SUGGESTION: In-game Demolition and Reclamation Notifications

[InkstainedGwyn]

You know, I think what bothers me the most about all of the responses in this thread - and regarding the topic itself, I don't have an opinion one way or another - is that everyone is getting so incredibly hostile over a suggested message that will likely never even affect them.

If you're never going to lose your house because you're always checking on it, the pop-up/notification will never, ever affect you. You won't see it. So why are you getting so bent over the request? If it was a "days since entered" notif or whatever that popped up every time you logged in, I could see being bothered, but that's not what this is.

I know what the answers are going to be:

1) "OP should pay more attention"
2) "OP should stop being lazy"
3) "Clearly OP didn't care"
4) "You snooze you lose"
5) "I didn't get one, so you shouldn't either"

None of those reasons affect how anyone else's game plays beyond OP (unless you're coming at it from the viewpoint that "if people don't care about their house in the way I feel they should they should lose it so someone else can have it" and I think that's kind of shady so I'll leave it alone). So, beyond the idea of "I don't need it so you shouldn't either" and "why should life be any easier for others when it wasn't when I started", both of which are terrible ways to approach potential game design & improvement, why are so many of the responses so angry?

I've noticed this trend of hostility and rejection towards new ideas across this entire forum. As someone who lurks from time to time but rarely posts, it amazes me the lengths people will go to rip apart a poster for a simple suggestion that more than likely won't be read by SE anyway. My conclusion is that most polite neutral/supportive players don't bother to post here because they are content or don't consider it to be a problem worth getting worked up over, mostly leaving the combative and hostile minority jumping into these kinds of threads to attack the OPs.

Guess I'll offer my thoughts since I decided to stick my head into this topic. I wouldn't mind seeing a simple in-game notification added, provided it can be turned off. I have a house myself. While I'm careful to enter it on a regular basis, putting up more safeguards against the demolition system wouldn't hurt.

You would think that they suggested a mariachi band blast across the entire zone the player is in every time they log in.
