Spoken like someone who's never met, and certainly never been, a survivor of war or any similar disaster.
Judging from your attitude, odds are you've lived a life free from real want or real suffering,
and accordingly have no clue as to how inconsequential a video game really is.

Someday, the servers will shut down for good, and that will be the worst day of your life, won't it?
Lucky you.

The best part of this left-field dissertation on your theories about my personal life is that you edited it. You realized it needed cleaning up, and yet you left it looking.. like this. It really must have been a sight to see after you first wrote it.

That would really help me who has 4 houses thanks. I can stop paying my sub for a year and come back to 4 houses still.

I Should add, what's your suggestion to fix the supply issue?

IF you want more wards, then they have to keep adding more servers. What happens when whole wards of players aren't playing anymore, those wards are essentially dead because there is no turn over of housing for the 60+ accounts that aren't paying their subs anymore.

Do you actually look around to see what other threads are running? Because I've said, in this thread even, what my thoughts are on how to alleviate the supply issue.

Clearly you don't actually want the answer then and are just trolling.

lol, you can easily copy and paste, why should I look through your posts because you're too arrogant to copy and paste what you said in another forum post or repeat what you said elsewhere on this thread.

At this rate I should start charging people who ask the same damn question I already answered /in this very forum post/ and are too lazy to look back a couple of pages.

Why charge? That goes against your ideals of not having auto demolition which essentially means that people can unsub from the game and keep their house(s).

I "editted it" to add "for good" after "shut down," to distinguish game EOL from maintenance.
But you just can't help making stuff up out of whole cloth, can you?
Whether something is true, or even has the slightest bit of evidentiary support, seems pathetically irrelevant to you.

I'll be serious though as i did read through your points although I am dyslexic, so can't remember names easily...

Yoshi P wants the neighbourhood feel, and I agree. It's far from perfect on most wards, but that's likely down to the fact that people aren't playing the game, hence why you need auto demolition. I myself at 2 of my houses have really nice and friendly neighbours I interact with quite often, actually friends with a few of them and have been since I moved in.

Housing is an entirely optional (and enjoyable) part of the game (they need to sort out the gardening and cross breeding as that is gate keeping) as well as improve on numerous things like producing furniture sets rather than crap. (no matching kitchen sets) This optional part of the game is one of the few money sinks and the auto demolition is what results in the turn over of housing. IF you aren't using it for what ever reason, why should you keep it. As per your argument about auto demolition being introduced post housing, then I present you this argument. Housing should be restricted to Free Companies only as it was for FCs only at the start. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...926bda296b64a2

They NEED to expand on apartments even if it costs them a lot of dev time (money). As it currently stands, housing is featured as an integral part of the game but completely half baked and neglects the majority of the player base.

The islands announcement was completely anti climatic personally as it could have been a solution for players without houses to access gardening and decorating housing...but no. It's a completely separate and unrelated gameplay loop. Yoshi P may have turned around FF14 to be one of the best MMOs on the market despite its many UX issues. But his/SE's ideals and tight purse strings are getting in the way of players being able to enjoy the game fully. Just look how limited furniture placing is for housing as an example which is an artificial game engine restriction compared to what players can do when those artificial restrictions are ignored *cough*.
