Yes, the 10k gil/week per player is completely trivial, but when you start looking at the total economic impact, it's actually a lot more than you think it is.
    But why though? Why do we need this gil sink in particular? It's insignificant to the players that have been playing a while and an annoyance to newer ones. What about apartments or housing in general warrants this supposedly needed gil sink?

    Short answer: We don't need it.

    Long answer: We don't need it but the OP is pushing for it anyway, even though it's a bad idea. Gotta admire their tenacity I guess.

    Well they got SE to take their idea of the placard timer. I guess they think SE will take other ideas from them. *shrug*

    I would like a source on this myself. Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence.

    Spoiler: It hasn't even slowed down the housing flippers. It's only punished legit players and FCs wanting their first time homes.
