Final Thoughts on the Housing Rage

[Quesse]

I have seen so much complaints about the housing system and the pricing and I am just in awe of people really.

So basicly you're saying its wrong that people were the most excited about housing.

Well thankfully that's just your opinion.

Carry on everyone.

If you think RoD is the only nerf to jobs, you need to read the patch notes again. SMN is losing thunder. That's a 10% nerf right there. Virus immunity will change the strategy people use for various encounters in coil. 10% damage drop on BfB and IR lowers damage output a decent bit for BRD. WHM holy down to 200 potency and medica2 half potency but twice duration (meaning burst effectiveness is lost in favor of sustained healing, but a lot of people think this was a stupid idea -- I personally feel it was a bandaid to avoid fixing healing agro issues).

I'm aware that CT will supposedly be fixed on a later patch, but they hyped something up and released an incomplete version. Something they previously said was already near completion when the game was released. Hence why I said they were MISLEADING.

Various times over the last month, Yoshida has said dailies would take about an hour. And this morning he said you'd get about 4500-5000 gil from 6 beast tribe dailies. You also get like 24 myth from it. I can run WP in 10-15 minutes depending on group and pull 30 myth and 3k gil (chests supposedly will drop gil now too? So maybe more gil). And yeah, I'm aware there's a few 'other goodies', but it's all cosmetic.

I don't usually have lag spikes, but a lot of people have routing issues from their ISP to the game's server and there's still no solution in sight. And I mean thousands of players. Not to mention anyone living in Australia trying to play on an NA/EU server, and a big chunk of EU players.

Try again, please. I'm not trying to be rude to you, so please don't be rude in reply. I'm just trying to make you understand why people are frustrated with this patch and realize that it's not JUST because of housing. Housing is definitely getting the most attention on these fora, but it's not the only thing concerning players.

The price is 1 thing, but making the prices so high so that most people won't be able to get 1 due to their servers not being handle the load is not good and is poor planning.

I'm glad that I haven't donated gil to my FC yet. Maybe people are angry due to donating gil already, only to find out it was a waste

[Zumi]

My thoughts are, well the game has been out long enough now that gil enters the economy at the same rate on every server. Therefore the housing prices should be the same on every server. Its like I am getting penalized for having a popular server where more people have gil saved up. The 1% mega rich people aren't for the most part won't drop all their funds on something like this. They didn't get to where they are by making dumb buying decisions.

Yes everyone was excited and now everyone won't be able to get a house on day 1 like they dreamed of doing, but so what? There is more to this patch than one addition to the game!

Really, i don't want to belive you are so blind/stupid as to not being able to see that THE WHOLE THING is about price gap.

4 for some and 40 for others?
Do rewards and server money incomes also share that 1/10 ratio?
Perhaps mats/materia prices share that 1/10 ratio?
DO YOU BELIVE that players in OUR servers have 10 times more money than the others?? I'm seeing people here saying they've farmed 10million in one month, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Thats 5 times more than what i've got left after farming for 2 years.

Prices on all servers are almost equal.
Money farming rate is pretty much the same on all servers.

Do you think it makes sense that because a person has begun to play with an amount of money that can be obtained in 2 weeks now he deserves his FC house to be priced 600 million??

You seem lunatics defending the indefensible.

[Eightbit]

I fully understand that the devs want to make something that people have to work long term on obtaining and not another do once and walk away thing. I'm also sure the more expensive houses will get adjusted prices as time goes on.

[MarkisKyler]

Yep pretty much sums my thoughts up too. People get so worked up over one thing and forget all the other new stuff. Either housing costs, nerfs or bitching that despite the new stuff the content isn't adding anything beyond coils. I think all the new stuff is great. Looking forward to doing it all asap.

Really, i don't want to belive you are so blind/stupid as to not being able to see that THE WHOLE THING is about 4mil for some and 40mil for others.

I think she was talking about that there was more to do than just housing

Not prices

She was talking about other shit i just stopped reading when my blood started to boil, yes. But also she was talking about prices rage.
And that's why, among with the title of this post, i thought it would be good to point out where the rage is really coming from.
