Why are houses so expensive :(

[Blackcanary]

It is insulting. I have a full time job that I've been at for 10 years, live in my own home, have family and friends and still have all my crafters and miner/botanist at 60. I went from never having much gil to saving up 7.5 million before the patch hit. I actually spent 4,250,000 on my plot (on one that opened up the day before the servers went down) to avoid the Black Friday that I knew would happen (and it did).

What is interesting to me is this poster is an English teacher, but cannot seem to write proper sentences.

Yes I am a English Teacher, I also have dyslexia.
I've worked very hard to get to where I am thank you very much.
Like I stated in another post. If you are offened again I am truly sorry. You have completely miss read where I am coming from. You are also reading to hard into what I had said. In that post I was trying to explan where I am coming from. I was not trying to offend anyone in my post.

Well, then you surely know the value of working hard for something, right? Those of us that earned the gil to buy a house did so by working hard for it (minus the small miniority of people who buy gil). So, why are you here complaining about your lack of gil and asking for a free house? Just because this is a video game, that makes it different?

Like many others have in the past and I am sure many others will do in future, I was venting.

Like I stated in my OP.

" End of rant."

Yes your correct, I do understand the value of hard work.

This is a General Dissucsion thread. There is no where that's.

"You are not allowed to make threads where you are venting"

Not that I know of anyway.

In my honest opinion I do not think personal houses which are small should be bought. I believe they should be for free.
This would make it avaliable for everyone who wants a house to be to have one. This is just my own opinion.

I hope I have answered your questions.

Or am I not allowed to vent on here?

And for the people that have given me sound advice, thank you. You have given me a lot to think about.

I hate to be that guy but I'll say it anyway, if you can barely manage an hour or two a day then this game just might not be for you buddy.

Housing especially, this is something that's only really available for the more dedicated player. I'm sorry, but that's how it is.

I see where you are coming from. Even with what everyone has stated it may still take a few months before I can truly get enough money to buy one.
I don't want to buy gil that to me is cheating. No offence to anyone reading this that did buy Gil to get a house. Each to their own do what ever makes you happy.

I bought my house just on culinarian and fishing alone. I had like 2 fishing items and 3 food items I gathered and crafted exclusively. Took a few months but got it done.

Meo could you please tell me what food did you cook and what did you gather?
Was it mainly just the mat's that you needed to cook the food?

I can see ops point but after struggling through leveling dols to 60, that cost has to have its just rewards too. It may suck but i honestly say push through it 30/45 min or your play time a day, eventually youll hit 60 and can -secret technique here-. Hard work pays hard gil, get your 200k for 45 minutes of play at that point per day if that, so now dol is very fun. Mog houses like xinwould be nice too, but as the current system is set, suffer through something, not long, but consistently a little bit a day.

i wont say what im fishing cause its netting me 1-2m per day and i like that, but i will say just hitting 60 you need to find your own way on the market board! Definitely not instant. Problem is alot hit 60 and arent happy with the OBVIOUS things to go after for gil then quit when the work isnt worth the gil. Pipiras is definitely junk compared to what some are making so much on for fishing for example. Research, be dis satisfied, then keep researching, youll get there. For me it was very unexpected and came accross it from bordum. Shiz happens

Also, could not have researched what im doing right now either no matter how good your google skill is. People keep them secret in a way that you would stumble upon legendary weapons in FFX with no guide or internet. it all just takes time. My suggestion to research was to just get familiar with playing the eco.

If it helps any, they're planning on releasing apartments in 3.4 that are instance. I'm sure it will be significantly cheaper, but I'd still suggest to save as much as you can, it could range from somewhere between 500k-1M (I can't see them making it more than 1 M but you never know.)

Not sure how you struggling to afford a small house. A member of my FC has saved enough for a small house by just doing storyline and selling gear rewards. My son has also just hit 53 first time round and already has 1.3 mill. Gil is really easy to come by and stockpile, the problem you are having is how you spend it.

Btw my son doesnt live with me and only plays once a fortnight.
