Why the housing system makes people quit and possibly not come back

[PassinLay]

The auto demolition was added because you'd have dead free companies where the last person who was set as FC leader logged on 350 days ago and was a level 38 lancer that didn't even have a job stone equipped. So I don't have a problem with the concept of auto demolition.

But.

1. It should have been set to a MUCH longer period of time, at least 3-4 months for free companies, and like a year for personal houses
2. This would mean they didn't need to turn off the auto demolition every time a natural disaster happened, for that matter

The current 45 day limit sounds like exactly the sort of genius idea dreamed up by an actuary trying to "drive customer engagement" and not a customer server minded designer trying to solve the problem.

It forces people to stay subscribed so thats a problem by itself especially with the lack of content in the game, that's why adaptable wards that auto create based on demand (for smalls at the very least) are a good idea. At least people can stay subscribed if they want to, but are also able to get a small at the very least when/if they come back
