Small plots and big misconceptions

[Gentaro]

That issue exists because housing originally was planned for people,not FCs - I agree, if a small house is for FCs with like up to 50 people, one small room isn't enough.

I don't know I don't get it, but that doesn't mean some people are blindly defending it.

quick, someone get this guy a doctor, he's been blinded by them shiny armors!

[Pinworms]

I don't know what's worse... The outrageous prices or the fact that only a select few people will even get to utilize the house functions such as placement, building, decorations, etc...

The entire housing currently is one big messy joke.

Ha, I'm not white knighting or care for the term even. In fact I wish they would of used the time that they spent on making housing into other content elsewhere, don't care for housing and think it's a bad decision since the game is lockout central with dailies popping up everywhere. I don't want content to be limited for me or anyone by saying after you've burned through your dailies and weekly content you have to wait till next week.

Side note I think the high price is also to control how many FC's own a house since there might be limited spaces.

If this is the case, if content is being arbitrarily limited because SE is not reinvesting the money they received from a massively successful launch to support the content they create, well, then we are all being ripped off.

Having challenging content only the best of the best can beat is one thing. Limiting content because the provider is not providing enough capacity for it is unacceptable.

They should add shanty towns for the 99% that can't afford regular housing.

These small houses are the size of our inn rooms from 11. I cant say how excited I am to pay 8 million for a inn room in the inter city. Im jumping with joy!

Hey, in japan that room is considered huge!

Housing was one of the only reasons I was considering sticking around FFXIV. It gave something to look forward to and occupy my time between weekly 1-2hr Coil Runs. Crystal Palace.... no interest unless I am quite bored and want to "attempt" to gear up an alt very slowly, but I am at the point where if that was my true motivation (accompanied by the increased to myth cap) I would just use myth tomes to gear said alt. I also know that I am not the only person that is in this situation.

I can get over the fact that you have to level up your guild more to buy a house, even tho if you have all 50's.... time to create an alt to get that guild experience, but the outrageous price of houses paired with the fact that there is a "limited" market is absurd. With the current market.... of legitimately generated gil (not gil you earned from people who purchased it from RMT)... the price of houses is insane. Also the price vs the quality of the house is not at all proportional. Like many posters above have mentioned... why pay 20mil gil or even 10mil gil for a shack. I could understand that being the option for small FCs but even they often do not have the gil saved up to afford the current price. It all is just a very disheartening state of affairs.

I am sure they will figure out that this was a poor move a month or so from now and try to take steps to fix it, but how many people will be interested in coming back with new AAA games being released on the horizon.

Lots? Maybe. I certainly wasn't one of them. Also keep in mind that whatever money people had left over from 1.0 was reduced by 90% before stepping foot in ARR, and that these prices exceed the MAX amount of gil anyone could have had in 1.0 before the reduction. Legacy servers are also home to quite a few new players who choose these servers to play with their friends. It is not fair by any stretch of the imagination to penalize all for the actions of a few.
