Housing market value & insane prices?

I think everyone would agree with that... There are plenty of MMORPGs where housing is something that's somewhat automatic and every character gets access to it. Why Square Enix opted for a system where only a few hundred plots were available for a few dozen thousand players per server has been confusing us from the beginning.

Wild Star doesn't screw players over with housing, heck, even FFXI allowed everyone to play house with a tiny room from level 1.

We were promised individual housing that were separate in concept from FC housing and more affordable for the average player. Then they changed their minds and made it all the same. Price and availability are not satisfying for the crushing majority of players, and to add insult to injury, we've been informed that there would be no further expansion on housing plots, as they would rather work on increasing the usefulness of housing. This stance will strengthen people's desire to own a home, increasing the competition over remaining plots, while doing nothing at all to ease availability and accessibility.

At this point, the only thing that can save this situation is if Square Enix reveals that Heavensward will introduce Ishgardian residences that work as individual one-house instances that work like our current inn rooms or FFXI's Mog House. Something everyone can hope to get.

Sure, it wouldn't be as cool as having an actual neighborhood, but I think the many, many many many MANY threads on the topic already pointed out that the majority of players don't care about that and would be happier having a lone house of their own than having no house in a neighborhood.

Just auto generate districts. The issue is server stability apparently, but gotta get that fit and working. If lotro can have infinite neighborhoods still, I'm sure it's doable in this game. People are PLAYING this game.

Looks like this thread gave some people ideas...



2/3rds of our Fat Cats were just sold to similarly-named characters, who I'm guessing are mules made to each carry 1 million gil from someone's fortune on world transfer. I'm expecting they'll be transferring the other way shortly.

Basically, in addition to not making money easily, we're getting our stuff stolen by other servers XD

Need to add a 15 day no-move period after world transfer to prevent this.

Isn't that a good thing though? You're getting some money back in your economy.
you need more people to come cross server shopping Masamune will be the North American shopping district.

Isn't there already a lot of gil on the Masamune server, though? That's why the housing prices are at the highest tier. The problem is that the people who are hoarding it aren't spending it. XD

I don't think they can spend their gil. There is almost literally nothing being sold for a large amount of gil. At some point the market completely crashed.

I think you have that backwards tho. Solve the ''economic depression'' and you solve your housing problem.

Yes, I don't think Masamune's issue is with lack of plots, I hear they still have plots left to be sold.. people just don't have the money to buy them.. A different beast than that of Balmung's problems.
