Time to Restart Housing Demolition

[Jojoya]

This is an absolutely psychotic take, holy shit.
We're talking about whether or not to enable a feature that's been disabled in a video game for 6 months, and you're asking me to answer for 23 deaths in a warzone for a conflict on the other side of the world.

This is as bad with fake posturing as the people at the start of the war who changed their glams to blue and yellow and stood in Limsa. It serves no purpose other than to stroke your ego and attempt to brand anyone who disagrees with you as heartless.

My first statement had nothing to do with whether or not demolition should be resumed.

You're the one who said "It's fair to say things have settled down".

No, they haven't. Pull your head out of your nether regions. There are innocent people still dying over there.

If you want to know my feeling about demolition, look at my last statement.

If they're dead, they won't mind if their video game house gets recycled.
Or does it remain their house "until sea swallows all?"

None of the anti-housing-recycling advocates ever bothers to address what should happen to houses of players that leave the game forever -- either voluntarily, by ban, or by death. This demonstrates that their true goal is to sabotage the FFXIV housing system, which they hate, in the hope SE will be forced to replace it with a new one.

Why are you pulling what I said out of context?

Thank goodness people only have to look up a few posts to get the correct context.

There is the part of 'a reminder to a player' that can matter on this. Especialy if its a valued member of the community (on which that community can be just an FC). Destroying that means that memory gets destoyed with it. But on that we also have the counter argument: many people die for random reasons. War is dusgusting, but so is cancer. The argument here should be no diffirent. And especialy in games, since you dont realy know the player... what would the value be?

It would be nice if those houses can be preserved. Even if for now the housing system cannot manage it. If in lets say 1 year they manage to make some sort of instanced system which can be used to view those houses... it can still preserve that history.

But lets now also compare it to the IRL situation, a house someone lived in that you know also gets sold to a new owner at some point. The memory in that case is just its location from that point. And thats why i think that even if it would be nice if those houses can be preserved, it is not required.

Is that sabotage? No... its just comparing to limited resources IRL. At least in this case the old version can be put into a backup for later, when the servers can manage housing without these limits. The address might still change then, but thats not realy the personal thing anyway.
