Checking the thread again and I agree with all of you in the suggestion to rework the system altogether. Perhaps they did not expect housing to become such an essential part of the game? - it does not matter.
Auto-demo is still off, weeks are going by and I cannot imagine the craze and chaos that will unleash when Ishgardian housing drops and MAYBE, MAAAAYBE then they would grace us with turning auto-demo back on. It is ridiculous. Blows my mind - there is no queue congestion anymore, people are finishing EW in their own pace and there is absolutely no reason to keep it on. Oh- only if they are just waiting to muck up the entire housing market when 1.0 drops. Because that's what's going to happen at this rate.
