I think I get it

The reason many are upset is that housing isn't available day one.

Not on Week 1, not on Month 1, not on Year 1; This goes for certain Servers since the Prices are hilarious.

Small 20,000,000 21,250,000 22,500,000 23,750,000 25,000,000
Medium 75,000,000 79,687,500 84,375,000 89,062,500 93,750,000
Large 250,000,000 265,625,000 281,250,000 296,875,000 312,500,000


This is my Server and to be honest, i was expecting arounf 60-80 Mil for a Large House in the WORST Case, but 250 Mil? Sorry, let aside that SE cut the gil from 1.0 People by 1/10, this prices are not going to work out. I am not seeing many FC's spending 20 Mil on a Small House, which is similiar to the Inn-Room in Size.

If SE does with the Prices, what they did with our Gil; 1/10... then i will consider getting one, but for now... one of the biggest features i was looking forward is done for me. I am not spending 24/7 farming Gil to MAYBE ... really MAYBE buy a Large House somewhere around next Years Christmas.

This is a gross simplification, yes. But stay tuned. If MMOs are long term affairs (i.e. I played FFXI for 7 years). And If MMOs are to have long term goals (i.e. I've been collecting pieces of a legendary weapon for months). Then some readers might be puzzled as to why tables are being flipped at housing. I think this is because many anticipated a purchase on day one. Speaking from empathy, I can understand the frustration at being denied a day one purchase.

I also did play FFXI for 7 Years and did achieve many longterm Goals.. so what? They did affect my Gameplay, while Housing is pure Cosmetic. And again.. this is not about day "day 1 purchase", it is about "year 1 purchase".

* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.

Wait 90 days and it'll be 125M, still over your expected worst case, but much more reachable.

And if running leves for 500 gil each is your best idea on how to make 40mil... well, it would be my humble opinion that you have more than a few screws lose between the ears.

No, my idea of how to make 40M is running Leves for 3k Gil each turn in... No wait, 9k Gil, since they're repeatable. Actually, that isn't how I intend to make Gil primarily, but yeah... Only bonus EXP is being nerfed, and they're adding new Leves, so they could be even better.
