An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[Cubester]

Tons of people (like you) are whining. Don't get why you say they're being pushovers.

Come to a thread, provide decent arguments, raise valid concerns, get called a whiner.
Cool man.

says... you? Maybe they want it to be Endgame content. You're just making up something in your head and trying to push it as fact.

Then maybe they should've advertised it as such, and not as something that would be attainable and enjoyable by everyone in the game!

Edit: I'm also still waiting for an answer on my previous question.

If it's that important then you should be happy to farm and work for your important goal.

you make me count to 10... but your trollish comment aside, i have been farming and working and saving and selling and choco-porting and walking and banking my gil since i was able to in Beta 4. i have wanted a house since i knew it was a possibility. i went as far as to make my own solo FC in hopes that it might be obtainable. it was a shot in the dark and no, you wont see me crying for the prices to drop for people like me. but bottom line is the reasoning behind the cost is aggravating. especially for those that are in a decent sized group, who have been saving and finds housing to be important. i am holding on to hopes that this will not be the approach for personal housing because that is MY end-game.

Again, SE has HARD DATA [....]

Quite simply, Legacy worlds have more gil because they have players that have been playing the game for years longer than everyone else. It's not illegitimate or requiring special consideration. Non-legacy worlds have different amounts of gil because some have more population going through gil-generating game content, and some were added weeks after launch.

If SE noticed more FCs could afford housing at first on some worlds, they should have put in more housing areas for those worlds. The graduated pricing seems to indicate that SE is limiting housing areas to the same number for each world, because they are doing this despite the hardship uneven pricing causes most of their customers.

IMHO.

If FC housing isnt casual content then they got bigger issues. This isnt something every player has control over, its not something that aids progression it is vanity and nothing more, In noway can that be considered end game content you have farther proven you have absolutly no logic what so ever. I am disabled i run 3 character got nothing better to do, is what it is. spend most by day farming and running dungeons, that is still alot of gil for me to give out to something i have limited control over. People that have school work etc get what 4hrs a day if do nothing else. There is no logical balance to that, You are simply a troll or happen to be an ls that got enough gil to carry you cause 3 lvl 50s startin in november your not doing it yourself thats for sure. Though gotta say FC housing as endgame content has gotta be that biggest LOLbs ive heard.

The main reason there is gil accumulated so much more on Legacy servers is because things were expensive in 1.0.

Even after a 90% gil-reduction "some" these people still have alot of gil accumulated. Why? Because even though gil is the virtual currency of the game's world, it really serves no purpose at all in ARR. The only things people buy are bought to be lazy and cut-corners. That is completely the fault of the Dev Team and not the Players. The Dev Team chose to lower gil costs on teleportation, ferries, repairs, dark matter, etc.; and then they say these same Players have too much gil and therefore aren't worthy to pay an equal housing price as the other servers?

I like how his fear was "if its too cheap people will buy up all the lots"

if you can only buy 1 lot\fc then each fc would buy the biggest they could get.

1 fc buying a 20 million house takes 20 million out of the game, because im pretty sure only 1 or 2 fc's will be stupid enough to throw away that kind of gil

100 fc's buying a 5 million lot takes 500 million out of the game.... nuff said!

[HEC]

Again, SE has HARD DATA and you have... your imagination I guess(?) when it comes to numbers of players and how much gil they have.

You're still waiving your hard "data" around and defend UNDEFENDABLE! And where are the data saying how many of those "rich" players / FCs are actually planning to SPEND their money on the FC housing? There is the major flaw in your argument - nobody knows that, not even SE with their hard data - so please stop whiteknighting them. If you're happy - good for you - enjoy the new content and let others to express their deep dissapointment with the horribly designed housing prices.

b-b-b-b-b-but there is only enough land to sell 10 houses! When they sell out, there will be no more houses! Ever!

(/sarcasm)

Open more damn housing instances SE. This isn't rocket science.

Gonna post a long winded rant on my behalf about my feels on the subject at hand. Sadly since it's so long it most likely will have to be like 3 separate posts but going to try to make it back to back hopefully ><; so there's nothing in between.

[Darcon]

My original post was too long so i'll but the basics in, prices should be cheaper all around, should only be a little higher for some servers not dramaticly higher. gold seller, bots and buyers gil should not count towards a total server amount (concidering it will be taken away anyways, or should be at least) i'm not legacy but even i can tell the prices for them are insanely high. We should be thankful (or something like it) for the amount of stuff in the patch.
