"Adjust" Housing prices --> Raising prices?

[Morzy]

SE don't do it. =_= U already made a lot of players angry making the private housing the same price as FC housing, which i'm sure there are some players out there on the forums with a quote from Yoshi-P saying the private houses would be cheaper(I understand his point for making them more, that's not what I want to argue here)


Don't get me wrong, I think gil could be easier to make today than it was a few years back, but I'm just one person. Players still struggle to make enough for just a small. It feels like the majority of the playerbase can afford a small and these are most likely the players who can't play more and/or r more casual and seeing as u just luv making things easier for the casual side of players and make it appealing to new players in hopes of keeping them players... This seems like it could be a set back.


Or.. If this is rlly ur strategy to combat wealthy players that buy and resell land.. Sure it might set them back a lil and they might lose a lil gil.. but I doubt it's enough to remove the incentive to continue with their market.

N yes I get it. There's not much u can do with those that resell houses without also affecting the rest of the playerbase, just like with the bots.

I don't know what u could do. Maybe in reality this is the only way u think u can thwart them without affecting the rest of us so much.. Which would be a sad truth cus again it's gonna suck for the most of us out there.

They will probably raise the prices. I would say that is a good bet and by quite a bit in my view.

I agree, I can't rlly see them reducing prices, only making it easier for those who resell houses.

There is a lot more gil in circulation than when housing came out. Raising prices makes sense.

I spent all my gil on a small house when private housing came out...now I can earn that amount in a day or two if I tried (and I don't have any 3* crafters, so...)

Gil almost appears out of nowhere if you put even a little effort into making it. Almost feels like you have to actively avoid making any to be poor

It does make sense dont get me wrong. n yeah gil is easy to make but even still this is my POV and urs.

IMO they should find more ways to remove gil from the game instead of just making specific things more expensive.

I spent all my gil on a small house (all decorated back then cost me ~7-9 mil) when private housing came out...now I can earn that amount in a day or two if I tried (and I don't have any 3* crafters, so...)

Any link on this post, by chance? Would love to see it. Thanks!

On my own thoughts, if they ARE gonna 'adjust' housing prices... I really hope they decide to make it so that it's moreso that they make it that there are more servers in the 'rich' list, and only newer servers on the 'poorer' list. That's the biggest adjustment I (hopefully!) see them doing.

Changing prices at this point doesn't do much but make it even more expensive for people who don't have a house. It benefits no one really.

i'm well aware <_< Honestly I didn't think it was that old.. Maybe there's a more recent version he did in a live letter or something.. but this it what i found.

I've been looking to buy a small house in Sarg but people try and sell it for 15m which to me is ridiculous.

i'm sorry. I hope u can catch one being demolished.

All though Bayohne worded it differently

We'll be introducing quite a lot of additional plots and will be releasing the prices of the land on the Lodestone.

Which they wouldn't be releasing the prices of the land if the prices weren't changing as people pointed out most likely going up in price.

Raising the prices only affects the people that put no effort into trying to make gil, if person just looking for a small house currently 5 million gil (the most expensive small) is quite easy to get a hold of.
