Devaluation Timer?
Ok...Either SE fails in math or I fail in math.
The Devaluation Timer
The price of a plot of land is set to be reduced 14% every six hours.
Example:
Small
- Starting Price: 8,000,000 gil
- 10 Days Later: 7,552,000 gil
- 15 Days Later: 7,328,000 gil
- 30 Days Later: 6,656,000 gil
- 90 Days Later: 3,698,000 gil
* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.
I've done the calculations, so, from 8 mil to 7.552 mil after 10 days, that is 5.9% reduction and yet, it was stated 14% reduction every 6 hours. 14% of 8 million is 7,017,543 after 6 hours. How can it be 14% when it's also state that it will fall to half of it's starting price in 90 days over 360 times.
This is a very mixed up post about the prices the reduction % costs. So, I'll take my 14% please or it's false advertising. Remember SE, you're fond of your legal terms of agreements, so therefore, follow through on that 14% reduction every 6 hours.

These prices may cause players to quit the game and thus reduce the money that you are making from loyal subs. Stupid move SE!!!

My small FC will never meet the gil requirements as they are set now and I can think of 2 maybe 3 FC's that could meet the absurd requirements for the lowest level of housing.

When my FC saw the prices on our server, we laughed ourselves nearly to tears. The cost is too damn high! We were really looking forward to getting a house for our FC, but it'll be months before we can afford one (cheapest on our server is 4M). TOO DAMN HIGH.
We are a pretty small FC, so we don't have a lot of ppl contributing.

SE, I don't think you put a lot of thought into your initial pricing. Looking at the total gil in circulation or overall economy of a server, unfortunately overlooks a very large demographic(small-medium sized FC's) as well as the ENTIRE RMT INDUSTRY.
I am in a fairly small FC, about 60 total players. Some of us spent lots of time gathering, crafting, and making money, while others spent time leveling nothing but battle classes. While we have managed to pool enough to buy a cottage, but it feels like a waste to put 8mil down on something small. The jump to 30 and 100 is a hard pill to swallow. So you have put out a HUGE part of this patch that many of us will not be able to enjoy for months. You are also encouraging RMT GIL BUYING by placing such a desirable carrot so far out of reach. So while all we have to do is keep saving over the next 3 months (and I think it was supposed to be .14% devaluation) I think the prices should be adjusted so we can enjoy this content now.

Grinding Dungeons/Raiding for gear I understand. Housing was supposed to be a fun way of doing other things with my FC without a grind.

I agree that these prices are nothing short of a gil sink. I feel the best way to catch their attention is not by petition, but by not participating in the housing. If everyone refuses to buy a house, they will be forced to act.

Signed,
I am a legacy player who lost 90% of his gil during the great gil reduction of 2013. Then about 25 of our FC moved servers due to lag making certain elements of the game unplayable, losing even more money since the amount you could take with you was capped.
Now, we are on a legacy server with 625m gil requirement to buy the best house, but to be honest, 40m for the smallest house is way out of our price range. We are a small FC and will never own a house at these prices so after playing from Beta of version 1, I am being denied access to one of the elements of the game i have looked forward to the most. Thanks but no thanks SE. Why not just front up and admit you dont have the infrastructure to be able to deliver housing yet. Then we will have a better understanding of why you have priced it so high only a few will be able to own property.

I was hoping we'd get our own place kind of like what SEGA did with PSO2. I didn't think it'd have to come down to this. I just hope that our voices are heard.
