Auto-demolish

[Laerune]

Untill housing is an option for every player, I fear auto-demolish is a necessary evil. When SE fixes housing and gives everyone the option to get one, then I think auto-demolish needs to go, but untill then it has to stay or else we will have inactive players who own a house, but not use them.

This.

It's already bad enough that a lot of players only have a house for the sake of having a house. At least the demolition feature frees up some space every now and then. I'd definitely like to see more wards and houses added over time, though. With a larger focus on providing more medium/large houses ideally.

SE gets sub. vendor sub, soon, mobile phone sub.
A cash shop with more than 600 dollars of stuff...

It is not "autodemolition time they give house to everyone" we should request but

"Stop spending FFXIV money in other project, and give what FFXIV needs" is what we need to request

I don't understand what you traying to say?
Sure XIV didn't start great but it did start with Experience MMO Creator (XI) but they fail then Yoshi and his delicate team had to fix they mess... Trust me notone in the history of MMO has show more dedication to his game/community then Yohsi&Team... But even they EXP is limited like any men...
Btw XIV is not a sort of spin off in SE Eye, they been treating XIV as main dish for a while now. .-.

No, what I mean is that XIV is a side project to SE. See what they all deployed for FF XV? Yeah XIV got maybe.... 20%? 30%? at best and it shows. SE still doesn't believe the game can be a huge success so they don't invest the ressources and don't recruit the talent needed for this to go to the next level. It's a side project in the scope of things and is being treated as such by the big wigs.

I agree with this. And I think the mindset and treatment comes from how huge of a failure 1.0 was. I feel like SE probably thinks there's no point in investing a ton of resources in a newer version of the game that single-handedly almost destroyed the Final Fantasy name, and, as a result of their behavior, it's very likely they'll set themselves up for a "self-fulfilling prophecy", in which the game doesn't reach anywhere near its potential because they won't let it/invest the resources in it. And it will come off as subpar in their eyes as a result, just like they initially believed.

This is all speculation though, of course.

And this game has so much untapped potential. It would be amazing if they devoted the talent and resources to it. Could you imagine if they were able to take their biggest failure and turn it into their biggest success? That would be incredible and would be something that would not only go down in gaming history but be a major boon to the franchise and company as a whole. And frankly they need it.

SE also suffers from too much upper level control. Yoshi can say he's a gamer all he wants but really he's just a suit in some jingly bangles. The FF series was never better than when people who loved games and gaming had more control. But now that people see those dollar signs, those business guys are coming in, who have no idea what makes a good game, and just trying to make a quick buck. This is something a lot of companies are suffering from right now and it stinks. I don't think that these people understand gamers are different from your average consumer.

Show us your good and you get our loyalty, put out half finished content that no one bothered to play with dev mode shut off and then tell them its just throw away content that was never meant to last more than a month anyway and that's a great way to shoot yourself in the foot.

The biggest problem as well is the community to be fair. They expect so much and are so vocal about minor systems in the grand scope of things that it makes it difficult for positive feedback to reach the higher ups and change their mindset. Look at the new glamour revision. It's a first step, Yoshi admitted it's a first step. People still complain WHILE IT'S NOT EVEN PATCHED IN YET. That sends the wrong signal to the decision makers and ends up shooting us in the foot. This doesn't mean don't complain but realize they basically made something out of very little.

Honestly, the only real complaint I have about the new glamour system is that I really hope they don't call it a Glamour Commode. Just because "commode" means toilet in my dialect. Other than that, I usually just wait and see before I judge. I can tell they put a lot of work into it; hopefully it will be something I make a lot of use of.

TLDR - Auto demolition is a good thing, if you say its not, you are wrong. Thats all there is to it.

I dont even think the auto demolition should have been halted because of those disasters (im sure people in that situation have alot more to worry about than a virtual house) but yoshi and team decided to be kind enough to do it, so thats that.


If you dont play the game for a month or two, you dont need a house. Fact.

What they should do is maybe, set the timer for auto demolish if the person account is unsubbed.
I think that might be better.
