Fix Housing Megathread

[Almagnus1]

Apartment still costs 500k. Unless it becomes free, dropping the required GC rank is probably not going to make a difference. Most people don’t drop 500k gils just to check things out. (Which was why I tried to suggest a demo/trial experience quest for apartment before.)

How about 200k then? That's still low enough that most players should be able to afford it. IMO there still needs to be a buy in cost because if it's free then EVERYONE gets an apartment because they can.... which doesn't really help things IMO.

I see them kind of in a bind and just decided that they might as well direct possible additional resources toward adding wards, instead of betting on a new version of instance housing that is unproven (as a business decision).

Yeah, it's a risk vs reward thing for them... and SE is being cautious with it (which as infuriating as it is is a good thing).
