Production isn't the problem at all. Adventurers and restarting production in things like the Bookbinder and buffs is the real problem. In that way, I get thrown out by 24 hours every time because I need to maintain those at 7 am.
Yes, I want all of the activities on my home island to be stopped during regular maintenances
No, I want my home island to remain active during regular maintenances

Make the resources undepletable!so we can continue the production.
well BB if you are really going to listen to your community
a popular idea here seems to be the idea of having a buff that will stop all production buildings at once
Well my bad. I do read everything, but must have forgotten. If it was in forum then no, I did not read it. I get lost in here. And a lot happens in a week.
no , fine as it is
I see the business point of view but fail to see the users profit on it. Meaning, you dont need to keep anything running while doing maintenance so you could save things like equipement, electricity, server time, whatever... but i dont see whats in for the user.
No.
Definitely not, I can see this creating more problems than what it is trying to solve. For instance, it's hard enough to complete certain guild quests when you're a "night owl" without production stopping as well.
This will throw our personal timetables into chaos, if I place a 24hr or greater buff on a workyard at say 2am, do you really expect me to wait up until 4 or 5am the next night before it clears? And of course, playing more than 1 server just means this will snowball as you try to catch up with all of them.
Instead of using a "sledgehammer to crack a nut", why not do the simple task that's been requested over and over again? Post up the maintenance times on home page at least 24 hrs before they are due, preferably a little more to create a "safety margin". If these are "regular" maintenances as claimed then you must know well in advance but still those of us in certain time zones get crippled by "surprise" announcements that we only see an hour or 2 before the maintenance is due. Certain language versions sometimes do this but overall the notice is poor across the board.
We love our new CM.

It was good while it lasted.
While I can see a few advantages of pausing production during down time, I think that like most people, I perceive there are more disadvantages. This is reflected in the current poll statistics with around 8:1 against making the change.
I vote NO, as long as we gets a heads-up one day or prior to that the maintenance takes place as it is today, then everyone can make sure to turn off any building they are afraid about during the maintenance.
