Small plots and big misconceptions

[Iymala]

My main issue is that I feel the prices, being based off the server's economies, are not being based on Legitimate Gil Obtained. They are taking into account all the illicit gil that has been obtained on the servers, and essentially punish the people who did not exploit the economy in one way or another.

This is absolutely the problem. My wallet needs to compete with the Gil trains of 1.00 the Gil trains Square ignored for over two years.
It's never going to happen. I was on Sargatanas from 2010. I know how many Bots have been there, uncontrolled for years. I was able to make around 10 million Gil in 1.00 by accident. I wasn't even trying. They had concerted efforts, day in, day out. It's in the hundreds of billions, even after the conversions. If that's the template they used for housing prices, they might as well have just not had FC housing at all.

That's my only complaint, the size of the small one, it's really meant for 1-3 people lol All these people whining and complaining about the price of housing need to remember, its a FC one, where most if not all should pull their funds together for it, not to mention all the buffs they said a FC house will give (I remember a while back they said a permanent 25% exp buff and things), which I'm sure individual housing (if it comes) won't give those so theres a chance they won't be as pricey.

That's the problem with people these days, they don't want / know how to work for things so instead they whine about it. I personally blame WoW and all the clones of it, dumbing down gamers by making everything easy / no grind / work for things. Yes I know it's just housing, but think about rl and buying a house, does whining and complaining solve anything? No, you work for it and save up. I've never seen so much complaining about stuff on a mmo before and I've been playing them since 01ish.

Kind of wish they had took the medium one and called it "small" for FCs

Absolutely nothing will change if people don't "whine." This is not real life (and people don't just grin and bear it here either). No one has a problem with "working for it," but the goals need to be within reach. With prices this high, especially on legacy servers, you might as well tell people to save up for the Moon.

I agree. There absolutely needs to be an outpouring of criticism for the current pricing model vs. reward. Without people "whining" no change would ever happen.

I do not think I would have as much of an issue with the prices if housing was not limited to a certain amount of plots available, and if the sizes reflected Free Company sizes. The houses released are the size of what I would expect personal houses to be. I have never played a game with guild housing that had such tiny houses expected to be shared by entire groups of people.

Can't believe I actually have to say this but here it is. O u t d o o r.

I alone have earned enough gil crafting since EA to purchase a top grade small plot of land on a legacy server.


I don't see a problem with the prices of land. If it's too expensive, no one will buy, and the price deflation mechanism built into the system will take it's toll, dropping the price until others decide to purchase.

There is nothing you can do about it but wait and let the market speak for itself.

Unless the prices drop to the halfway mark, stop deflating, and still nobody buys a house. I'm actually hoping for this scenario, because in that case SE will be forced to drop the prices. The prices don't just keep dropping until somebody buys. They drop until the halfway mark and stop.
