    Its all about optimizing the way you travel an learn to use the reduced and free teleport points to make routes for arriving different areas.

    Currently:

    My returning point is Gold Saucer as there I need the shortest time to the airships.

    My free teleport point is Kugane.

    When I travel from one side of the world to the other side, I targe at first the free or reduced points close to the final target and then go on. When returning is on cooldown the housing area is still a cheap alternative.

    they literally said teleports between continents were going to be pricey. way before SB came out.

    my advice is to set Kugane or somewhere in Othard as your home and only pay one way

    Ama also happens to be a hardcore crafter. Coincidence?
    people pool in money to buy FCs . We should still be seeing that, that is why the price is too low. There is a thing called supply and demand, We have a shortage because we have too much gil on our server, too many people have gil to buy the houses they are priced at, so they need to be made higher. It does not matter what your personal qualm with me is, people that work for them are the ones that should get them, not the people getting lucky in logging in the minute the servers goes live where the server does not disconnect them.

    If person A focus on making money on a house, why should person B, someone that only does battle etc and has enough money now to buy a house just because the game gives them too much gil?

    We have too much gil, teleport prices are too cheap, repair prices are too cheap, we have no money sinks, game rains gil on you the economy is very poorly thought out

    yes it fits my point, that is what happens when things are too cheap, if you make them the price they should be, taking account how much gil people have, that will not happen because you will not have enough gil for it. If they can't make enough houses then the prices needs to be high enough to make the demand less . You are forgetting my main point, if they cost too much where only a select few can do that, They will not make any money because there be no buyers ! The reason why it works right now is because houses cheap enough where a lot of people can do it and resell it for a lot more because of the excess gil everyone has. with no money sinks people have too much gil making the pricing for housing too low

    All the problems to housing has a base issue, and that is simply the price is too low for how many are available.

    Hold on. I can get behind one personal house per account/server shared by all characters on that account/server. However Free Company Masters who 'own' the FC house should not be penalized, they should be able to own an FC house and a personal house. I can support the restriction to account/server, so long as the exception is also made for FC Masters, otherwise it's unfairly penalizing FC masters.

    Do we have lore yet for the teleport costs in Othard? Eorzea teleport costs help fun the rebuild from the calamity IIRC. Othard was not affected by this. I'm guessing an 'international travel tax' is the reason, but not sure.

    ...the rank 1 veteran bills give 1k each. You essentially make your money back by killing one. And furthermore, every week you'll get around 10k+ by just doing 5 challenge log items.

    I've nothing but gained money by doing hunts, quests among other things in this expansion. if 999 a teleport is killing you, you may need to re-evaluate the amount of times you teleport. I go to each zone teleport wise.

    Also, use the tools at your disposal: make your free teleport a zone in Doma and you drastically reduce that problem.

    1000 gils is too much for you? Why do you have 10k gils only or smth? This cost is still a joke. You can gather and sell 1 potato and make them back. Also while you are levelling quests and mobs in dungeons offer you gils. Devs know very what they are doing. If teleport costs threaten to destroy your purse then you must be doing something horribly wrong.

    Is there any plan to lower teleport prices because seeing 999 for many teleports makes it so expensive.

    No, the plan should be to make it even more expensive.
    So the antisocial and lazy fk´s learn to be more patient and wait for each others.

    That's how it is essentially in real life. The farther you live from a travel destination, the more it costs. Like if you got a domestic flight in the US, it is usually very cheap. But like when I went to Japan to see my girlfriend at the time, it was $1,500 or so.
