4.2 Housing Update

I wouldn't call it unfair to give priority to established FCs, both big and small. It takes nothing to build up FC credits, and any FC that's been around and active for a long time will have plenty.

LMAO thats a joke right?? i know a fc that within 2 weeks had 300 ppl from ninja inviteing and well over a million credits cause everyone they had pretty much was sprouts doing msq...fc credits don't mean squat.. you wanna reward "established" fcs go by created date. 3 months 10% off 6 months 20% off a year 30% off

Coeurl loves it's unstable boom and bust FCs! My FC accomplished a lot, but we don't generate credits like a boom and Bust FC does.

Discounts are pointless when houses cost such a tiny amount of gil to start with.

2 weeks to get a million credits? So that means 5 months for your blind invite FC to have 10 million built up to buy a large house. I think that would give priority to those established FCs sitting on millions of credits already.

But not small to medium ones that don't throw newbies into the grinder. I'm the leader of a crafting/gathering FC. It will never be a large FC, because it is not meant to be. We do earn a lot of credits for our size, but 10 million is still a massive order. Some FCs are raid groups, so they aren't large either. Credits don't rain in every FC. The FCs that have that amount likely already have large houses on my server.

Yes, 10 million FC credits would take time for anyone to build up, that's the whole freaking point. What you're responding to, for context:

I'm wondering why it's so important for them to stop the player base from "preparing" for release? If this new system was fair to all, there would be no need to keep how to obtain a house so secretive. Clearly there is some prerequisite they don't want everyone to have a chance to obtain before more housing is released.

My guess is obscene amounts of FC credits along with gil to buy the new plots, before they are available for sale to individuals. 10 million credits isn't unreasonable to buy a large FC house, plus the 40M gil.
