"Why does SE make content not obtainable by everyone?" Huh?!

Still want to compare a game to the real world?

Vanity gear? Each slot costs 2 million. It's a luxury, a vanity item, if you want it, you have to work for it.

Comparing a haircut (which by the way, 2 thousand for a haircut, he better be DaVinci with scissors) and a house, is so far off the spectrum it's not even worth the effort to calculate. I'm sorry you don't understand how that works.

I just like to sit back and laugh that for a game so many people have derided for catering too much to casual players and being too easy to progress through you finally have something that is going to take time and effort to accomplish and people are freaking out.

First this game was too soft on casuals and now suddenly after a single luxury feature it's a game that only caters to the richest hardcore players.

uhm... what?

the problem is that the numbers that SE has posted is just for the land that the house goes on. its not 625 mil for the house and the land, its just for the flat piece of land.

its one part of the sink. we have no idea how big the sink is, but the initial number that we drop for a plot of land for our FCs house (and not every fc is going to go the cheapest route, a lot of big fcs like mine will have to go for the even bigger ones) scares the crap out of me.

with the bigger plots of land the land itself might end up overshadowing the cost to build the house (doubtful, we will just have to see when 2.1 lands and we see the actual size of the land itself.)

^^ I agree with you Tryst. I've been saving since 1.0 and same with a good amount of my 1.0 friends.
Since we have a good amount of ppl we were shooting for at least a Med size house.
Now we can barely afford a small & if we did buy a small we would all be broke!
So needless to say we aren't touching housing till prices are more reasonable.

And I love that you made the same examples I did hehe
Yea make barber shop and vanity slots cost tons of gil.
Forums would probably rage harder then they are now ^_^; lol

I really hope I'm just misreading the posts in this thread and that you guys aren't seriously implying that housing should be a luxury that only the "elite" and the "hardcore" get to enjoy and all the filthy casuals who spend less than 16 hours a day farming gil should settle for being homeless.

Exactly. I'm usually supporting the hardcore point on most things but not extreme barriers to entry.

They're just trolling at this point.
