WHAT?! 625 Million for first class House?

[axemtitanium]

You there! Get out of here with your logic! It might dent some people's entitled attitudes.

I know crazy right? SE clearly stated that housing would cost 3-4 times how much you make from 1-50. I earned 300k going from 1-50 and I'd say I'm about average. 3-4 times that is about 1 million gil. If I donated that money to my FC and every other member of my FC did the same, we'd be able to buy a house of the appropriate size for the company.

20 people = small company = 20 million gil = small house
75 people = medium company = 75 million gil = medium house
250 people = large company = 250 million gil = large house

Look, I don't really wanna get into it with you, but the problem for many is this simple:

My friends and I have played this game since 1.0 launch. We saved, we worked together, we played fair. We STLL can't logically afford a 'good' house on our server. So while I agree that 'not everyone should have a big house' A FC of 40 active members should be able to afford a 'big house' after 2+ years of playing the game....without totally bankrupting themselves. I don't need to be house poor.

No, a "big" FC should be able to afford a "big" house. 40 members is considered "medium". You should be able to afford a "medium" house if everyone puts in a decent amount of effort.

No, they shouldn't.

Housing is new content. Just like every other piece of new content, it is not meant to be consumed on day one. This something to work towards as of 2.1, that's why they've balanced the prices as they have. Any Gil you've accumulated before hand is a head start.

I was really looking forward to this... great that SE thinks that they should exclude like 99% of the servers from housing.

For me housing always was something you had just for fun, something you could spent some time on between the repetitive raids/quests and since i did quit SWG in 2005, i was looking forward to something like that again.

But well, SE did decide that i dont deserve that fun.

And yes, i know, in 6 months personal housing will come and if everyone crosses their fingers, they will even have reasonable prices (if we have alot of luck...) but after 3 years of waiting for improvements of FFXIV, im really sick of waiting...

There have been big, bold lies already posted in this thread, but I'd like to vote this one as the biggest and the boldest.

Actually, she was pretty damn spot on. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but everything of real value is hard to sell these days. The few things that do sell regularly, good luck not being undercut.

Please explain to me how is it easy to make money in this game?
Without forcing myself to level to 50 on a craft to provide very good Gil.
I can try to take Fleece and co. but y'know we have teleporting shits
all over the place. You also risking yourself to be banned of having a high amount of gil.
So yeaaaaaaaaah, it's not that easy.
Be a RMT I guess or hitch rides with them, derp.

If you don't feel like putting in the work...

Guess my FC isn't getting a house...

20 people = small company = 20 million gil = small house
75 people = medium company = 75 million gil = medium house
250 people = large company = 250 million gil = large house

20 people isnt apropiate for a small house.

A bunch of bullshit

Could you give a source for this bullshit, good sir? 'cause it seems to me that you just made up a bunch of numbers straight from your anal cavity.
