Why is housing even being released

[indira]

If this was XI, people wouldn't bat an eyelash at content released that is not immediately attainable and requires a virtual life's work. Relics? Mythics?

In Gimme Entitlement Reborn, SE can't release anything that takes time and work and community building and any of the virtues they hope to instill in the player base that are lacking in its instant grat channel surfing low attention span twitterati gimme the escalade now daddy existence.

your wrong about relics you had instant access once you hit rank 6, bought the clock item then got the base weapon from a drop after that it was just getting the old currency and dynamis only locks you out 3 days. never having to spend one cent it was nothing but content spaming.

FFXIV is BS because it wants insane gil prices. its making one week lockouts from content. no way can you sit there and say FFXIV's systems are ok.
mythics were even easier & faster to get, then mog trial weapons cost nothing but you doing trials which was content not a gil sink.

FFXI 72 hour poped NM's vs ffxiv 168 hour content lockouts

time sink = time sink

yeah, some people had an entire LS funding that one guy to get that one relic and the one guy personally didn't have to spend a dime.

most relics were made by people who bought their currency though

...and trying to see a difference between spamming content to make money to buy X, vs spamming content to acquire currency to buy X ...is kind of a stretch

Oh look more White Knights defending anything SE does. I hope SE makes us kill 1 million ladybugs in order to do coil, that would be as fun as grinding gil for housing. /eyeroll

not white knighting and not blindly defending what they are doing. Why not try and look at it in another way, rather then just blindly riding the hate train.

Honestly I don't get why people are upset your buying a house 512 people can use. Did they honestly expect it to be cheap ??

Actually i expected the smallest patch of land to cost about 500k but not in the millions

[-Raz-]

something people seem to constantly forget, these are FREE COMPANY houses, they arent supposed to be bought by an individual, but by your entire FC as a whole

personal housing doesnt even get added for another half year, so start saving up for that one

[Tinker]

More or less saying SE released it before it was ready because to do otherwise would be to admit mistake and lose face. That or they intend housing to stay the realm of the few. Which I don't think is the case, at least I hope not.

SE Loose face? Hah, They've effectively managed to fling their own crap into their face. Even gaming websites are now picking up on the outrageous prices. I'm from a guild with ~40 active members. Since we have a couple crafters who actually enjoy playing the market, we've managed to put away ~8 mil since the initial announcement.

The funny thing is that this really won't remove gill from the servers (apart from the few rich idiots who acidentaly hit the purchase button). As the housing is not attainable during a reasonable time frame, with reasonable effort most of the other guilds I've talked to have come to the same conclusion....

Basically, "f**k that, I'm keeping our gil for ourselves!"

[McStagger]

And to this date not everyone has hundreds of millions of gil.

It isn't meant for everyone. This is a luxury item.
