Suggestion in Pricing New Housing Wards Plots

[Ayerinn]

You are so sure that you speak like an official SE speaker/Developer,

If you have any evidence of that it will never happen show it or don't bother saying such stuff with no evidence.

I have no connections with SE - only common sense. There are other ways to add gil sinks - changing the price of an old gil sink is just not something you do...you ALWAYS look at something like that from the perspective of a new player. Like I said - ISHGARD wards are up for debate - they can easily justify the shiny new area as more expensive.

So do you have some agenda? Are you afraid that your precious housing owner snowflake status is going to go away someday or something? There is no point in putting housing out of reach for more people just because there is more money in the economy. You build new, flashy, more expensive things to entice the rich, you don't @#$@ over the less fortunate unless you want to lose players.

Considering that SE's usual M.O. is to lower the difficulty of acquisition later in an object's life cycle I'm frankly surprised that they haven't done anything yet to "nerf" housing, lol.

Housing already has a built in sort of "nerf". The prices go down with time.

I already have my fc home and a personal one, but I would rather prices stay as they were then hiking them substantially regardless of how much gil players may have now.
If we need a gil sink then add a few perky mounts ingame for 20M a pop.

Dont keep even more people away from a feature that has been half implemented and thought out in design for 2 years now.

I dont think its fair to anyone to jack the price up from what we all paid beforehand.

Sadly there wont be enough to cover demand anyway on the full servers whether they were 100M or 5M, hope I am wrong for all those still waiting , just a gut feeling though.

Isgard housings should be instances, it will feel isolated but I'll allow huge number of players to get one

Right? Where are people making all this money? My income as a pure PvE player has stayed pretty much the same since a year ago... maybe I should get into crafting.

Same. :/ Husband and I are at 1.8 million, trying to save for 7-8 needed for a medium house, but... that is a lot of money. I think the rich players forget that... not everyone is rich.

*sigh* Kind of like real life.

I disagree. In mmorpg, no character born rich. Work for it

You misunderstand. I said, "I think the rich players forget that not everyone is rich" - which is exactly what happens in real life.

Chill down I only asked for your source,

Houses are in limited numbers + high demand = high price, basic economy rule.

My thread is general suggestion, if you want it a personal argument between you and me because you believe I actually own a house (which by the way as far as I can see you have no evidence of such claim) be my guest.

P.S. You noticed I left your quote blank, because the forum rules that a reply is not longer than 1000 characters, not that I need to quote your whole useless reply.

I would also really like to know where people are getting enough money that the 10 million for a medium house (if you dare wait for the price to drop) is considered chump change and not a massive investment.

I'm sitting at 2.5m at the moment, and facing a lot of expenses or days of farming to get my master crafting books. Also the master II books from ARR, never got around to those.
