FC house prices is a step in the right direction for this game! Less casual friendly.

Hence there IS NO new money pour into the game. Try to think before posting.

Except, you know, the tens of thousands of dungeon runs by players every week, and all the allagan pieces sold to npc, and the leves used by people to lvl up....

You know, the thing that you said people should do(and is already doing)?

Think before posting indeed.

Clueless as Ethir is, he actually almost has a point - gil sink/fountain ratio in FFXIV is out of balance - mostly because repairs, teleport costs and market board fees (the latter being the greatest offender) eat up most of the "fresh" income, and barely any gil is truly generated once you're done with the main story line + side quests.

Yup, that I definitely agree - but adding a huge sink that will do little other than encourage hoarding and depressing what little economic activity are left (ironically not unlike what happened to Japan for several decades) is exactly what you shouldn't do.

It will really come down to the amount of gil injection in 2.1, but I don't have much faith that SE is competent enough to strike a good balance based on their past record. This kind of housing price would be acceptable if there was the economic foundation to support it, but I don't see that happening in 14 anytime soon, if ever.
