    Just a thing, what is *technically* the use of Housing ?

    XP bonuses while crafting in a room made for it ? (let's say a kitchen for cooks as an example)

    Increased rest bonus recovery in a giant FC dormitory ?

    Or just a basic "see how awesome we are" stuff ?

    In the first cases, I'll be for a decrease in cost even after the 3 month 50% drop off. This way anyone will be able to get it eventually.
    In the latest case however, this is a pure vanity thing, and thus must remain what it is intended to be : vanity, and luxury. Leave it enormously expensive, make a lot of shiny stuff to show off how rich you are, just like what vanity must be.

    FFXI community will always be better. Some of you self entitled kids need to learn how to be appreciative when others help you in game. Saying please or thank you never killed anyone.

    People are upset because they can't get instant gratification like they want. A lot of people fail to see the obvious need for a thing called teamwork, which would make getting so much money much less stressful.

    So Since I've been saving my gil since the launch of 1.0 I want instant gratification?
    Its not fair of me to ask my FC members to drop that much gil onto a house when most of them are all under a mil & have worked hard for what they DO have.
    And I'm not about to make myself broke JUST to afford a small house. I don't want things handed to me but I don't want my FC and I to spend all day everyday farming gil, how is that an outrageous demand or anything?

    If you don't want to, then why do you even bother ? Don't buy it..
    On a personnal scale, I do not see any benefit on housing at the moment. I'll see when personnal housing comes, and if we have more infos by the time about what it really is useful for

    Are you sure you saved the right way? I made an half million in couple weeks with questing... Seeing it that way, it must be a FC investment, not a leader spending.

    LMAO! Did I save the right way they say... you made half a mil from NON REPEATABLE QUESTS

    I played the game that's what I did. I played and enjoyed myself, and when I got gil I kept it.
    I did leves, I played the markets, and I made a good amount of gil. Im not here to play the "I have more gil then you!" game.
    There is no right or wrong way, everyone has their own playstyle. 30 Mil is a lot to me, maybe not to you but its what I had

    To sit there and ask me if "I saved the right way" is dumb
    Good for you that you can make gil, you want to give me 100 mil for just a medium size house on my server?
    Yea thought so, screw housing such a waste for 2.1

    I'm not about to have my FC drop what they're doing to waste their game time farming gil. Guess we get to live out of the inn rooms...

    Questing have a low income/time compared to dungeon(philo items) and crafting... That said, I'll keep my point and you'll keep your. I already enjoy the game a lot without housing. If one day we happen to afford one. I guess that upgrades will be available.

    All I'm gonna say is that if you have played 10 hours / week since this game came out, and bought the game for $40, your paying roughly 67 cents per hour of entertainment. Go to 25 hours a week, which I think is more typical of the active casual enthusiast, and your at about 27 cents an hour.

    Child: Please.
