GOOD JOB YOSHI P!

[Esrahadon]

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.

I think the main issue, at least from what I can ascertain is that, not only is the largest plot of land simply unobtainable even after six months of regular play. It is the fact that it was advertised as affordable and would be available at launch of 2.1. The second issue is that while the large houses do seem excessively expensive, the smaller plots of land are not worth their cost for reasons; they do not offer the capacity nor does it offer a way to be upgraded. If upgrading was an option. Most FC would buy the small or medium and then work up to large. But right now, it is simply a waste of content not to be enjoyed for at least 6 months. Can you imagine coil being there, ready to be played but you couldn't go in, because it had a gear check of i85? That isn't even hard to get. It's super easy. But godly time consuming. Meanwhile, here is this content.. No one is utilizing.

Since you "played the market" before and if you still think making gil is time consuming by doing that, I can only assume you are not doing it right at all. Or that's a typo, it should be "played by the market".

Sorry, are you implying playing the market for the price of a large plot is not time consuming? I realize youre being contrarian for the sake of justifying your opinion, but even at last month's 2 star prices it would take more time than you're willing to admit. And, yet again to reiterate, playing market is not difficult. No matter how much you wish to inflate your ego by pretending that making a couple dozen mil on the market was some sort off economic feat.

Can you list out what's challenging about this content? What boss do I have to kill that'll take the combined strength of at least 370 people in order to prove my worth to obtain a license to live in a city state?

I think you need to learn the variations that "challenge" connotes. It doesn't have to have anything to do with "difficulty" (which of itself, is also subjective). Time and monotonous actions can also be a "challenge" on the individual level to upkeep (group or solo).

I am glad to see your finally not listening to all the whiners out there and made Housing a challenge and a coordinated effort between members of an FC I Totally agree with the cost of housing and how it scales down over time.

Finally a reason to have some gil and a challenge/status element in the game. Keep it coming.

RMTing is a challenge? News to me.

Time and monotonous actions.

Are those descriptions desirable when used to describe a game? To me, at least, supporting something that can be described as 'monotonous' in my choice of entertainment is foolish.

When i see the words "2 star" I already knew you don't know how to play the market at all. And please don't say you know how to "play the market" when you clearly don't. I sitting at over 20m asset, and I never touch the 2 star market. There are tons of other stuff way profitable than that. Only lazy/dumb person will go to the market look for the most expansive item and think if something is most expansive, it must be most profitable?! That logic!

If everytime when people mention "farming/making gil" to you and the first thought you have is RMT. Then I am sorry.

20m, how cute. Did you pour your blood sweat and tears into the 'challenge' of making less than 2 dozen mil? Lol.

I craft avg. half hour per day. And I been stop trying to "make" gil for about a month now. And how cute, if you think 20m isn't much, then why are you complaining about the house price is high?
