It appears Japanese players are in agreement.

Perhaps SE should publish a report on the actual state of the economy in the game. Maybe if we all knew just how much Gil was on a given server, it would make it easier to understand why the prices are set so high. It's a reasonable question to ask "isn't the price too high?".

Personally, I just think most people are a little upset because they thought that the 800k that we saw on the test/development version wasn't the actual result, and that it ended up being several times more than that. The prices will come down over time as the amount of gil in circulation comes down, I would think. For now, most of us will just have to look at the rich FCs with a hint of jealousy and contempt. Nothing like a little reality injected into your MMO.

That's a macro view, but what about the micro view of the economy. You'll see not that many ppl have millions upon millions of gil.

Billions of that gil is in the hands of the gil sellers ESPECIALLY on the Legacy servers. They seem to have doubled, perhaps even tripled their efforts. The /tells are almost CONSTANT. It is so bad that is disrupting my game. They are offering millions of gil for pennies. GET YOUR FREE COMPANY A HOUSE! This is going into their advertising. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% extra gil if you BUY TODAY!

The market places are crashing. Everything is selling for about a 4th, if not a 10th of what it was two days ago. Just moments ago, Quicktongue 3 prices were fluctuating around 12-17k each on Balmung server with the tier 4s between 70-90k. Newer servers the prices are 3 times this.

This is not a matter of being jealous of others, it's about taking a look at the big picture. This has hurt the game. I can't take two steps without having to /block someone. I only have a few slots left on my blocked list. And with the market crashing, it's creating an absolute disparity of epic proportions.

It's up close to 1400 now. You have to measure things relatively, of course. Compared to the number of likes on other threads on the forum, this is certainly a majority of forum users who feel that way. But sure, feel free to show me a thread with 'House prices are perfectly fine!' that has a comparable number of likes.

Great logic.

I bet all 600,000 check the forums every day and read that thread too.

There in lies the issue. The people that are fine or meh about the issue aren't going to be the ones to speak up/create tons of threads. They aren't trying to change anything or be heard. The number is still fairly low after you take out the number of gamers that just don't visit the mmo forums. The only accurate picture SE is going to get is going to come in 1-3 months when they look at the number of houses that have been bought.

There is also a lot of the player base that gives two shits about forums or patch notes. So shit hasn't even hit the fan yet until people go to try and buy a house. And its not going to take a month for SE to get their numbers, 1-2 weeks at the most and that's accounting for people having to get rank 6 to even purchase the land.

Not too bad of a turnout considering only about %1 of a game's playerbase makes use of forums.
