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:
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..
