Turn Housing Demolition on

[Alleo]

Here is the thing. Everyone here wants fairness right? So turning a auto demo timer would be fair correct? What if a player stopped playing or sadly passed away and the house just sits there forever. Wouldn't it be smarter to to have the system turned back and in theory lower the time needed for auto demo? Problem is everyone defending it isn't truly using their brain and seeing the bigger picture. Just using the small logic of timer bad, timer stay off. Whereas the timer creates fairness for people who have decided to never come back or whatever reason and a plot just sits there never used when someone else could use it

I wonder if you would still found it fair if you finally get a house and then lose it thanks to the timer?

How about instead of punishing players we make it fair in a way that EVERYONE gets a house. Instead of wanting that bandaid back that wont free many houses while also hurting someone that was not able to log in, we group together and demand SE to change that system? How about a round of instanced housing where you can decide which house size you want?

Instanced housing would be the best way for this game. Everyone gets a house, the rewards in events and quests dont feel like a punch for those that dont have one and maybe people would chill out more instead of trying to hurt others so that they can get their chance. (And still fail because there are simply too many people)

Days ago someone wrote in my house that he gives it a -2 in decoration and that he could do so much better with it. Sorry player, its not my fault that I have this house and you dont have one. Dont need to be rude for it.

Would report the one who left such a nasty comment. Idk how people think it is ok to do that. I love wandering the houses and seeing everyone's own style. Some really blow you away and others give neat ideas for your own home. Some epic gpose spots people create too!

In other news I accidentally planted two curiel roots instead of krakka root for cross breeding T.T

I wish there was a nice "show your home" thread in the housing part of the forum. Would be nice to see houses on other DC without needing to level an alt.

you're acting like every war affects everyone and everywhere the same.. which they decidedly don't. This isn't just "omg there's a war" .. there are a LOT of effects worldwide if you'd care to pay attention.

I know you didn't mean it like that but it could also be read as if certain lives don't matter as much because they don't affect as much people. While that is certainly how the world operates it's a bit weird to argue like that over virtual houses.

I love doing that too It's super fun to see what people do.

"Show us your house"! I wonder if it could work, like the "show us your avatar" threads without turning into a saltfest? It would be awesome if we can do it!

Sure. but instead of snarky replies (not you.. others) I'm sure down to clarify any questions or misconceptions people might have.

It IS really weird to hear people disregard other peoples lives and livelyhoods just because "they're not me" though.

I'd be fine losing said house if I quit. *shrugs*

I know what I signed up for.

Exactly. I was fine losing my small house and my spouse's medium when we went on hiatus.
Since the new lottery system started, we've managed to get a small back.
Eventually, we'll get back a medium as well. Or maybe even a large, with a lot of luck.
That's the long-term goal, and it's good to have long-term goals in a game like FFXIV.

You do realize, that it is kinda profitable for the system they have in place, for anyone with an attachment to their digital ingame house? You effectively cant quit. Your subscription is assured, if they can get you attached enough to having a ingame house that the idea of losing is kinda is in part warranting a continued subscription. That youll login just to maintain it, and since that requires a subscription...

Its kinda rude what he posted, maybe not out of jealousy though.

There is. It ended up buried by threads about problems with the housing system so there hasn't been a new post in about 6 months.

I think most players are used to going to places like Housing Snap now because they're a bit better suited to searching out specific design styles than a forum thread.

Why get attached to a house in a game that you don't want be playing when you could focus on making a house in a different game that you do want to play and/or wouldn't be subject to demolition?

People let themselves get drawn into financial loss for the strangest of reasons sometimes.
