An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[AmnesiaHaze]

lets get back to the topic shall we ? please continue complaining about how expensive dat house is

[Quesse]

My FC of about 30 active people has put away 10mil solely since 2.1 dropped. We expect to buy a medium house by 2.2. It's not impossible.

Your 10 mil should have been able to buy a medium house in December. I'm still really confused about what is taking so long. FC housing prices should be dropped like a rock - what is all this decreasing over months strategy about? Its killed the economy. I've yet to hear a clear reasonable answer from SE. Very frustrating.

Its killed the economy. I've yet to hear a clear reasonable answer from SE.

I've yet to hear a clear reasonable answer for why the economy is dead.

The economy has been working well for me on Phoenix at least. Maybe things are different on Legacy servers, but if that's true, the problem stems from players having been allowed to bring their gil and equipment from 1.0. Sometimes I think people only consider the economy alive when they can synth one item and then sell it for millions.

Houses prices should be cheaper, but people need to stop making up BS arguments as to why prices should drop.

It has been over a full month since the release of Housing.

Currently each ward in each city is occupied by a staggering number of 1-7 houses.

First ward of the Limsa housing development is occupied by a full THREE houses by the same Free Company (One large, two medium.) Many of you might be wondering.. that isnt even possible, ah but it is.

"LGCY" FC requires its players to have alternate characters, with these characters they have formed subsidiary FC's in which they use these FC's to buy additional plots.

Clearly the gil in which Yoshida is using to balance the housing is massively hoarded by a small number of players on legacy servers.

AKA, RMT, or people who use exploits/cheats or are simply greedy.

My FC sits at about 60+ active members and our FC bank isnt even capable of buying a medium house, and with that many active players it is absurd to think we should buy a small or even medium house.

Simply re stated:


Housing is drastically over priced, the economy is horribly imbalanced, and there is nearly no way to obtain gil via NPC (aka generate new gil.)

Please look into this issue more closely.

Thank you.

On Odin we have only 1 fc 16 players that own a large house and 5 fcs that own small and mediums. My FC we have about 28 mil in the bank and at this rate its not going well towards a large as we a 178 man fc.

When affordable personal housing comes out this game and economy will revive again. But that is a long ways away. Look forward to it.

[Elvin]

When they lowered small housing prices by a 50%, I think that they said that they woud evaluate if they shoud lower prices again at the end of february if.

Or I'm mistaken and it's a dream and not a memory?

Anyway, any news regarding to this? The state of housing in the game is pretty sad.

BRA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA. Personal housing will just be another vehicle to keep the economy deflated and designed on the scheme of ingame vendor/npc economies like single player games. WHY: that is the question. Some grand design experiment by SE...after all they wanted to be 'accessible' to allllll the players. Stop thinking the economy (*woes in many players minds) is the way it is by happenstance. This is a credible corporation which has access to huge amounts of data on what makes them real money in the real world.

Its how it is because the suits want it this way. Find a method to enjoy it, or leave as soon as you find an mmo which provides you with more for your entertainment money. Suggestions on the forums is NOT going to suddenly make them go "AH....what a great idea. We'd never looked at it in that light. Thanks so much. We'll get right on it. *Look Forward To It"...

Please.

Thank you.

Not if you do content (like full party treasure hunting (with everyone bringing at least 1 map) and df roulette). It is possible to generate over 10k gil daily only with doing content that give you gil.
