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

[Huxer]

Why is FC housing attached to individual wealth in the first place?!?!? Don't we have free company credits? Why on earth is this begin settled in such a ridiculous fashion? Let me tell you Yoshi, you won't have to worry about me or my FC increasing our daily amount of Gil earned to try to get a small FC house for 50+ guys cause guess what, I quit!

This thread: People complaining about instant gratification as usual. No surprise. This community is just the best...

[lebirath]

NO, it's MUCH worse that that .. this pricing means SE have PLANNED on 20% of FCs not being able to afford it after THREE months, so your analogy is wrong and should be comparing housing to an INDEFINITE DELAY!


LOL, are you being deliberately obtuse or what?

SE can simply make the deeds NON-TRADEABLE for a period of months and/or until the house had been upgraded by x%.

exactly what i thought...
unless they think that different wealthy FC are getting the plots, which after i took a bit is pry what they r thinking. e.g they have x plots available, they r x number of FC can get them, so they make it that most cant get them. which kind of no make sense bc thise are gonna get them faster anyway... i dunno..

There is honestly nothing to spend gil on because all the decent gear is purchased off currency you farm from duties so how do people not save their gil? Like what are they spending their gil on these days? If you reuse your old gear from level 1-50, why do you still need to spend your gil? How are you not without gil? Just wondering. I'm guessing food?

Can't speak for everyone else but repairs and teleports eat up significant chunks of my gil.

...As a veteran of 1.0, first on Mysidia, then on Gungnir and now on Balmung, I have only 300,000 gil to my name, and while I don't believe I represent anyone else, I also don't believe that the vast majority of my server's population has that much more than I do. Almost everyone I talked to doesn't, and I talk to many. I'm aware this is not a valid statistic, but it's the best I can come up with readily...

This is very confusing to me. It may have to do with server econ scaling but I have been playing the game literally for one week and I have made at least 40-50k gil easily. How can a veteran player only have roughly 6 times as much gil as me?

but teleports and repairs are hardly ever that much gil. Like you can easily make that money back. How is 500-5000 gil a day expensive?

That's all they are. This content may as well not exist. Most won't participate.

All I see is an excuse from you for not stepping up. Work towards something nice.

In 2.0, it was relatively easy to make money from 1-49 through questing, but opportunities to make gil dry up somewhat at 50, especially since repair costs start becoming a major expense. With the addition of new sources of money, this should be less of an issue.

forgive me if i do not understand this.. but if the best housing is too expensive, wouldnt that just cause the more richer fc to buy all the medium and small plots even more?

Everyone gets ~2ØØ-3ØØK on their way to 5Ø. It slows down after.

Is it really hard to make that money back? 5000 gil is a lot? I'm truely curious. Because its takes about 15 minutes to make that back in my experience.
