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

[Darus]

I talked with my guild on this topic and we had actually came to a great decision on how they should do this.

Solution 1
Limit Free companies to only 1 Land Plot Purchase per month.

Solution 2
Limit a Free Companies Land Plot Purchase to 1 land plot for every X amount of players in the Free Company.

Both offer the ability to for a Free Company to own multiple plots while regulating total purchases at any given time.

Does an FC even NEED more than one house? I kinda feel it's a bit pointless to own more than one house. I can only see a big FC trying to buy out an entire instance for no reason one day (would be kinda cool, I must admit), but having more than one doesn't make sense.

I figure a better way is to restrict to 1 house per FC and restrict house plot size to number of players available to ensure that more small houses are bought than large.

One house for each zone and stuff would be fun to try also, so there are ways but buying out all the land at launch of 2.1? it's unrealistic and doubt anyone was even thinking of that from beginning... although like you said would kinda be cool to see it in action. Hi welcome to (FC name)'s ward lol

Sorry - but I actually quite disaggree with this. The price should be "prohibitive" enough (and no - I don't mean current "smoked-up" prices but the realistic ones about 10 - 20 times less) and introducing additional obstacle like amount of FC members will put small tightly knit FCs to dissadvantage. Why should be small FC restricted from purchasing Medium or Even Large plot / house if they want to and can afford it (again in the realistic pricing)? And for those saying why would small FC want / need that:

- Because they can / want
- To be able to have the Workshop (Only possible in Large - main reason for me actually)
- Because they want to be able to expand their membership base in the future if needed without wasting money by loosing majority (if not all) of the investments in the smaller property and furnishings

Also - I'm not that much sure about "purchasing" the FC plot with FC credits (only) as that would (again) put in dissadvantage small FCs or those who concentrate mainly on crafting as those barelly generate enough credits. Maybe some reasonable combination of gil & FC credits (let's say up to 100 000 credits) would be acceptable as you would gain about that just by leveling to Rank 6 unless indeed you've used it for company actions.
