    Square Please Don't Ever Do This Again. Part 1

    My wife and I just recently started a new Free Company shortly after Heavensward came out. The problem with this is on my server to buy a mansion costs about 37 million.This is a problem for 2 reasons.

    1 No new housing districts were brought in when Heavensward was released. Most of the districts on my server are full with the exception of a few scattered mansion sized plots here and there. What this means is no one is buying much furniture right now and that really hurts considering as any crafter knows... making furniture is where the real money is at.

    2 Most of the new quests are giving out high quality gear for completing the quests. Once again hurting the crafting market because usually it's the high quality items that sell best, however if they're all being given away, then they are not really going to go for much on the marketboard and in turn the crafters end up getting hurt again.

    1. Furniture market has been dead for a while. Retainers flood the market with crap no one wants, the redecorators only want the rare, good items.

    2. The HQ crafted items are still going for hundreds of thousands of gil on my server, even the quest rewards, because many people level multiple jobs.

    Realistically, you can only get 2 full set of HQ gear per gear "level" per character (although some gear sets can be used by many classes/jobs). I still agree with you that they did not need to go that route and I would definitly prefer they do not do so next time.

    It's exceedingly easy to make gil on the market boards. I make a million a day minimum just listing the skins my retainers bring back each hour, and occasionally crafting HQs of the daily turn ins while making my own for turn in. Having the patience to actually hold onto that gil and not spend it is something else entirely. Keep in mind the devs never intended FC houses to be affordable for 2 people, and outright LIED about the cost of player housing.

    I don't see why this couldn't be consolidated into one topic. This just seems confusing.

    I'm not intending the house to be just for my wife and I. It's for the entire FC. And if I really work I can turn out a million a day as well. I'm just saying that handing out the HQ items as well as not expanding the housing districts has hurt crafters.

    I would have been happy to have consolidated it all into one topic is the forum allowed me to post something that long, unfortunately it only allows for so many characters and I was forced to break up what I had to say into multiple threads.

    Edit your post. That bypases the max character limit. Yes, I know, it's stupid.

    Still man, three topics? Even if you couldn't edit your posts you could have just done three posts in one topic.

    If you edit your post, the limit goes away, alternatively (though not as efficient) you can reply to your own topic in consecutive order.
