If only there was a decent way besides RMT to get that much gold from a non-crafter. Its no wonder so many people buy gil.

There is no way to make money in this game.

I'm glad I'm not interested in these plots atm. I really waiting for SE to finally open up ishgardian housing to buy my house. Because that's the only one I truly want. While I watch wiener babies cry over the plots that are out now lol.

It will be interesting to see A) where they put the housing (I'm praying for snowy land) and B) how much the plots run - I could totally see them putting a premium on the "hot" new area and raising plot prices. Also, don't forget by then the house transfer system will be in place ...so anyone with an existing house can just as easily buy an Ishgard plot and transfer over their house with all items intact (the way it is supposed to work, anyways) meaning even existing home owners will be competing for the Ishgard plots (aka the entire server.)

If we are to take away anything from how the was handles is that the clearly don't care. Housing is unable to be purchased on jenova.

I love how silly people are lol. Houses JUST returned to the market today. Give it time and chill if you want a house that bad for cheaper. Prices will regulate when there's no market. That's how economy works.

You seem to be grossly misunderstanding the issue. On many servers there are no houses available (and up until today there were no houses available on any server). You can't wait for deflation on empty plots when there are no empty plots. And as for people that are selling their plots, you can't possibly expect that their prices will ever go down. Supply and demand. There is incredibly little supply, and a huge demand. Prices on player sold houses are never going to go down until tons of new wards/plots are introduced.

You cannot fault SE for players being greedy...

But you can fault them for creating a system that allows greedy players to lock others out of content.

This was only day one...tomorrow, any player who owns a home who hasn't logged into it in the past 45 days=another home up for grabs, the next day= same thing. Basically, unlike before where you HAD to camp the maint/log in right away to get plots, now, they will randomly continue to spring up. So if you missed one today, keep looking, over time, more will keep opening up.

Also, while it might work for people for a while to keep trying to buy out the server and re-sell them...sooner or later (esp. on smaller servers), they won't be able to benefit from this because there will always be additional plots unlocking...so, they will need to keep up buying everything,every day it pops open...or give up.

I know this is little comfort to those who hoped for a plot today/have to deal with people being scrooges on their server, but this was only day 1. Keep looking, plots will keep opening. Also, take note of when the free login began/ends...that likely will tie into another large window of turnover. Lastly, have friends help you keep an eye out if you haven't already done so. But I suspect, you'll see a couple homes open up in waves this week-next (b/c people logged in at patch to 'save' their home, but haven't since logged in/let their sub run out since then)...and then like I said, another round of waves that line up w/ the free login.
