It appears Japanese players are in agreement.

I wonder how many server transfers there will be . Entire FCs leaving to go to the smaller servers to pay less money for there FC house. What would SE do then ?

...snip... then finally ppl get sick of the BS and leave, they declare themselves the last ppl standing in a dead game ...snip...

That kind of reminds me of the black knight from monty python and the holy grail XD

Anyway, thanks for explaining the origin. Still sad though

If you guys want listen to the minority that's fine. You tried that in beta 1.0 after you got this type of response to things look where that got you... You have three types of housing so you have the chance to fix it for the player base. Small house (casual player low price affordable to all) medium house (middle range player/few can afford) large house (hardcore player can maybe afford/no one can afford at present) The medium and large can stay the same for all I care but the small should be available to all. Give players a taste of what they can have then they will work hard for upgrade.

There is no such thing as a vocal minority. That is a PR meme to throw out what customers are saying.

For television they get the opinions of what the views are saying by a small sample of telephone calls. The assumption is most people won't call, however out of every caller perhaps 100 people have the same feelings just as strong. If you have 1000 callers then you are assumed to have 100k viewers.

It works the same way in radio. Now for some developers it becomes easier to discount the news they don't want to hear. Oh the forum people do not make up the views of the actual player base. Well everyone posting here is players and know people in game who has the same opinion. Of course if someone doesn't want to listen to what it is said, you will just talk down call it a vocal minority and if you say it enough time the people might mimicking to.

Its propaganda.

My favorite post in from google translate:

"Housing also, I was not end before the beginning. It was a previous problem to say sorry, such as."

You folks keep talking about 'housing' costing the posted prices. The prices are ONLY for the land the houses will be built on.
They don't have buildings. WE have to buy each and every part of the buildings and put them together. THEN start putting furniture and such in them. Have y'all looked at the cost of any of THAT yet?
I saw a section of wall going for 1 million, a chair for 300k...
