I think I get it

People have every right to be upset. I think like 3 of the live letters showcased housing and they put a lot of effort into hyping everyone up for it and then this.

Only SE could make endgame raids so casual and make should-be casual content like housing so extremely hardcore. I honestly see the population taking a swift nosedive unless they change their mind before the patch hits, and even then they're bound to lose people because of this.

I mean on one hand, you have players clamoring for hard content in order to make memories (bring back mob trains; lose tethering; make zones punishing). Where are those voices now?

Hardcores want hard content that challenges them and keeps them busy. There's nothing challenging about saving 625M gil, it's just f'n stupid.

Housing should be casual content. Everyone should be able to get in on it. It's suppose to help you relax in the game, not stress you out and get you pissed off.
