Petition: Drop Housing Plot Prices

[Wyrmlimion]

Square-Enix, this is outrageous and done with complete disregard for small FC's, which your current community is mostly comprised of. These prices are far to high even for the hardcore Gil farmers, I'm sure professional gold sellers are looking at these prices and saying to themselves, we need to step our game up and farm more Gil cause we know the only way players can afford this is to buy our Gil!

And yes this is what your playerbase is thinking right now also. Do you think we farm gil all day, alot of us are busy enough farming gear and raiding to devote ourselves to farming even a fraction of these prices.

Post in this thread to support the follow petition.

Reduce the plot starting prices far lower and allow us to bid war over them as intended, at these prices you have put no one can even afford the starting prices.

Square-Enix, please for the love of Hydalyn, learn the lessons other MMO developers did before you!

I do agree. specially when i see the RMT and Bots farm not getting Ban after month of reports. They old the market and have lots of gils. How can we think about getting 325M @ 30 + players FC when the market is monopolized by BOTS and RMT? by setting the prices that high, SE give RMT a big and bueatyful smile with $$ in their eyes. Our FC will never buy gils to RMT and are not much into farming gils so we can say Good buy to housing.

I spent 3 weeks alone farming materials and selling them. I made 30k a day and I am no way near close to making enough for guild housing. If eel liek quitting. My FC is onyl 8 people and all up we have 4million Gil - guild housing on our server is 20million gil. For the smallest.

This is so stupid. SE you're seriously going to make so many people want to leave over this. Like I'm sure others have brought up, remember how you cut everybodys gil down? Do that to your stupid prices. You strung us on for months about housing, and now at the LAST MINUTE reveal your absurd prices. What is wrong with you guys? I'm signing this as MANY times as I can!

With several more ways to earn gil in 2.1, and the price drops scheduled for housing, I don't ecpect these duplicate topics to last too long.

signed. way to reward the players, way to disappoint further.. first we expect houses 4 months ago, then you practically make us wait another 3 months just to be able to afford one. way to go..

Ok...Either SE fails in math or I fail in math.

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.

I've done the calculations, so, from 8 mil to 7.552 mil after 10 days, that is 5.9% reduction and yet, it was stated 14% reduction every 6 hours. 14% of 8 million is 7,017,543 after 6 hours. How can it be 14% when it's also state that it will fall to half of it's starting price in 90 days over 360 times.

This is a very mixed up post about the prices the reduction % costs. So, I'll take my 14% please or it's false advertising. Remember SE, you're fond of your legal terms of agreements, so therefore, follow through on that 14% reduction every 6 hours.

Adding new ways to make Gill means nothing to prices like that SE cannot expect a FC of 10 people to ever afford these prices!

I play in Behemoth and from what I've gathered from the 2.1 patch info is that I have to wait after 90 days to be able to buy a cheaper, 5th class small plot of land at 4 million gils? You have got to be kidding! Nope, sorry, I'm done Square Enix. Thanks for nothing.
