Apartments need Rent

I have been doing the coffee biscuit leve. That leve just craps gil on you and all you need to do is spend a couple hours gathering and crafting to make a couple hundred gil. Do every day and you easily make 1mil+ a week.

A week's worth of leve allowances for Coffee Biscuits is about 750k (6 leves per day * 7 days * about 18k per leve).

But it's easy to fall into the mistake of thinking that just because you play a certain way that everyone else is playing that way or wants to, or that others can play the same number of hours a week that you do. Someone who can only play 4-5 hours a week isn't going to want to spend half of it gathering and crafting for Coffee Biscuit leves, or any other activity solely for the purpose of making gil. They're going to want to spend it on MSQ or other things relevant to their character's progression.

Yes, there are a lot of rich players out there because they've got extra time on their hands to spend doing things like making Coffee Biscuits. There are also a lot of "poor" players who don't have the time to farm gil. They can still make a couple of hundred thousand a week off their usual routine but that's about it unless they get really lucky with a quick venture return or rare instance drop.

Amazing how a bunch of disingenuous posters keep taking that quote out of context solely to smear me over something that's ancient and aimed SPECIFICALLY at addressing the house flipping market because of all the bad RMT stuff it was driving at the time with prices that were 4-5x the SE sticker price... if not higher.

Not all of them are being disingenuous. Most weren't around back when it was an issue to know what it was like. They only know what things are like now.\

It hasn't though? Your idea did nothing. The flippers and resellers are still at it. I just saw one flip a small FC /w house on Balmung for 150 million gil. I've seen flippers sell housing plots as relocations as RMT. Your idea not only failed miserably, but it's made housing even worse for the average player.

Did the timer completely stopped flipping? No, but it is far, far less than what had been going on. A player now has a chance to buy a house direct from the game at the intended prices instead of going through a flipper for several times the price set by SE. That wasn't true on the NA worlds for all of 4.0 and 4.1. If you wanted to buy a house then, it was pay the flipper price or go without.
