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

[CrystalW]

People who had lots of money from 1.0 made even more when 2.0 came out. They were the ones who could easily buy the philo items to make the craftable i70 gear, which was VERY profitable. So the result is that a minority of people holds huge amounts of gil while the majority has way less.
I'm not interested in complaining about gil, because there is (was?) nothing to spend it on beside materia for the little you can meld, food when you don't have gathering/cooking, repairs which are now repaid by the gil dropped by dungeon mobs... I don't even bother making any tbh, it's such a pain to make/gather something and then get undercut on the MW because people see your prices and can adjust theirs for free, so they just sit at the bell all day (cause they've got nothing else to do in game?).
In my opinion, this obsession with keeping the economy healthy (can we even call it that?) is just not the way to go. New players have a hard time making gil because there isn't, for example, any junk item to sell to the NPC, there really isn't many ways to make (and I meant actually create) money, there's just quests, gil from mobs, npc'ing (for 1 gil!!).... I think there should be more ways to make money but also more gil sinks such as consumables (not those useless potions with high cooldowns...) or even vanity items from NPC such as gear or even furniture.
The team is so scared of RMTs but at the same time, they put housing for such a high price... I personally won't put anything towards an FC house because even at 50% of what it is, I think it's a rob. Depending on the price of personal housing, I might get that. But how about granting people something very small to begin with and then allow them to buy something bigger if they prefer, so that the ones with very little money can at least have something? On another note, all that furniture you added, people will spam craft trying to get a share of it, but it won't sell because no one has a house.....
Your prices on FC housing is just a way to create a money sink, but you don't think of the 90% of the community that can't even afford a small piece of land
