Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

[Kallera]

Though it is expensive, I think housing should be an achievement where players work hard to earn the gil, it should take some effort to buy a house. Players who laze around should make some effort to make gil.

Gee, I do remember making a considerable amount of gil...in 1.0. Whatever happened to that, I wonder?

Oh right! 90 percent of it was removed!

I get that the availability is more of a problem than the price. I'm not exactly dirt poor, but I've been hovering between being able to getting a small, and not getting a small, and I'm certainly feeling jerked by the chain here...the same chain I'll likely be tied to should I buy a house that to the chance of it getting revoked.

"Laze around"...I have words for this,and some of them aren't for children to hear. I haven't been very happy with what's upcoming in 2.4, and this is one more thing I will not be looking forward to.

Thanks for this Raine, please don't take any of this as directed at you.

This response is getting old already. I still don't get it how SE can't end it. Why not concentrate on this problem first? does it mean housing can be entirely free without this lame excuse rearing its ugly head at your subscribers? I know someone will say its a very difficult problem to control, maybe even positive for SE profit wise. But tying every in game transaction to RMTs is suppose to be not our problem. I will even be happy if an entire expansion be a hunt that involves bringing down suspicious botters, gil sellers and cheaters in exchange for a log. Make gardening yields per harvest double/triple in amount and removing chocobo raising from FC housing will be an optional solution to this server limitation. All players need is not to have limited access in "every" aspect of the game.

This, a thousand times this.
