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

[Edellis]

You're on the cheapest server, of course your FC is excited. You can actually afford housing.

As far as I see, people cant decide if they're mad at the housing costs, or the "hidden motive" of SE to make it purposefully inaccessible because their servers will explode. Which i'm having a hard time believing, when they easily could have done a much better job by just limiting the amount of houses you can buy.

Server equipment doesn't come cheap and easy, and I don't think that, if the plots are all bought up in 3 months, SE will have added any extra servers to the ones already in use now. Me being on a cheap server, of course I don't think the costs are inaccessible for an active FC to afford. But that means they're accessible, and will eventually be in use when the patch isn't out for only 2 days time.

So, I'm not buying the whole "we want to save server stress" idea. It just doesn't make any sense to me. You can't buy more houses or set more decor than the instances servers allow you to create. It's already capped. So i'm just going to blame this issue on the costs and leave it at that. You guys are trying way too hard to make this a deeper issue. Yoshi's explanation makes sense, even if it's flawed.
