Probably Cancelling My Subscription

[Pence]

just ignore the trolls don't let them derail. come in say you unsub move on let the trolls see there game disapear.

Didn't happen the past 2 housing launches, despite people crying about it. The game has actually grown.

The trolls are quite happy.

Yup I'm canceling soon as well, I was excited for the new area housing and new content was the cherry on top, but I can't enjoy what part of the content I CAN access.

Unsubbed. SE has 78 days to do something before my sub runs out and I don't reup.

Should be more than enough time to get all the new primal weapons and ultimate savage clear.

Posted this in another thread already; Check out the FFXIVHousingMarket subreddit- there is already people selling new housing plots at absurd prices. That's a kick in the groin for honest players- you can't buy a house but people are making ridiculous profits on them. Sickening.

Hopefully SE banhammers these fools hard, but I doubt they have the sense to do that.

I was salty the first 5 minutes but I guess I expected this tbh. And although housing is not the main draw for me in the game, I understand that for those it is, it may leave a sour taste. So I agree that stopping to play FFXIV is a good idea. I think there are a lot of other games that may seem more appealing if this is your main draw.

Gotta be honest, I feel the same way, and it KILLS me. I did everything I could, stayed up until 6am EST for my shot, got kicked from the lobby server, stuck in a queue for 20 minutes, and by then every last bit of it had vanished. Now, I can only imagine how working professionals who couldn't afford to take this particular night to get this must feel. It was all gone in 20 minutes, an entire feature of the patch just...gone. It is enough to make anyone who actually cares about this sort of thing rethink their $15/mo.

Already cancelled mine, only subbed for Eureka and a house, but since I got neither of those two, I have decided that after October, I will be taking break for few months (might log in for the christmas event).

That's exactly how it is for me too, Eureka and Shirogane were the only 2 things I was looking forward to in 4.1, gonna take a break when my sub ends at the end of this month until 4.2

I can't say that I'll unsubscribe, because at this stage of the game, I'd be a fool to throw away what I've already accumulated, and I didn't ante up all my hopes on this. I will say that the handling of the 4.1 patch and the management thereof has been nothing short of abysmal. This is the first housing expansion we've had, and it went over like a lead balloon. Between server overload, first-come-first-serve, alts, and the basic failure of the housing system in general, the whole thing smacks of a real disconnect between the developers and the players.

As a poster further up said, it's soured me regarding my opinion of the development team, and I think a substantial number of players have the same opinion. After having purchased the expansion, to see this as the first real patch is... disappointing. I fear that if 4.2 is as deleterious as this one, I may have to leave instead of throwing good money after bad.

I've loved this game for years, and never ever seriously considered stepping away no matter what other issues it has had until today. This was absolutely the biggest failure I have seen since I started at 2.0 launch. How did no one on the dev team see this coming? If they're going to artificially limit the supply AT LEAST make it expensive enough to go along with it. Years ago when housing was first released plots sat empty on my server for weeks and months after because VERY FEW people had the money for it. Now the cost of a large house appears to be pocket change for a very large amount of people. If you're not going to add more housing at least make housing costs more reflective of the actual supply/demand involved. 100-300M for larges, 50-100M for mediums, and 25-35M for smalls would be good ranges.
