WHAT?! 625 Million for first class House?

[Ksenia]

It isn't just the 625 for top tier.

8 mill is bottom of the barrel.

So all you legacy server FC's that took in new players? Yea, they are a liability now. You need strong Gil earners to make it in FF14. Dump the dead weight.

Your FC slot is now worth 1.2 mill, beat the feet, nub.

[Taaz]

Care to rebut intelligently?

In other words, he's right and you have nothing to cite for the figures you yanked out of your ass. Thanks for confirming.

Throwing in another voice for the prices are too damn high thread. Cause.. well they are. I understand wanting people to work for housing. Anything beyond the lowest kinda seems out of our range though (and even the lowest is going to be a lot of work to obtain). My FC doesn't make people donate, or play the market, or anything like that. We've had a few members that donated a fairly large amount, most didn't donate anything, so we're sitting around the 2mil mark of things saved figuring it was safe based on a comment about it costing about the same as x number of players going from 1-50.

My FC does not have a lot of crafters in it. We haven't really been left with a whole lot of active people (a lot have quit either to frustration with getting hit by aoes they were out of, or boredom from running the same dungeons over and over). Realistically, not everyone is going to donate to the fund for housing, and even if people do then the realistic amount is probably in the 50k-100k range and not in the millions. At the prices now, my FC is never going to see a nice house. That isn't to say people aren't working for things. We have people that gather mats for consumables, help each other do dungeons, and self-provide for the FC. It just seems like unless you're good at playing the market, and do it quite often, FC housing is not going to be for you.. and considering the audience this type of content usually caters to, that's not really a smart move.

So people can do something other than kill a knife-wielding lizard 500000000 times a day.
I guess Animal Crossing: New Leaf will keep me entertained for 6 months.
But who is to say P.Housing won't have jacked up asshole prices?

It's housing. How much of an escape were you expecting exactly?

You buy a house, you decide which wallpaper looks nice, you add in some chairs and a table and then... you're done. Maybe the next day you log in and decide you want the leather upholstered chairs instead of the wooden ones and that the table may look better in the other corner.

This is the first implementation of a system at its barest, without any of the worthwhile and interesting features they've repeatedly said would not be coming until future updates.

If you were expecting to be able to bury yourself in the whole housing experience and get away from the boring world of killing monsters then you've managed to set your expectations way too high.

Being a staunch supporter of this game and this series, i can (after a fassion) understand why this was setup the way it was. Even so i can't help but be dissapointed. I have been a member since 1.0 ce beta, and have looked foward to alot even when the vast majority wrote off this game. I understand that since im a casual player i will miss out on somethings, as i am not a hardcore player, but this seems unfair in my opinion. SE for what ever reason seems to favor the idea of rewarding those who use exploits/ cheats to consume content... the very same who turn around complain at the lack of content they used every short cut to complete. With all thats being done to bring the community togeather this seems counter productive, contnuiously segregating people like this just breeds contempt. I hope this changes, i know the prices will drop eventually but seriously more thought should have put into this.

[Kirschey]

so everyone that just shelled out 1 million for that house won't even have the joy of being a designer

And this is why I think overall guild housing is a terrible idea.

[Mortikhan]

So let me get this straight...

1) SE decides to make all our gil from 1.0 10% value in an attempt to scale back the overall economy meaning less would be more.

2) They start banning people who have accrued (in their eyes) too much gil since the release of 2.0. Sending a message against gil hoarding.

3) SE releases housing for FCs that is ridiculously overpriced and starts limiting drops on new dungeons.

Sounds like a lack of future content to me. It is either that or a message to casual and semi-hardcore players that they should pack up and go. I sure hope these houses do something besides look pretty.

I would think to make it fair they set the price of the housing lower and charge a maintenance fee. The method they are using is going to kill off small/mid size FCs. We will see how this goes however and see what new elitism/theivery it creates.

[Babydoll]

snippy

Even as a hardcore player I would never be this stupid to waste so much on a house. SE can gtfo with these prices lol.

We do have enough money for it but not dumb enough to spend that much...it is not worth it.

Hey, you can like killing Tonboy 600000 times without losing your friggin marbles, cool.
But let me design my house in peace and have fun with it. Different strokes for a lot of folk.
It gives me something to do after playing CT or whatever. The more content and just random things to do on the side
the better. The whole thing is a trap. Since it's near impossible to make a big FC home.
They go ahead and make you play for months on in aka sub all the time so we can obtain the goal.

Even though it isn't P. Housing some people REALLY want to have their own house. I'm not the only one wanting to go solo.
Thing is, not all of us can design it, only the FC leader person...So....I mean if we had our own rooms where we can design it I guess...
But I wanna do everything so there lol.

I'm on Durandal, it's a lovely server with lovely people. Naturally, on the peasant servers where it starts at 20m gil, you probably had a lot of "TITAN RUNZ 250k! OVER 300 RUNZ!" (I saw that advert) 300*250,000 = 75,000,000, wow, on Sargatanas you can use all that gil to buy a 5th class Medium! Don't worry though, you only need to sell another 900 odd runs to get the super deluxe version.

So, anyone running a vote on "who is happy with the FC housing prices"? I vote "Umm, nah, got some rich 1.0 players but I wouldn't pay 20m for a shack".
