Small plots and big misconceptions

[Iymala]

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.
