Please put Auto-Demo back on

[Themarvin]

Please turn it back on, if not already, so there can be at least some kind of rotation again in the current system.

I'm not expecting that to happen until Ishgard housing opens. It's only a couple of months away at this point and would make the current suspension one of the shorter ones they've had.

Also not certain what you mean by "rotation in the system". Even with it re-enabled, there's going to be almost nothing available on most worlds. I was pretty surprised that so few houses became available this week with Materia opening. I was expecting to see more vacancies appear but have only seen a couple dozen.

Would be good to put back on now and it makes little sense why it should had been turned off, at at least kept some regions free would seem in place

Before Endwalker came out, I had been unsuccessfully trying to get a SMALL sized house in every available district, for more than half a year. Unsuccessfully, since I lost to bot users and FCs swarming around the placards all the time. I sacrificed entire weekends, caused tendovaginitis in my right wrist from clicking for 14 hours at a time and to crown all of this experience, auto-demolition was turned off because some people whined because of queue times. On my server, queues have been down to 20-30 people at a time since the new year, and now that Oceania got its own DC, queues are non-existent.

I find it extremely unfair that people get to sit on their houses without the pressure of having to even log on, while people like me do not even get the chance to get a plot.

I do feel for anyone still needing a home, I truly do.
SE needs to fix dynamic supply, not punish players for not logging in.(lol)


The demo timer is by far, the worst decision SE ever made.

I'd argue the worst decision is using wards in the first place instead of a system that can easily expand for a growing player base.

My house was auto demo'd a few months back when I wasn't playing and got tired of logging in every 45 days.... pretty much had a house in my name for the last 3 years consistently but last year was rough IRL so i needed a break. now I regret it. I knew I would....honestly, screw this housing system.

Not really, it is the best thing they did, else you would have houses that could stand empty for years, due to people quit playing for good or between expansions, it is really not punishing the players, if you don't play for a month and a half, then you are barely into the game and if need some kind of housing, then an apartment would be a better fit, though we are probably gonna see Auto-Demo with that as well due to eg. the Balmung Situation.

What is the point of keep bashing the past?
They didn’t even expect that many people will come back during 2.0 relaunch.

If FF14 had a solid player base like current, ward will stay as FC only and it is not even issue
What done is done, we just need to get over with it

Can't change what happened in the past but that doesn't mean they should continue to repeat those mistakes in the future.

Other games with housing do not have this problem. There's no good reason why it should remain a problem here.
