Heaven forfend a poor like me what scraped together 80 million gil between me and my BF buy an L house because someone on the forums arbitrarily decided they're only meant for certain subsets of people.

Heaven forbid a very casual player scraped together 5 mil after saving from their daily roulettes and the like, and now they can't buy it because someone on the forums arbitrarily decided they're too cheap for rich crafters. It goes both ways. ;)
Keep prices as they are, they're fine across the board. When inflation gets WoW levels of bad, they we can talk about raising 'em.
I think 80 million gil is much more difficult to acquire than 5 million. Doesn't main scenario alone throw like a million at you just for doing it? 1/5th of a small...1/80th of a large. Big difference. To put it in perspective, for an FC to buy an L you'd need to ask 16 of your members to essentially forego an S house's worth of gil...is an L even the size of 16 smalls? I doubt it. The current L pricing only really benefits omnicrafters and large FCs with 50+ members who are too poor to afford an S house on an individual level, really.
tl;dr L houses are priced disproportionately high to their worth; raising those prices would only make it worse. (Ms are probably not really worth their value either, tbh.) It seems my opinion is in the minority, though.
This will never happen - more worlds will be classified as "rich" perhaps but the outcry would be deafening if they raised prices in general... Now they *might* make ISHGARD WARDS more expensive as the "premium" new area but new wards in the older areas -never happening.
