Observations and suggestion for impeding bots grabbing FC plots

[AlexiaD]

The person you're speaking to maintains an untold number of paid service accounts (enough that they rely on spreadsheets to keep track of all of their houses) for the sole purpose of owning as many houses as possible. I don't think she's referring to most people when she says that the demo system is how SE makes money. The demo system ensures that people like her who have many houses to their names must continue to pay for each account in order to maintain ownership of these plots. If the demo system were done away with, they would not need to continue paying for those accounts, and could simply give tenancy for each home to their main.

I'm sorry do you and I know each other for you to assume why I do things ? Are we friends ? Did we ever talk in person about what I do and why I do it ? If you want to have that conversation I'll gladly meet up with you in game and we can talk about it.

But until then, I dont think so, so I'd like it if you could keep your own opinions to yourself in regards to why I do things at the very least, thank you. You are free to talk about the fact I have many houses obviously, but you saying why I do it is literally you assuming and I dont find that very fair, thanks.

And yes the way SE does the auto demo system is for making money, even for people on 1 subscription, they still cant unsubscribe.

Have you considered that your view might be heavily biased since you are willing to pay several subs for the sake of housing and surround yourself with people who do similar? If this game really only held people by the houses they have, it wouldn’t get the praise it gets.

I am speaking strictly from a housing perspective that auto demolition is made for people to keep their subscription up, you take months if not years to get a large or a medium, you dont want to lose it, so even if you stop playing for a while you'll keep your subscription up, it's just logical, what if you take a break for 2 months and then come back and have to fight for another large again for months ? I can tell you most people wont do that. There is a good reason why so many houses are empty or have their owner as inactive, a lot of house owners be it single house or multi house are playing other games and some even quit FFXIV all together and are just keeping their house for when they decide to come back.

The idea that you have to fight years to even get a large house is ridiculous to begin with. But as I said before. If they can turn it off for two years for everyone, it doesn’t make such a difference in square quarterly income as you’d like to believe. They can drop the system and it won’t make them a difference

Everything I've said here alludes to your own statements floating around on these forums, but sure, I'll own it if I misconstrued anything in translation. I'm happy to talk if you'd like, I'm not available today but send a moogle mail to Eloy Impia and we can arrange something.
