Final Fantasy XIV - A RMT Reborn

After 1 hour of waiting for the 2.38 Patch Note, the 1st thing i looking foward to it was personal housing, but after i look at the price of my world 4m/30m/70m and i remember yoshida mention before the personal housing is much more cheaper than FC housing but now it's about the same pricing. Now i can smell those RMT seller are coming and make a big business.

This is a total joke. What the hell are they thinking? People always complained that the housing prices were way too high for FCs - and now they think the prices are fine for an individual?

They explicitly stated personal housing would be cheaper than FC housing. So much for that.

Its not even separate. FC housing and personal share the_exact same wards. They were lazy as hell.

Obviously they are! the pricing are surprise already now we even need to grab the plot with those FC that looking for housing.

Maybe this was a plan to lure the RMTs out into the open?

Warming welcome RMTs? haha...

It took them nine months to make it so individuals could buy Free Company estates. Literally no other change.

Your subscription fee at work, people.

No wonder they gave us absolutely no information on this. Actually, they gave us misinformation, considering 850k was a bit too low, and Gardening might not happen (literally all they ever told us about Personal Housing). No damn wonder though, if they told me 8 months ago that Personal Housing would come in 2.38, and it would cost me 37,500,000 Gil and a lot of luck to get the plot I want, I'd have stopped playing there and then. They didn't even have Frontlines around to keep me interested back then... People have been begging for information on Personal Housing since 2.1, and instead of "It'll be exactly the same as Free Company Housing" we get complete and utter bullshit banter over 850k. Did they just forget about Personal Housing or something? Did someone turn around and go "Oh shit, weren't we meant to add Personal Housing this patch?", so instead of putting 9 months work into it they literally just gave us Free Company Housing again?

Way to take the ball, put it in a particle accelerator, and fire it directly at the center of the Earth at near-speed of light.

I think what morningstar is suggesting is something along the lines of:
1) RMT buys house as individual
2) RMT posts the house with plot and server on their website for real life $$
3) SE somehow catches wind of this and bans the RMT's account, thus removing the gil the RMT used to buy the house while freeing the plot up for legitimate players

My gut tells me there's a loophole somewhere in there that would benefit the RMT, but I can't think of one right now.

I bet they were talking about the houses being cheaper not the land.

They fooled you.

While everybody was eagerly waiting for the patch notes, I was eagerly waiting for the flood of tears on the forums. This is the best patch, warms my heart. :)

This is what bothers me the most. Not to mention the patch is basically, "Housing! But only if you're rich. PVP! Oh wait a lot of you don't care about that. Relics! I guess? ... No, that's it. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"

I've been pissed off at the game and at Yoshi for his decisions in the past, but my sub just renewed, and this is the very first time since 2010 where I felt like I've completely wasted that money.

I wouldn't consider RMT for housing if I were you.
Considering how few plots there are I imagine every purchaser's gil history will be checked.

na think it would be like this

RMT buys the lot sales to player for real $$
real player gets banned and RMT to and lot isnt freed

I imagine alooot of houses are gonna get seized.

gil buyer buys t6-9 for 80m---> run seller buys house....annnnd quickly loses house.

My boyfriend and I have been saving since the start of the game for personal housing. We have a little over 10 million gil between us now and expected to be able to get at least a medium house or maybe hold out for a large. It was stated that personal housing would be cheaper than FC housing but the cost of a medium house on Tonberry is exactly the same. The price of a small house is half and a large is almost three-quarters. Do they think that FCs consist of one or two people? If they did, we wouldn't need personal housing anyway. I'm honestly so disappointed. I expected something to work towards, but I'd need to become a career crafter to afford even a medium house. :( Sorry for the whiny post, but I just feel incredibly disheartened after seeing these prices...

there's a loop hole in there that benefits SE, that's all that matters

In the live letter when they explained the economy and the use of gil sinks to remove gil from the game. Well here are the gil sinks they talked about, they gave us a heads up, they all but said it. I said this in a post earlier today that the housing would be a lot more than players were planning on. I did not see them using the FC housing as player housing though. These house are meant to be long term investment in the game, not 100 gil have it day one. We do that which challenges us and this is like novus, it is a challenge and will take time. When you look at the life of the game over the long term of years, The prices are not bad. Given the grind we did for novus, this is not so bad. Though I am not saying it will be an over night thing to get housing, give it time.

Removing a million or two from every person would've been a much more effective gil sink than two wards don't you think? They just halfassed it, no ifs and buts.

No the FC housing furor back then was about how expensive THOSE plots were. The justification at the time was "it is supposed to be split between the members".. so WTF is the justification now? Serverspace. Please look forward to it™.
