The Truth About FC Housing (Since SE Refuses to Tell It.)

[Dyvid]

Sounds like a damn if you do, damn if you don't situation.
Release FC Housing with high price and let player slow trickle in while monitor server stress - Piss community off over high price
Delay FC Housing for four more months to test followed by another delay on personal housing - Piss community off over more delays

I don't care about housing. I DO care that the overpriced housing has all but destroyed the economy. I left my FC because they were asking for gil - gil making being my favorite activity, I was at first happy to oblige. Week before 2.1 and ever since it's near impossible to make gil on the boards. There are no buyers, only sellers, pretty much across the boards - mats - synthed HQ - food, you name it. I was pulling in about 100k per night with MB less than a month ago, now i'm barely scraping by 10k-25K per night. Even shards are often less than 10g each where less than a month ago were all around 30-40gil. Crystals have fallen at least 50% in this same time period.

TLDR: This housing problem has far bigger implications than your scrub FC not being able to buy a house. It's this very housing crisis that prevents your FC from effectively making gil because everyones saving and no ones buying.

It could also just be that no one wants to buy off the Market Board anymore. They did just add a raid with ilvl 80 drops, so why buy ilvl 70 stuff off the AH?

I'd rather believe in the "conspiracy" then think that the developers were actually stupid enough to think this housing structure was a good idea.

There is an extensive post from Yoshi regarding housing, that details the motivation behind the pricing. Regarding Housing Prices (12/17/2013)

Well I asked for an answer from Yoshi-san as to when he planned on stopping his lie about housing. Got my answer. 240 hour ban. Than SE. Glad to know that instead of addressing the community, u just ban people. Guess whose money your not getting anymore.

Well what did you expect sending a passive aggressive message?

[Axlle10]

Well I asked for an answer... snip

i would be most interested to see your message, judging from the way youve been talking there might be some swear words or vulgar language involved possibly? if so a ban was totally justified. Also, misuse of a support function that is there to help people get answers and that real people look at, telling them that the basis for your request is that Yoshi P lied to everyone also supports a ban. You are paying for their service yes. but not paying for them to sit there and listen to you complain about the head honcho. I would re-read the TOS before you do anything XD

and his posts that he has stated about FC housing hold 100% merit. your little conspiracy theory is nothing more than a THEORY. Water falls from the sky, does that mean that aliens are pee-ing on us? IT MUST BE!!! OMG!!! TINFOIL HATS!!!
