An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[cotti]

On something at least thought out like this, I can totally agree.

[Nero]

I totally agree wit you Abriael... actually i also would be fine with slicing 1 0 and then double the price. At least for Legacy Servers.

So that would be for the "Ghetto"

Small: 4.000.000
Medium: 15.000.000
Large: 50.000.000

I could live with that, but 250 mil for my Server for a "Ghetto-Plot" seems hilarious. I really do not care if it does take Time to get the proper amount of money, but 250? no way.. esp since Yoshi said 1-50 3 times and we could buy a medium house. That Statement does not make sense at all anymore. People will now drive the economy like crazy and that does not help in "building" money, it actually will make it worse. I actually was farming Mats for Cooking and since people saw prices, i see a high increase of people farming Mats. Prices will drop and my income will drop. There are ways to make Gil and actually make it fast, but the current Setup is totally fucking up the existing economy and looks like SE forgot that they cut 1 Zero from our 1.0 Gil.

After all we are talking about an aesthetic aspect of the Game and it does not even influence our Character-Progression, so i dont really see why people would pay 250 Mil or even 625 Mil for "cosmetics". Teasing us for Years for Housing and then pull something like is, makes me actually forget all the other Stuff coming with 2.1. I do like the other Content and i was excited about everything else, but the Housing gave me a huge Bummer and does make me not want to play right now.

Throwing my voice into support this, these prices on Balamung are ridiculous.

Couldn't have said it better

Honestly, the pricing isn't that bad, for the cheapest group of servers. Because the prices will end up going down over time, the prices can become very reasonable for even the smallest free company to obtain as long as they put in a little effort. At that point it would be all about whether or not you want to gamble and let the price continue to go down, or buy the land. The part where they screwed up was when they determined that different servers need different prices. Just because legacy servers had the opportunity to make money in 1.0 doesn't mean the pricing should be 5x and 10x the prices of the lower servers. You did reduce our gil by 1/10th after all and stated that it wouldn't affect us whatsoever, which has been straight up BS since the start.

I'll contact you in game for a donation.

I think I have a kidney to spare...

LMAO I already told my FC I would not take part in this till they lower the price. This type of stuff has to stop its crazy.
On a lighter note I normally do season events where i give away gil the last one was on halloween i gave around 10 - 20 mil to winner

Nice to hear though

Great write up and well thoight out OP. I hope the devs see this. Housing was a big thing for me but my small fc cant even afford the most crappiest plot...

[Nikita]

It just dawned on me and I had to laugh out loud thinking about all of the new furniture we will be able to make for the housing we can't afford.

Same boat, and we've been saving since release, and we aren't halfway there, to the smallest LOT, not even including the house which whill bump the price to like 9 mil instead of 8
