Housing..

Is it just our server?

No, but it's most certainly NOT typical of my server.

I'm in the highest priced group of servers. I think so many of you completely freaking FAIL to understand that the prices on the higher priced servers are EXPONENTIALLY more expensive than yours.

Hmm..much anger. Settle down~

Well, from the majority's perspective.. It is certainly unfair cause the amount of money you guys generate and us are the same, especially if you weren't rich from 1.0. Even worse if you started in a legacy server in 2.0. God forbid why, but probably you have friends over there, I understand.

But from SE's perspective, there's probably 5-6 times the amount of money leftover from 1.0 when housing arrived when compared to 2.0.. which would then make it kind of fair, but so real-world-y. Rich guys be rollin in cash, and dat cash aint going nowhere. New, poor guys now have expensive prices, with same gil generating methods with cheaper servers.

Is it just your server? No, however there's not many servers that accomplished that either.

Despite my server is consider one of the cheaper end, we only got 1/3 of that in ward 1. Our server finally has it's own server first on large like less than a week ago too.

Sorry about the anger, this is a touchy subject for me.

I was already a little disheartened by the fact that 2.0 was so different from 1.23 and that it wasn't going to be easy for me to play a game this action oriented. But, I met my husband through FFXI, and we've been playing XI and XIV together for a LONG time now. Housing was going to be the feature that kept me in the game with him. Now, he logs in and does his duty roulette, or works on his next relic, or helps out the LS, while I sit and watch Netflix or read a book.

While I can almost understand that SE wants to remove some gil from the game, I'm bitter and angry that they used a casual feature, for fun, to try to remove gil. Everything else is so easily done, that gil has no real meaning, and yet, you have to have a crap ton of it to get a house. Farming takes no time at all, spiritbonding is apparently done in CT, gathering is botted beyond all reason and crafting is leveled up in a day via leves. No one needs gil, so why do they put such a high price on housing to remove the useless gil?

Actually, as of 7PM PST 2/13/2014, Durandal's price tier has dropped down to the same tier as non-legacy server. So if you were angry that you can't afford the Legacy server price tag, you can buy a house now cause Durandal houses are as cheap as the non-legacy servers.

Lol...i'm sorry i don't mean to hijack or derail the thread but i gotta say...Quiz...every-time i see your picture sig i can't help but laugh out loud.

And to add to this thread a little i understand how Tryst feels, i have already commented how i feel about the housing content in other housing threads on these forums, now i just sigh every-time i see a housing thread....but i still read them hoping to see Quiz's sig so it can make me smile! =P

On Cerberus none of our 1st wards are full, makes me wonder what's going to be done with the other wards? and if it's worth buying anything in the 1st ward in case they make houses a lot cheaper to fill the rest.

It's an interesting point, the way they design content seems so backwards. Content normally deemed hardcore is accessible to most players, and bis gear is guaranteed over time. But the content normally deemed casual like housing is priced in a fashion that only the 24/7 crafters back at launch or the titan sellers could afford them.

The end result is that there are terrible players running around with bis gear and dying on encounters they are overgeared for, and housing is reduced to trophy rooms for the most accomplished FCs. Look at that maid cafe event that was done in a medium house, isn't that sort of RP content what housing is meant for?
