Canceling Sub over Housing

[Seoulstar]

I'm sorry, but to the people that are trying to defend the "complaining"..you're a bit wrong. Complaining and giving constructive feedback is one thing. Then there is just mindless insulting without really giving any advice. What I'm mostly seeing is the latter. No feedback, nothing that might can help the situation. Just mindless insulting.

It appears I can still log into the forums? O.o... for clarification since someone went on a jealousy rampage after looking up my minions and mounts, I didn't buy "10 mil" worth of minions go look at the fact I have 50 everything. I collected minions for fun while maxing up everything. This is not about having a lack of gil either, I could have easily dropped the gil on a small (maybe medium if I cared I still can't justify pushing for a large house unless it's an FC house in the current status of "Personal" housing.) house in the wards that still had houses available. (and for what's it's worth I did finish one atma grind just for the heck of it when I came back for a short stint. I have a very different perspective of how the grind is and how you should only play if FFXIV is actually "fun" When it is no longer enjoyable it is time to put the controller/keyboard/mouse/headset away and stop paying.)


My issue with housing is while the price (though I could afford it.) was misleading though doable, I was under the impression that Personal housing would be different.
I do not want an FC House.
I had already in the past leveled a Max Rank FC and bought a 1st Ward house for said FC as the primary contributor.
That only led to a ton of drama that could be avoided I guess if I kicked all the members and had a FC to myself...but how is that possibly "fun"? The community is what makes FFXIV and in it's better years FFXI the MMORPG that I wanted to play, a lack of community or worse creating a toxic market by competing FC's isn't healthy. Also why would I want to drop a large amount of gil on a house where none of my friends would even bother to visit? I didn't get into the "personal" Rooms even though as an FFXI player that's a tempting(lack of a moogle and gardening was my reason.),

my main interest was I thought this "different" "seperate from FC housing" would be another ward with (ideally) all small houses with gardens and I could have my friends as neighbors.

I think it's funny the people that act like somehow I'm in the wrong for quitting when I'm no longer having fun. I stated this in a way that S.E and perhaps the higher ups of the dev team can see a more vocal approach if people are angry with a dev. idea creating multiple Threads on the same topic to be more vocal to create awareness that there is a problem with the current implementation of a design idea. that needs to be fixed. (I guess raising awareness with your sub fee is now called "whining" eh go figure.)

No, just tired of all the whining that goes into these forums. ATMA SUX! = cancel. I come back. Housing SUX!!! = cancel. Will come back again to whine about something else.

This made my day

The problem with that, though, is that you are actually wrong in your interpretation (which isn't that elusive or difficult to understand unless you purposely ignore facts that stare at you).

That quote was written in December when 2.1 was written. Now, unless you want to suggest that Yoshida also has a crystal ball and wrote that post knowing what the game situation would be like come October Patch 2.38, it's pretty obvious that he meant house prices for personal housing would be cheaper in 2.38 than it was in 2.1 (which he also recently confirmed).

And that's is actually true. Read the patch notes for 2.1. You'll find that (for my server, Excalibur) the smallest, crappiest house was 20 million gil. In 2.38, that same house is 4 million. That's a 1/5th of the price. I call this "far more affordable".

The price of the highest tier of houses was 312,500,000 gil. In 2.38, this same house is 87,500,000 gil, or less than 1/3 of the price. This I also call "far more affordable".

What part of "completely separate from free company housing" did I misinterpret again?

We're all wrong obviously. WE NEED TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING!! Never mind the fact that the producer himself said to use these forums to give suggestions, and say what we like and don't like!

Will look forward to your "I cancelled my sub because of random 2.5 feature" thread.

Yesterday my sister canceled her sub and sent me her (millions of) gil. Personal housing is what she was looking forwards to for the last year. It was far more expensive and there were far fewer plots than what would have kept people happy.

Honestly I think if they would have said a month ago that there wasn't going to be enough housing for everyone this patch and listed the prices we would have been less pissed off yesterday morning when many of us thought we were going to log in and purchase a personal house.

No, look forward to my long excuse in 2.4 if they don't get some better content out.
