Controversial Statement: Don't know why they bother with Auto-Demolish. It seems like its already off for large chunks of the year and as we get more and more extreme weather occurring it will probably be off longer and longer each year. That or do they eventually just need to say "screw it. Its getting silly the amount of time we have this off. If you lose your house you lose your house. We will give you a full refund and I'm sure another will turn up eventually for you to buy" If NA is off because of the cold weather they might turn it back on in time for ShB which is just in time for Hurricane season to be turned off again no doubt which leads nicely back into winter when ....yea, you get it.

Or do they say "Screw it. It's getting silly the amount of time we have this off. Lets just not bother with demolish and find another way to manage houses in game" (maybe allow people to place a bid if they want your house and you have to decline it or accept it in a set amount of time. If it isn't actioned the house is sold for that value as you're deemed to be afk. No bid then your house stays indefinite)

I just see from sigs they said they wouldn't have an Auto-Demolish and now they do it's off more than it's on, it feel like. Except for the EU, it feels like ours is never off. Don't think it's been off since they turned it back on after Shirogane got released, unlike Jp and NA.
