Auto Demolitions Need to be Reactivated

[dspguy]

They should just keep it off. Accept that auto-demolition is a band-aid and a bad idea. Address the actual housing supply issues in other ways.

They could definitely do a purge. Maybe 45 days is a bit short but every 3-6 months would probably free several dozens houses from people who stopped playing. Maybe give a linger delay to recuperate decos afterwards. Other games don’t do it but they don’t have a limited and finite supply as SE’s system. Without demolition there will basically be no chance for new players to get a house unless they add more wards. Not getting rid of abandoned houses also goes against this so-called “neighborhood” feel that they always talk about. When auto demo was on, even if the number was limited, there were houses for sale on a regular basis which is not the case now. A small number is better than none at all.

I have a house and would totally be ok with it being demolished if I stopped playing.

I wasn't even aware they stopped doing auto-demolitions lol.

I ended up losing my house when I got memed hard by covid and I even lost the gil and all of the furniture because I was so messed up I ended up missing the timer for recovering the stuff.

Auto demolition is a great idea, people shouldn't have limited resources if they aren't going to use them

I thought SE can't reactive the timer until Ukraine won the war.

I used to agree with auto demo, but now that I have my dream house I think it should stay off. We wouldn't want unlucky people to own homes.

Agreed. There are a LOT of empty houses out there. We need demo back. It feels unfair to the average player - despite owning a house.

We make a habit of exploring houses on various wards and servers, and there are way too many that aren't even being touched. Nevermind wards taken up by an entire shell FC that need to go, outright.

Show us on the puppet where those people touched you ;P

To be honest. The demolishing system is stealing. As the original owner is not paid back the cost of the house.
