If your FC can't afford to buy a house...

[Estellios]

It's okay. To be honest there are many, many ways to acquire gil in game such as :

1. spiritbinding
2. dungeon runs
3. tradeskills
4. selling philo mats
5. farming tradeskill supplies

Guess what stuff no one is going to be buying because most of the population is not going to be spending a dime on anything due to the housing costs being so high. The issue is not that it will take some time to get. The problem is that on the higher cost servers like the Legacy server I am on, you are currently SOL because markets are the only way to get the money needed for housing in any reasonable amount of time.

That money won't be there though as, like I said, people will not want to spend much. Even worse, the groups that are rich enough to afford housing likely have a huge amount of people and will be self-sufficient so the furniture market will be tiny.

The 20k-per-day for doing battle content is great but only viable for new, non-legacy servers. For those of us on more expensive servers having to pay 10x as much it still won't help us out much. As a FC leader it worries me that it could be months till we own even the crappiest house when we were looking forward to building it up as a group.
