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

[Sunarie]

I dont see me putting words in ANY person's mouth nor being offtopic. That's just plain rude.
The problem is just that their Server has way too much gil.
You wouldn't know if it is one person hoarding it or him/her being in the minority of the poor people.

And hey, I would take a price slash too anyday, but then people will complain again if they reduce the prices proportional because of our server being too cheap

Sorry, but you are. Saying people want things handed to them is doing exactly that, seeing as absolutely no one has said it. You don't know whether they are spending it either, and not even Yoshi knows if they will even spend it on housing. I can tell you that people don't obtain a ton of money, and become rich (be it in game or real life) by spending it all the time.

A lot of people got money through something that was overlooked going from 1.0 to 2.0, and which was really a bit of a dishonest thing to be doing. A lot of gil on that server is also likely RMT (I don't believe they got the mass bans that we suffered from a few months back because their players were able to bring gil in from 1.0, so people having a lot wasn't as suspicious). You don't punish players because a few are misbehaving. It isn't good business. That's it for me posting right now though.. seeing as I can actually play now that I have the game redownloaded.

I mentioned AH prices, as that is generally a fair indicator of gil in circulation. The more gil in circulation the less each individual gil is worth, and the higher price things are. So unless things on the legacy servers are for sell on the AH for 5x (or more) higher, then the circulation just isn't there to support the price difference.
