[DEV] Free Company Housing Purchasing Idea!!

[FinagleABagel]

A small group is at a distinct disadvantage compared to a larger one any way you spin it.

Let me spell it out for you, real slow. On my server, there are five out of over two hundred FCs that have 100+ people. Five.

This isn't a question of "ease", but of sheer possibility. You cannot generate enough FC points to have any chance of keeping up with 100+ people. It's not mathematically possible, regardless of how much you play vs. how much they play. It is mathematically possible to keep up in terms of gil, through general skills. It takes time but it's not hard and/or impossible.

There is no question that if you want to reward "hard" work, gil is the more fair option. I'd rather see dozens of FC houses in 2.1 and I'm pretty sure every crafter in the game is going to want that too. More people to buy, more things to sell. It's a good thing for the market and it's a good thing for the community.

Also, don't forget that we already know a small FC house is about 800k. Do you really think a large FC house is going to be more than 5 million (more than 5x the cost of a small)? That quantity of gil should be simple for an FC of any size over 10 ppl to generate.

I don't know why you want FC's to be super exclusive. Easier time to zerg up your FC more with people desperate to participate in one of the main functions of 2.1? Sounds pretty shady and lame to me.

EDIT:

Also, when have forums corrected anticipated what players in game want? As if I'm the only person who thinks this is a bad idea. Do you even realize most people won't ever even look here? Heck if I wanted to I'd have about 200 people in here saying this is a bad idea. Does that make me right? No, just makes me a response stacker. I'm trying to have a substantive debate with you, but if you are going to rely on forum posts - well, I have nothing more to say to you.
