demonstrate why housing demolitions should continue to be suspended on your behalf alone.

The only bullshit I see here is what youre spouting. For your information Irma DID affect Puerto Rico even if it wasnt as large scale because the one AFTER that really affected us!


Reinstate housinjg demolition?

PLEASE NO! AT least not til January!

Yo man you're being super unreasonable. It's just electricity. I mean, humans have lived without electricity before right. Just go out into the wild and hunt or something, ok?? geez

Can't you tell they're suffering? Get your priorities straight please.
