SE will eventually tank this game with it's insistence on choking the economy into obscurity, in 12 years of playing MMO's the one constant I always hear is that without a player controlled economy games die.
In this game crafters are prolific and largely useless, a large segment of job skills are made irrelevant outside of being nothing more than go to when bored time sinks, an economy is supposed to enable crafters to gain profit somehow, and every patch seems to make it just more futile.
With the housing patch SE failed hard on that subject, they have been failing hard on the economy since the game released.
I am a huge fan of FFXIV, I love this game and I love this world, I supported it since 1.0 and I'm not going anywhere. But just being honest here, it is shameful to watch this video and compare it to what is on display in these forums. Not just the huge array of features in Wildstar Housing compared to FFXIV's barebones; not just how it is a 'core gameplay mechanic' compared to FFXIV's 'tacked-on servers-can-barely-run-it affair; but especially that the video's ending tagline is "Remember, the devs are listening."
