The Actual truth about the housing system.. please read..

In truth, the housing they brought out is barely being used from just talking to people in duty finder. A majority of FC even from the Legacy servers are just waiting for the price to go down. There have been only very few people saying their FC bought a house, but that is like maybe a few percent of the majority. One person did say their FC bought the largest plot for like 125mil and at max FC level got a king moggle mog mount, whether this was true or not I don't know. I didn't even bother investigating it since housing is ridiculous atm.

This is the truth.

Yoshi offered a lot of excuses but in the end, housing is instanced. There are only so many servers they could stand up committed to housing - if everyone bought a house then it would overwhelm their infrastructure. So he came up with this crazy plan where no one will be able to buy a house until SE has time to put up more servers. Well its working. No one is buying. I really don't think he realized the extent of the economy side-effects this would create. I think he had his back up against the wall - he had promised housing with 2.1 and it wasn't ready. But he had to release it so the best he could come up with was to release it in such a way that no one (or very few) would buy, giving him time. Then he spouted some blah nonsense about gil inequality and RMT.

The most ironic thing to me was that he promised furniture would re-invigorate the economy and give people something new to make. LOL. If there are no houses, no one is going to buy furniture. So idiotic. This really makes me think in the end he had no choice -- he had planned to make housing more accessible to begin with but something happened that caused them to have to delay.

Yoshida purposely ruined the economy on all server, so that their is no possible way for one to make money to the point of over 500K or 1MIL.

So once all the legacy gil has been eradicated on over priced FC house, yoshida will have a clean market economy state to work with, and then will introduce new items and recipes for everyone to make money on, and then everyone on all markets will have an equal opportunity.

As a legacy player, I haven't seen any furniture for sale on Hyperion, and I haven't heard of any FC buying a house. People aren't going to spend three hundred million for a freakin plot. Not a bad theory but it fails due to human nature.

We bought a medium house, we worked hard for it, we came together as a FC to get it. I love it! get over yourselves. Sure there may be lots of opinions on why the prices were so high. One thing i know is fact, I would be glad to see other stuff cost that much if it meant my entire FC working together towards a common goal and having a blast while doing it. Everyone wants everything handed to them on a silver platter. How bout you work hard to get ahead? isnt that what Real Life teaches you? or you just gonna work at McDonalds the rest of your life?

So your FC (Fairy Tail, Cerberus) raises some money and calls everyone else lazy freeloaders? I suppose that speaks for itself.

From our worlds' perspectives, SE paid 2/3 or 5/6 the price of your house, but won't do the same for us. That is why many people on the top two world tiers are complaining. Not because houses aren't free. Sure some of us had extra in "lifetime savings" from playing v1, but from all accounts that covers less than half the difference in price. Plus most of our FCs have lots of new players who had no extra savings.

Real life teaches me not to blow all my money on something that is useless and guaranteed to go down in price.

so i guess words will be put into my mouth that everyone takes WAY out of perspective. think of it this way, mcdonalds =$8 an hour, Psychiatrist=$150, who worked harder to get where they were? who put the TIME and EFFORT into it. hell, i started at $6.25 an hour, im making $18 an hour now because i worked a little harder and got a degree. Same can be said for this, everyone wants a new car (house) at $8 an hour but complains when only people who make $18 may be able to afford it. Complaining rarely gets you ahead in life. And plus, they have stated prices will be going down, no reason for you to freak out as long as you and your fc work towards the same goal.

and yes, i do feel your pain, i also agree that pricing even on your worlds was ridiculous. But we took only a short while to make the money to get our house. even if you have to pay more it shouldnt take you that much longer once prices start dropping a lot more.

So y did you buy this game? it only numbs your brain and look!

http://store.na.square-enix.com/stor...oryID.64514800

ITS ONLY 14.99!!!!!! OMG!!! IT WENT DOWN IN PRICE!!!!

you blow money on stuff you want because you want it. Real life does indeed teach you that. Want it early, pay more, Want it whenever, buy it when its cheaper.

It looks like you're trying to pick a fight, and what you're saying just makes rubs me the wrong way so I'll play devil's advocate.

I decided to level Disciple of Magic as opposed to Crafting for my first levels so I could spam dungeons while there were people who wanted to do them instead of grinding fates all day (which would be faster). I didn't take part in the crafting boom when you could make millions in a day. 100k was ~20% of my gil, and I gave it to my FC so they may be able to buy a medium level plot one day. I'm not super rich, but I'm sure if I tried hard enough (I'm fairly sure I can automate farming mats and throw down a few $100 on RMT easy), I can buy a plot too.

That is - I want to enjoy the game. I want to help people run for their relic weapons and be excited for them when they get their first Titan down. I want to random dungeons with people I've never met and see how they play. I want to craft things when I feel like it and for people who I feel like helping. Or craft for myself so I have a bit of cash stashed away for myself and my friends when they really need it.

I don't really enjoy farming maps, mats, selling runs, measuring the worth of people in my group, and "work hard" (doing mindless tasks for hours on end) in this game to "get ahead". And by getting ahead, it seems you're talking about getting a small virtual place where you will spend less then 5% of your time. I'd rather play naturally and buy a house as prices fall.

If I wanted to work, there are plenty of better places where I can be a workaholic.
