Dead from Plot hunting and I ask YOU a Question

[Yshtola]

And once again, all this is would do, at best, is partially stifle a symptom, while actually worsening the underlying cause. People stalk plots so much, particularly on certain servers, exactly because there is a shortage of plots to go around. Increasing prices simply puts more buying power in the hands of people with more gil, meaning those with less gil have an even more reduced chance at getting a plot. On many servers practically every district has every plot already taken, meaning a gil increase will just leave the market even more lopsided and inaccessible. This fantasyland you're talking about where suddenly plots open up and timers are able to count down because the property is now even MORE valuable is never going to happen, in fact it's precisely the opposite. Not to mention, as a method of combating RMT? This would literally drive RMT through the roof, because nobody who doesn't already have the cash to throw away is going to grind up 20, 15, or even 10M gil just for a small, instead they'd just buy the gil instead.

Here's a very simple tip, save your gil. That's what people used to do. Fantasyland? That's how things worked around here and even the most casual FCs could obtain a house. You clearly missed the part about how RMT thrives when things are so easy to obtain, just as it does when things are on the opposite end. There's a sweet spot and small houses for 3 to 3.5m is definitely not in that sweet spot in the current situation where you have eastern cherry trees being sold for 8m.

You want to pull out the old rmt boogeyman card, at least try to make it look like you know what you are talking about. Pegasus mounts, leve kits, gear, minions, emotes, etc. There are so many items that are being traded in the 8 digits, but I don't see you talking about how those items are driving RMT through the roof. Checkmate.

I also think you drastically overestimate just how much gil most players have, as well as the overlap between the gil-making community and the lifestyle/RP community. The sorts of people who want to spend their time decorating a house to look like a coffeehouse or sauna and the sorts of people who love to play the marketboard all day probably do not share a large intersection on a Venn diagram. Hell, if the devs just created house-independent gardening, many people would drop their houses outright.

That's great and all, but that's all anecdotal. I would have asked you to prove what you're saying, but we both know you can't do that. Maybe one day you'll get to take a glance at the underbelly. Until then, you can keep believing the two classes of players you just described don't mingle with each other.

Sorry, but someone who owns almost fifty houses and a fleet of airships and submersibles complaining about how "entitled" someone is for wanting to be able to purchase even just one small is nothing but laughable.

What am I complaining about exactly? I'm pointing out that you're the very reason why you can't even own a house. You want 200 submarines for yourself or your FC? You better have a couple of gil capped retainers. That's the difference between you and me. I'm willing to put in the effort in order to obtain something while you're here whining and complaining about how difficult it is to obtain 20m. Catch up.
