Anyone else Feel a bit Mislead by the "player" housing?
Ok... So of all the new stuff with update 2.1, the one that excited me the most was the Housing. Its the one thing (outside of nice looking armor/weapons) that i would have sank quite a bit of time, effort, and gil into. I have fun dressing up a house for my character, using it to bring a bit of 'life' to her so-to-speak, as well as using it as a place to hang out with a few friends I have in-game.
So when i heard about the Housing being added into FFXIV with 2.1, I got excited.
Now im frustrated.
After looking into the Housing district's a bit, and looking a the prices for each plot, I realized that they did NOT add in 'player' housing. What they added in, is GUILD housing. (or Free Company Housing, whichever term you wish to use).
And here's why.

Yup, you see right. Almost 8 'million' gil. for a 'small' plot within the housing area. 8 'MILLION'. And after waiting for it to 'devalue' to see how much that ridiculous price drops.

Yup... it only dropped 11,200 gil.
At that current rate, it will take 118 'Devaluations' for it to reach 0 for the price. Or 30 DAYS, for those who don't want to do the math (Unless the amount it devalues by goes up with each cycle)
Which means that no 'average' player will even be able to think of getting a house of their own, till near the end of June. And even then, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if every single lot is taken up by then.
Either by:
1) The Major Free Company's.
2) People who feel 'pushed' towards relying on RMT's in order to get the Gil needed to get a house for their character.
Anyone else feel a bit mislead about the 'housing' that was being added in? Expecting/Hoping to see 'player' housing, only to realize what has actually been added is Guild/Free Company Housing?
