FC Housing costs for these Worlds: I can't even math anymore~!

[Einzo]

So, for players playing in these worlds.. What are your thoughts when you see this?

Really wonder what is YoshiP doing when he came up with this. :/

Instead of pointing fingers and playing the blame game, is there anything we can do to highlight that this kind of pricing is totally ridiculous?

Got totally put off after reading this, was so pumped up to get Housing for the FC and now I am like:



Was pondering over this and could not sleep

Anyway, I think SE probably have their own reasons for implementing such a ridiculous price for housing on these servers but what they did not take into consideration:

1) Not every player on these server are legacy players. Some are non-legacy players who joined their friends on these servers.
2) Not every player farms gil on a daily basis.
3) Not every player is rich.

Example: 625,000,000 will be halved after the deed is not bought for 3 months, which is 312,500,000.

How many '3 months' will we have for this game if SE keeps making bad decisions like this.

This is a game. Contents should be made available for everyone, meaning even if there are gonna be restrictions, the restrictions should be reasonable and justifiable.

What I personally think SE should have done: Make a fixed housing cost for ALL worlds regardless of Legacy or Non-Legacy, and 1.5 higher cost for Legacy instead of double. Make a max cap of 100,000,000 Gil for the most expensive plot of land. What they are doing now is they brought, 1) World population, 2) World population's overall wealth into factor for FC housing. This is just plain stupid. This is a game, NOT a country.

What I feel like right now: I am a citizen in a country called "YoshiP". I am a common folk like the majority. Unable to have a roof over my head due to ridiculous pricing set by the "government". The "government" only thought of the minority instead of the majority of the country's people.

In conclusion: SE made a really bad decision and did not take the majority of the players into consideration.

Is this still a game anymore?

What I think we can do right now, is to voice our unhappiness and reasons for this ridiculous price for FC housing on medias like:

Reddit
Kotaku
Destructoid
IGN
Gamespot
Massively
Siliconera
MMORPG.com
Mmosite

and much more.. and maybe.. just maybe.. SE may wake up from their idea and do things right for people on these worlds..

I guess the only thing to do is to not buy a house. And wait until they patch the prices.

[Namasu]

Not to mention they wrote .14% as 14%. SE can't into basic math and this is getting really embarrassing.

[SinisterJoint]

technically .14% IS 14%...

as .14 = 14%

but yea, the prices on ALL worlds is absolutely absurd...

Oh ok cool, we waited this long, so lets just wait some more because SE doesn't know how to control exploits/RMTs.

YAY

Nice to know that all of the server population suffers because of some people with a large amount of gil.

as .14 = 14%

I don't even.. .14% is not equal to 14% LOL.

SE, please fix your numbers before we all lose our minds and forget how to do math.

For example, remove a couple of zero's from each of the plot prices. Thank you!

The hell are you talking about.... .14% is not 14%

You are right that .14 = 14%.

and last I check it's still "The price of a plot of land is set to be reduced 14% every six hours." so if you happen to work for SE you should edit this fast.

Seems like SE is punishing people on legacy worlds because they don't know how to control their RMT and exploiting problems.

Suddenly, the 350k I was planning on depositing to the company coffer seems a tad insignificant....
