Observations and suggestion for impeding bots grabbing FC plots

And yes the way SE does the auto demo system is for making money, even for people on 1 subscription, they still cant unsubscribe.

Have you considered that your view might be heavily biased since you are willing to pay several subs for the sake of housing and surround yourself with people who do similar? If this game really only held people by the houses they have, it wouldn’t get the praise it gets.

I am speaking strictly from a housing perspective that auto demolition is made for people to keep their subscription up, you take months if not years to get a large or a medium, you dont want to lose it, so even if you stop playing for a while you'll keep your subscription up, it's just logical, what if you take a break for 2 months and then come back and have to fight for another large again for months ? I can tell you most people wont do that. There is a good reason why so many houses are empty or have their owner as inactive, a lot of house owners be it single house or multi house are playing other games and some even quit FFXIV all together and are just keeping their house for when they decide to come back.

The idea that you have to fight years to even get a large house is ridiculous to begin with. But as I said before. If they can turn it off for two years for everyone, it doesn’t make such a difference in square quarterly income as you’d like to believe. They can drop the system and it won’t make them a difference
