WHAT?! 625 Million for first class House?

[Fenwick]

It's funny, though, that there are a million good changes in those patch notes and the one thing most people are going to focus on is the cost of FC housing. I agree that it's ridiculous (obviously), just find it pretty silly that people are coming out of the woodwork "OMG CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SE HAS DONE IT AGAIN UNSUBBED SELLING ALL MY FINAL FANTASY DISKS ON EBAY AAAAAAAAAAA"

I'd agree with you if this was a thread about the patch as a whole, but it isn't. It'd be a bit off topic to randomly praise things that aren't included in the subject. >.>

No wonder's there's so much homelessness in Ul'Dah. Look how much people have to pay for a house.

This was so funny I showed it to some of my FC members...They thought you were pretty spot on xD

... just wait, seeming the prices reduce 14% every 6 hours....

Lots of people will be waiting as they save up Gil.

[Aenarion]

That drop is huge. I expect everyone to wait till they see other FCs start buying.

It's not.

from patch note:

The Devaluation Timer
The price of a plot of land is set to be reduced 14% every six hours.

Example:
Small
- Starting Price: 8,000,000 gil
- 10 Days Later: 7,552,000 gil
- 15 Days Later: 7,328,000 gil
- 30 Days Later: 6,656,000 gil
- 90 Days Later: 3,698,000 gil
* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.
* From patch 2.2 onward, a free company will automatically relinquish its land if its estate is unused for a prolonged period of time.

SE is so bad that they can't even do basic math right, if it's 14% reduction every 6 hours, then how the hell did their example show a 5.6% reduction after 10 days

And someone may want to tell them that half of 8 mil is 4 mil, not 3.698m

Don't even care about housing anymore. Dead, buried and forgotten on arrival.

The amount of entitlement is absolutely astounding.

Sorry, but you can't ALL have gigantic mansions on the most prestigious plots of land, sorry. You can, however, buy smaller affordable housing.

This would hold true if things went as planned. But they didn't, SE screwed up and the RMTs found ways to generate MASS amounts of gil from nothing. Causing amounts to sky rocket. In late september they confiscated billions of gil due to these exploits. But the damage was done, the gil was in the system and there was nothing they could do to fix it.

Until now.

Its plain as day to see that SE is inflating the costs due to the amount of gil on the servers (most which was created illegitimately).

Not everyone should have a huge mansion you are correct, but at the same time the prices should have never gotten this high to begin with.
