WHAT?! 625 Million for first class House?

[Koss_Nottoris]

I don't think anyone is supposed to compete with these prices. Its just a trap by SE to get the RMT vendors. Which will in truth do nothing. Its poorly thought out and just a flat out horrible execution to something that many people where greatly looking forward to. Myself and my FC included. We'd been saving up as much gil as we could scrounge together and save up being a new and fairly small FC based of just friends. But there is no way we can ever amass the kind of money they want even for a small house. We all have jobs and lives outside of this game. It's ridiculous.

Funny thing they turned off character transfer service after making those outrageous prices differences public.

this price only punish small Fc and new player on the legacy server... indeed you have more money on the server, but this money is often hold by a few people, maybe less of 2-4% of the person on the server have more of 20 million on them.

indeed it's an FC house, indeed its means to be buy by a lot of player, but some point that people have bring are pretty just:

- FC that can afford house, will often have crafter that can make the furniture and will not use the market for buy it.
- Small FC will have to work them ass like crazy for gather enough gil for purchase an house.
- new player on legacy server will not earn a lot of Gil from the market, since the price are already really low.

however, it's true that we will make more money in the 2.1, but it's don't explain this price... punish poor people from legacy server because of some player extremely rich... is stupid!

Our group could probably raise the 8m -10m for the smallest, crappiest plot on our server but no one wants to now. Because we weren't hoping for a HUGE plot but something midsized where a group of 30 active players could hang out. The richest person in my FC has 2.1m. Some have under 100k. For a mid sized plot we're looking at 30m+

Why reduce teleportation rates, airship, ferry and repair costs if you then do this? Your logic eludes me. If players are spending too much gil on those things... how on earth do you justify this?

If costs of those I'm just glad I'm not on a legacy server... I'm not sure we'll be bothering as a group to do this. For what is essentially a way to just get players grinding it's deeply unreasonable.

Player expectations were poorly managed on this and the delivery is appalling.

It's especially brazen of them considering they'd spent the past 3 months telling us that all servers would have the same pricing. Whilst I understand that it's not exactly feasible, the 335mil price tag is literally ludicrous.

I too am part of a legacy FC that has been essentially saving since 2.0 launch. The phrase "Can't wait for our castle!" has been tossed around several times, and we have all been pretty set on that goal. Nor were we too naive (we thought) with regards to pricing, expecting a price tag ranging anywhere from 10-50mil as we weighed up both best and worse case scenarios. This... THIS, is just something else. The large house should have a large price tag. It should be a bragging right. It should be rare and provide e-peen etc. But even at 50mil, I would have thought that would be impressive enough.

Yoshi may have well undone all his hard work at redeveloping this game with this.

You're looking at a mid-sized plot for a small FC....

a small house is the size of an inn room, what's the point?

Does not having a FC House hamper you in any shape, way or form during game play? No

Yes, actually, it does.

The housing is *supposed* to be where people can actually have things like retainers, market boards, and the ability to craft all clustered together without having to run around like headless chickens. Without a house, we'll still be stuck having to waste time running between places, not to mention being vulnerable to the next hack that swipes money from people clustered around the retainer bell. Plus the annoyance of being spammed by everyone and their dog crafting there.

That much is just convenience (and a time-saver)... but the FC houses are *also* supposed to get the workshops for airships and such, which unless I've missed something, that is going to be the ONLY way to get that.

[Stormfeather]

And beyond that, even if it is a "luxury" item, it's one that's been hyped pretty much since launch as a Really Big Thing for ALL the players to look forward to, and a huge selling point for this patch. To then have them turn around and slap us in the face saying "HA hah! Just kidding players, it's only for a very very few of you... oh, and you guys who decided to start new on a legacy server to play with friends or even get a fresh start... double screw you!".... no wonder people are angry and disappointed.

The only way the average size free company could afford these large plots of land is if thier members hacked/RMTd/botted or came accross the 312 mil through other nefarious means. It is obscene and SE needs to re-evaluate their pricing.
