Not Real Life so why ARE The housing Prices so Insane? Subbing to this is horrible.

After reading the pricing for Sarg the 25mil we raised in my FC went from feeling like a fortune to a pitiful sum of money. I wonder if that FC shouting in LL is still advertising "Enough gil for large FC house come 2.1"...

did they seriously just spend all that time developing and hyping this shit just so only 5% of their population can use this feature?
LMAO

Did you know in RL you can have mortgage monthly rates lower then you would pay for most apartments or anywhere with rent w.o utilities?

NO NOT LOANS, OR THIS IS HOW IT WILL WORK OUT

I looked at the prices for Balmung and winced since our economy is crashing. All selling/undercutting and no buying.

That and not all of those on Balmung are from 1.0. 62 million (the price on 'new' servers) for a large, 5 star plot is reasonable for them, but not 312 million.

I understand where the OP is coming from.

The pricing for a house is about what it would be like if you were working for one IRL. It makes sense... but, this game is also supposed to accommodate players who don't have the time to treat this game like a full-time job. Considering the MAJORITY of the money you make will come directly from OTHER players buying stuff you sell, it's a problematic situation when everyone who isn't super rich will be trying to save money to get the cheapest house possible.

The price for the houses are ridiculous. Makes me regret not being one of those TITAN HM sellers. Our FC spent the last couple of months helping randoms with TITAN HM for free to combat the sellers, but looks like the joke is on us.

THIS^^ A thousand times this. The panic that these patch notes has caused is CRASHING Balmung's economy. Everyone is in a mad dash to sell everything they have. Raw material prices are being driven down so low that it's just unreal. The people who are sitting on the money that they 'claim' that we all have are going to end up waiting until everything is so low that's redonculous and then buying up everything and hording it. Then when they resell it's going to be so high no one is going to be able to afford anything! There is going to be a Depression on Balmung. I can only imagine it's the same for other Legacy servers. This is horrible!

Logic.

Wait a second.... am I in the right forums?

This is a portion of the game that I will never enjoy.

Thanks for another punch in the face to the legacy players. The more days that go on, the more sure I am I SHOULD not be legacy. This is not the game I was told I supported, not the game I asked for or wanted.

If I'm still here is because I still have hope that some elements of what I liked on 1.0 will ever come back, but after seeing this decision making regarding to housing, I'm not even sure I'm gonna like ANY of the future developments of this game.

I need to cool off, but still, the fact remains the same, that each passing day I dislike the game more and more.
