GOOD JOB YOSHI P!

I giggle at all the people who look at raising gil on the scale large housing will require and don't think this is a challenge, and yet at the same time cry to the heavens and rage from their rooftops at how impossible, unfair, unjust, cruel, despicable, horrid, flawed, abhorrent, and disgusting it is.

Working a terrible economy is far far far more difficult than defeating any boss in the game right now, at the very least accept the fact it's a challenge, and instead of calling it bad, accept you only don't like it because you don't have enough time, don't have the smarts, or the drive to play the market. While you're at it you can learn that there are more than 1 types of challenges out there. Bashing your face into raid content is one type of challenge, and playing the crafting/trading/selling content is entirely another type.

"Oh but random person on the internet" you might say, "Show us your wisdom, show us your massive amounts of gil, you'll surely be buying a house right off the bat, amirite?!" Nope, you're not. The FC I'm in is still saving, and will be for a while. Or you may proclaim how impossible it is, and give reasons why the economy on your server is just oh-so-bad. I'm not interested. I give credit to legacy servers, theirs are truly terrible, and I feel very bad for all the new players who started there, because you guys truly did get screwed on this one.

Look, I can partially understand your point about working the economy being difficult or challenging. However, when picking up an MMO, I would hazard a guess that most people aren't picking it up thinking 'Wow, I can't wait to challenge the economy in this fantasy mmorpg!"

I will admit that there are probably some people that consider that a part of the challenge, but really, to make working the economy the barrier to housing is asinine. It locks out too many players from what is admittedly casual, fun content.

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the CT loot lock out? ^^
