Housing market value & insane prices?

[Aeyis]

Or worse. And believe me, it actually is worse.

I think you would do well not to underestimate others dedication towards working the market.
The items that were listed as example might be only few, but they are very good examples of items that sell well nearly everywhere.
Based on those prices the knowledgable people (that would be Gillionaire and MomomiMomi) accessed that your economy is very bad. I could only agree with them. If you notice my first post the first sentence actually has me asking what the prices are like on Masamune. In fact pretty much all posts from everyone on that page are related to that.

You have to realise, that while your advise not to talk about knowing the situation on another server is certainly sound advice; we did inquire.
And naturally if the prices tend to be extremely difference a mild disbelieve is not out of the question.
The same can be said with the responses from a larger population server when finding it strange that others find the prices for housing ''okay''
You too have to consider what the others perspective in this discussion might be.

That's the biggest problem. They both go together hand-in-hand, so it's really all entirely relevant. You're being very quick to dismiss a lot of arguments that are definitely related to the problem at hand.

The thing is: and I've said it several times now. The main problem is not the housing, it is your servers economy. I believe you might want to talk to people from Balmung, who would love to have any plot available regardless of price or housing; and they too are a high population server like yours. If your economy was not such a huge issue you might well not even have a problem with housing right now..

You may think I don't read very well, I think you don't reason very well.

You are entitled to think that. However, my assement of your reading ability is not a opinion so much as an observation. It's not that I disagree with what you reply, you see. It is just that it replies to something I did not actually say?
My reasoning tho, it could definately use improvement; but I do try.

While Masamune's economy is flat on the ground, and it's very difficult to make money off the market, the server housing prices are rated in the highest tier:

Housing prices are only related to size of population at the time they made those brackets. See my earlier suggestion about it. (the clarification of which is in the big post I edited on this page, in response to the OP)

Prices have lowered since, but plot availability is depleted, apart from large plots which now range from 35,000,000 to 43,750,000

We have lowest revenues but we're forced to pay the highest price.

Which again, is because your servers economy is at fault.



The point being. The big evil here is the economy on Masamune being extremely bad. All of points made in the OP about housing prices will pretty fall on deaf ears if you present them as suggestion, because many people on other large population servers (with no plots left) would glad pay 30-40m...if there were plots to be had.
The main issue that most have with housing these days, appear to be lack of available plots; rather then the prices themselves. (altho prices may be included if we asssume small plots)


The way I see it; if you want to suggested an improvement for your situation towards SE; you've 2 choices. Either focus on Masamunes economy being bad and it making it impossible to use features such as housing. (a very valid concern considering Masamunes economy)
Or, well that is it really; frankly. The OP has too many easily disputed arguments in it. When it could be a well writting post about Masamunes bad economy, and the effects it has on the housing market for that server.


Rather then trying to argue with me (and trying to refute that you arent reading posts clearly), should you not help the OP in putting forth a great suggestion?
