Petition: Drop Housing Plot Prices

Petition: Drop Housing Plot Prices
Square-Enix, this is outrageous and done with complete disregard for small FC's, which your current community is mostly comprised of. These prices are far to high even for the hardcore Gil farmers, I'm sure professional gold sellers are looking at these prices and saying to themselves, we need to step our game up and farm more Gil cause we know the only way players can afford this is to buy our Gil!

And yes this is what your playerbase is thinking right now also. Do you think we farm gil all day, alot of us are busy enough farming gear and raiding to devote ourselves to farming even a fraction of these prices.

Post in this thread to support the follow petition.

Reduce the plot starting prices far lower and allow us to bid war over them as intended, at these prices you have put no one can even afford the starting prices.

Square-Enix, please for the love of Hydalyn, learn the lessons other MMO developers did before you!

Signing this a thousand times.

Definitely signing this.

if you guy can plz get more ppl on this thread and sign it

please leave something if you view this

no?


pricing is balanced to keep it a luxery item, based on Server Economy.


... it is an Auction style system where if not bid in 6 hours, it drops in price, another 6 it drops again.

First come first serve - time to WORK TOGETHER in this MMORPG finally to do something.

But its a LUXERY - you don't NEED it.

The prices don't only hurt small fc's, its unattainable for big ones as well. In a completely full free company, to afford the large fc house every single member would have to put up at least 200k. In most cases, only 1/4 the members of a full fc even play, and an even smaller amount are of a high enough level to earn that much..

Yeah I'm signing on this as well , over a million gil per house plot is ludicrous! Good freaking lord! This is a game not a real world economy give me a freakin break! I do not intend to spend all my feaking time making gil to buy a stinking house plot for my free company! Not everyone in this game has a Free Company consisting of 400 people for Christs sake! Some of us have less than 20 people in our companies and don't have MILLIONS of gil just lying about to spend on ridiculously priced land plots in a stupid video game!

Christ! what is wrong with you people! seriously! placing these kinds of prices on virtual property is just LUDICROUS!!! It's simply uncalled for and this type of price gouging will make people leave your game! I for one will NOT be spending all my free time farming GIL just to buy a stinking house in a virtual world that I SOMETIMES play in !! Good freaking Greif ! Square you have lost your ever-loving minds if you think your subscribing members are going to buy into this crap!!!

This is the kind of thing that will drive me for one away from this game!! this is unacceptable to charge your subscribing members these kinds of outrageous prices for virtual property!! Get a freaking clue!! NOT EVERYONE PLAYING ONLINE GAMES LIVES WITH THEIR PARENTS AND HAS NO RESPONSIBILITIES BEYOND PLAYING AN ONLINE GAME!!! SOME OF US WORK FOR A LIVING AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO COMMIT TO FARM UP SUCH LUDICROUS AMOUNTS OF IN-GAME MONEY TO GET THE PRIVILEGE OF TAKING PART IN A MUCH WANTED PART OF THE GAME!!!

Your company really needs to get a clue here jeesh! You WILL lose subscriptions with this kind of ridiculous pricing of virtual property!

If your a paying subscriber and you disagree with me that is just fine, you are entitled to your opinion! BUT SO AM I!! and this is completely UNACCEPTABLE!!

If square does not adjust the prices of the housing in this game to a more REASONABLE AND REALISTIC price then I for one will be CANCELING MY SUBSCRIPTION as well as my wife's and my childs !!!

This is the kind of crap that is set up to make games like this only appeal to the elitist pigs that spend all thier time in a game being "hard core gamers" and its simply ridiculous to expect that every person playing the game has that kind of time to commit to making in-game money of such a ridiculous amount just to experience SOME of the more wanted content in the game...!!!

I'm over the initial shock of the high prices by now. My FC has come to the realization that we won't be able to afford ANY size of plot for another couple patches (by the time a plot drops 50%, a new patch is theoretically supposed to be ready then, and that's assuming another FC doesn't buy the plot earlier XD)

We may not be big or have a lot of money, but at least we know and trust each other, and that's more important than having a staging area in our opinion. I just have to ask, what's the general plan for AFTER purchasing a house, considering how much time will be spent using it as opposed to PvP, treasure hunts, new quests, dungeons, primal fights, beast tribe rep, etc.....? Use the /sit emote? I say save your money for personal housing ^^

Btw, SE you might want to fix your typo. The patch notes say the price will drop 14% every 6 hours... which is alot. The math seems to support a .14% drop.
As for the petition, I agree prices are a little steep. The good thing is that since this is an MMO, they can change stuff whenever they want to. Give it a few weeks. If no one purchases houses, they will drop prices. It will all work out.

Luxury item? Lawl. Are you drunk?

What is the point of releasing a HUGE amount of content to the game when the MAJORITY of the player base will never even be able to touch it until 3 months from release? People will be fed up with waiting for prices to drop, period. There is no way to make money like that. My FC is small (20 people) with 2 Master Crafters and between us we will be lucky to hit 5 million (6.4 million for the smallest house on server). THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GIL CIRCULATION IN THE GAME FOR THESE RIDICULOUS PRICES, PERIOD.

Signed. Don't release content your player base can't even experience.

Not only that, why am I paying for content I can't use? I don't pay the subscription of those hardcore gamers who can Gil Farm.

so what the point of getting ppl hype up for it and no one will buy one half a year in to the game even the biggest fc on my sever can't affored this it drop to 50% if u wait 90 day

Will sign this thread also. SE is bug nuts with these prices. Maybe they should 1/10 that number like they did to us in the beginning.

Signed and signed again

Signed. I like many others, was only logging in once or twice a week to clear Coil Turns.... Housing was what I was looking forward to. It has put an incredibly sour taste in my mouth, and I am truly upset I trusted SE enough to buy a 180day sub. I have over a 100days left that I will likely waste due to the nerfs to WHM, the joke that is housing, and the lack of content added for leveling alt classes.

Signed in the other thread, signed here, too.

I would also like to add that this kind of practice would be expected from F2P MMOs. This is a subcription-based game.

Why, SE?

N RoHodes . "Don't release content your player base can't even experience". Says it all for me signed

SIGNED Its soo dumb why release content that nobody can afford

My FC has around 40 members. We are almost halfway to getting our small house, not a single person has farmed gil; its not that hard.

Get over yourselves.
