Balmung is Homeless on Christmas' Eve. Is this really what you wanted, Yoshida-san?

Not True.

The cash my small FC on Durandal has amassed was made without using the market boards. We made this gil from quest rewards, levequest rewards and main scenario rewards. If I recall correctly, those rewards are the same on your server as they are on everyone else's. We have 1.2 million. So, a small house on YOUR cheap-cheapety-cheapest server is exceedingly attainable.

The costs wern't scaled to quest rewards leves and scenarios...they were scaled to the player economy and amount of gil in circulation between active players.

Besides, 1.2 million is only 30% the cost of the lowest plot. Your FC has a ways to go.

They were scaled to amount of gil on the server. Absolutely not to gil in circulation. The Market Board is an excellent indicator of gil in circulation. The more gil in circulation, the higher the prices because the "value" of each individual gil is less when there is more gil available. As I've stated before, their Market prices are not any different from ours. Meaning they can make the same amount (or very close to) from the Market as we do. Problem is their servers have a few people (Yoshi cited a whooping 10) who have over 100 million gil. There's nothing to support that those individuals are putting the total of their gil back into the economy for all to benefit from.

I'm not saying I think the prices are just right at the moment, but they are intentionally set up to go down over time. They are/were simply concerned with not having enough space initially. They admitted that the pricing particularly on legacy worlds was excesesive and that's why they're going to scale it back down. The first price drop (ignoring the regular devaluations) is to take place at the end of the month (next week), at which

Honestly, that would have sat a lot better with me -if- they'd been honest with it up front (as far as my server goes, still wouldn't be okay with legacy prices). Instead they lied about housing costs drastically, and continued to hype the feature as the main part of 2.1, and to hype it as if it would be easy for everyone to get access to. That led to false expectations that could never be close to being met with the patch.. and that's going to anger people.

They mislead their customer base... that I am definitely not okay with, and I expect them to hold true to their promises. I don't blame players one bit for being upset, and I fully support people complaining about this one. Customer trust is a huge thing, you don't go and do something that causes a lot of players to lose it.

I have serious doubt about that part, it sure sounded like SE's definition of "in circulation" includes the amount that sits in people's wallet, which is an extremely flawed position to take.
