Turn Housing Demolition on

[Jojoya]

I really am open to other opinions. Acting oblivious is just something I don't take kindly to. I'm also free to disagree with other peoples' opinions, which I have not been shy about. And I address every single point I can in the process. I acknowledge what others are saying. I just don't agree.

Except you're not open when you call others obtuse and state they're wrong. The only one being oblivious here is you.

Not everyone wants what you want. No one is saying that you specifically should be happy with just an apartment.

We're saying the player base needs to stop being so negative about apartments in general. They are not that bad. You can make multiple rooms in an apartment without leaving it feeling cramped and crowded. You get free access to chocobo stable, mailbox and teleport that would require the purchase of extra items to have with a house. You can garden as long as you're not trying to intercross for new seeds. The lack of demolition is a major perk for those who want to unsub for extended periods of time.

With the number of houses limited and SE highly unlikely to surprise us with a fix to the house supply problem, does it not make more sense to encourage players to use apartments if they're not going to be using the house only features? Moving part of the demand to apartments increases the supply for those who specifically want a house for the 3 extra features that apartments lack (workshops being irrelevant since that's FC only).

The neighborhood feel.

I think people will definitely maintain subscription if they can basically make other people look at their house and show off.

Like the guys who stand with their glowy weapons in limsa all day, they can't be doing content.. i never see them move. But that sub is still active for them to stand there.

I get more of a neighborhood feeling outside of the apartment building with the apartments for my alts than I do at my house. At least at the apartment building I'll run into more players in a week than I'll see pass by my house in an entire year.

A neighborhood is people, not buildings. Put together a bunch of buildings with no one else present and you have a ghost town.

Apartments can be shown off just as much as houses if the owner wants, not that there are that many players that care about showing off. They simply want a space to call their own and decorate as they want without having other players gatekeep their access (which is what happens with FC houses).
