Housing crisis is incentivizing RMT

[Dualblade]

Of all the problems with housing gil is the least of it, most people who want a house but don't have it already have enough gil to get a Medium, no RMT used at all. Hell I have enough for a Medium house and I don't have a dog in this race.

Plus anyone paying actual money just for a house in-game is both going too far into an obsession over it and just an idiot.

On "missing the point" ...a little bit, yes. Though when I said most people have the gil already for it I also ment if there were any houses for them to get. Hence why gil is the least of these peoples worries with housing.

If you're replying to me, I think you might have missed the point.

There are no houses to buy, particularly in large servers. It doesn't matter how much gil people have by legal means because the only houses that are going to be available are going to be sold under the table for ludicrous prices. I've seen people ask for as much as 30 million for a small plot with an FC attached. Those same people are going to resell their houses for prohibitive prices, sometimes for real money and this isn't even a rare occurance if you go the rounds with this market online.

I wouldn't have a problem if the game was asking even 50 million for a small, so long as that gil is sunk. I have a problem that this gil is being funneled to a select few players who are, literally, being rewarded for being bad people.
