Eastern Cherry Trees

IMO the failure is they changed it to market sellable after the event.

That's not a failure, it's an opportunity. If people purchase several event items either to speculate or because they feel that in future they will want/need them, and then subsequently it becomes a sell-able item, so be it. Sure people can sell them at a good profit, but that's the ups and downs of the market. The same item may never become sell-able, so active speculation is risky, as it should be.

I said, 'Even if.' I have no doubt they'd be higher, but $15 seems far too much for a housing item. A full set of gear on the mog station goes for about that much. I could see the trees going for $5 realistically.

Considering they used to charge 25 bucks for the sleipnir mount I actually think 15 bucks would be too cheap for them.

Doubtful that they'll add them in-game again, considering their monetary value. It would piss people who paid 20,000,000 gil per to have the trees. Square is cautious to even make a single change to the glamour system (they said that people still make 2,000 or so gil off of each individual 1-5 ranks and don't want to ruin that for them), so something so expensive would be almost out of the question.

That said, a bind-on-acquire version of such via the Mog Station may be viable. Perhaps even a raid drop in the future to provide a small influx to the market board. Both seem plausible to me.

If you paid 20m for a single tree that's your own fault, and also I have like 6 trees for you if you wanna waste that much gil on a tree.

If I were a dev I would put them back into the game for like 3 kupo nuts or put them on mog station for like 2.99 just because of that. Then just sit back and watch.

As much as I disagree with his reason to not re-implement the trees, he did say trees, not that someone paid 20m for single tree. Going by Balmung pricing, that's be 1m short of 6 trees.

As for how they should re-implement the trees, they should just bring them back during each Little Ladies Day event, as that's when they initially were obtained.

He did say per. On Sargatanas 20m would get you two trees at current pricing.

Well too bad for them, obviously they thought the trees were worth that otherwise they would not have bought it and they could waited for possible future way to obtain. So there really no reason for them to be pissy.

I doubt they care about that. Otherwise they wouldn't have slashed house prices like they did. The medium house I bought for 38 mil you can get for 8 mil on some servers. Let's not even go into the people that bought mansions before the price nerf...

You know I have some trees already but would like to see these added back into the game again or the cash shop as a last resort.
It is kinda sad really, I hop back into Rift on occasion and every time I head back there , they have added many additions of housing items available both from in game OR their "credit store" especially building blocks, countless lighting effects , water effects entire new dimensions O.o sheesh....

How in the world can se NOT add this back in by now, do they require our first born? We are talking about an item that already exists ...ONE item lol smh.

There are some things about ffxiv I like , that's why I still pay to be here! But man oh man they have some odd backwards thinking when it comes to things like this.

With holding a virtual tree....a tree!!! not legendary raid gear, we are asking for a tree!! ...I am sorry but it just makes the decision makers look really really silly after this long.

I 100% Support the bring back the Eastern cherry trees.
