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

[Kaedan94]

Obviously Square Enix is catering to the wealthy & the RMT "Real Money Traders" that spent real money to purchase millions of gill so they can gloat in there million dollar housings!

I'm guessing you're not one who actually reads the patch notes. They made a note in bright red letters stating that if your housing purchase is made with RMT gil, it will be confiscated and action will be taken. If anything, the high prices are a GREAT way for them to catch people who are using RMT'd gil.

Off Topic: Your signature is a big lie. You only have 3 50s... Don't try to be something you're not.

Do you...really believe that?

Erm...I don't think you looked at her character sheet. She does have all 50s.

I'm more likely to buy a house in real life in the next few weeks than I am to buy a house in FFXIV in the next few months/years. With or without a number of people offering me money as an investment. Hell the analogy works because I'd still be getting a loan for my home, except here you're expecting investors to give an FC leader a full complete loan without any promise of return or interest for a house they have little to no control over and can lose at any time for any disagreement with said FC leader. It's so, ridiculous.

RMT buyers and cheaters will be busy with their over priced one plot mansion with no one else living next to them. Woopee!

Somehow Takeshi's challenge has turned into an mmo. Is this going to be the same thing as with the crafters, with an arbitrary(read:disproportionate) amount of Gil being stripped from them as well?

So any FC that manages to save up this exorbitant amount is somehow a part of RMT activity and must have the Gil stolen from them, just to be on the safe side?

So I'm still waiting for Yoshi or a dev to address the fact that a large portion of the community feels that we were lied to. Housing isn't ready. It has nothing to do with money, RMT, or the economy. Your content isn't ready so you released it and locked out 99% of the player base.
Please yoshi, stop lying to everyone. You are bringing great dishonor on yourself.

RMT gil gets confiscated, so nope, no one gets a house.

[DiamonteZ]

Here's a simple fix: 1 House per Free Company.

Why does a Free company need more than one anyway?

[Cor_Dirge]

but to the point, I'm part of a small free company of dedicated players (today we clocked around 14 hours each, we had some time off work and uni) however, even getting to 1mil would be a hurdle for us, the biggest fc on my server (Special Forces Zero) are 400+ strong and I believe even they haven't yet got a house due to lack of funds... there is no point showing off all the features (or even making them for that matter) for something no one has access to.

All in all I think this is just SE trying to get people to play mindlessly for months on end just to get a house while they rake in the sub fees and think of some better content to release before players get fed up with their 2-3 million gil that still cant buy a house.

a final point for lolz, I buy a sword irl, it costs me £200/$327.38 a house in the uk on average costs £242,415 so sprox 1200 swords to 1 house... I wonder, on ff14 how many swords could I buy for the price of 1 average priced house?
