They are very insulting and disrespectful to the players and their time and effort. Add to that the discrimination that is going on between different server groups, and it is outrageous.

    Let's make sure they learn, if not the easy way (listening to us on the forums), then the hard way (nobody is buying).
    While you're busy not buying a plot of land, everyone else will be busy trying to scrape together money, and buying a house when they can afford it. Sorry to break that to you.

    Also, there's nothing "insulting" or even worse, "disrespectful" to me about this. And discrimination? Please. To get so overly upset is childish, and embarrassing.

    personally I won't be boycotting housing both because I couldn't afford it and because I couldn't care less about having one. What I do care about is the impact this rather ridiculous price will have on server economies. One of two things is about to happen, either;

    A. huge amounts of gil will be sucked out of the economy in land sales and people saving for land sales

    or

    B. huge amounts of gil is about to flood the economy as people give up on their house dreams and start spending their gil.

    SE can't possibly know which of the two is going to happen which suggests to me they have no idea whatsoever about server economy management. This is both worrying and disheartening.

    The cheaper houses, imo are pretty affordable.

    A Mansion should cost a metric ton of money, as it does in the real world. There wouldn't be anything special about having a mansion in FFXIV if everyone had one. On our server a 1st class small plot is 8 mil. We are half way there in 2 weeks, doesn't sound to bad to me tbh.

    Technically, My FC membership has the money for a modest plot on our server RIGHT NOW....but who the hell would buy something at premium cost when others on other servers get the same item for up to a 1/3'd the cost? That alone, makes this totally unfair and a reason to boycott. Until prices are the same on all servers, and until we know all the rules/stipulations/costs involved, my FC will be purchasing nothing.

    Furthermore, in our FC's opinion the land isn't worth even it's '50% off if no one buys it til then' value. 10 mil*for the most humble lots? Really? ...a lot that will support a house the size of my INN room shared by me and 40-80 of my closest friends...really?

    This is all further compounded because they gave us a FC group grind WITHOUT any reason to be in a FC for the average player in the first place (the buffs...you can't control anyway as a normal member aren't really worth the hassle of 'hey we're saving for a house give us gil!'...oh you joined for a Static Coil/Tower crew? Sorry our statics are full...just find other people on the server to do that with)

    If the really wanted this to be so pricey, then they really should have come up with actual Free Company Content that could be done by more than 4-8 people in the FC at a time...not a hey, you have no reason to feel loyalty/pride towards our FC, but we need you to loyally donate all your dungeon earnings each week to our coffers.

    * Starter Lots on my Server are 20 Mil, which supposedly will depreciate to 10 mil after 3 months if no one purchases.

    IF you disagree so strongly about this do the right thing and UN-SUB that will hurt them more.

    The only reason the price is so high is they don't have the server capacity to Pardon the pun House everybody.

    I think people are failing to realize just how much money the new quests and dailies are going to dump into the economy. 20k a day per person, at a minimum. If there are 3,000 people playing actively on a server, that's 60,000,000 gil in one flipping day.
