Delaying Housing vs Outrageous Housing Prices

[PlanckZero]

Believing that housing should be delayed is pretty much believing "If I can't have it, no one can."

That tends to be a train of thought adopted by children and psychopaths.

Except the current implementation is flat-out deceitful. We have quotes from previous live letters that directly contradict the prices in the patch notes.

What's worse? Delaying an unfinished update or going ahead with the update using an artifical barrier to stop customers actually engaging with it? The first causes disappointment; the second causes anger and frustration.

Call people names all you like, it was still a stupid move to launch this with those prices.

If the live letter quotes are the ones im thinking of, where yoshi-p says the gil from leveling 2-3 classes to 50 will buy you a land and/or house, he was talking about player housing, not free company housing. I'll agree, now that I've compared the prices between servers, that some servers are a bit expensive and that it needs to be looked at again by the devs though.

Nope it was fc housing. He said a few players in a small fc who have are at lvl 50 will be able to afford it.

And on the new servers, they can. Some servers with a ton of Gil wont be able to right off the bat, but with a little hard work *gasp* they too can afford the house.

If 5 people cant come up with 4 (in a few months, 2) million by the time they reach 50, They didn't take enough Allagan Pieces as rewards.

It's not a childish 'If I can't have it, no one can.', its really more of the fact its not ready for mass server use. If something like housing isn't honestly ready, the mature thing is to say so and then make it ready and present it then when it is. If a cake is only cooked half way through, its more absurd to want it in that condition than have a fully baked cake, unless you're a fan of raw batter and the risks it potentially harbors, I suppose.
