Gil and 2.1Follow

I read the housing has multiple instances.

What does that even mean? When one neighbor hood fills up a new one opens? Or do they mean the instances within the houses?

IMO, houses should be like the TARDIS. Bigger on the indside.

If there are 5 wards, that would seem to make the the purchase for less pressing.

Do you pick which one you enter at the zoneline?

EDIT: Aha! That's how you got to 15 of the plots you wanted. 3 houses at 5 wards, just like you said. So there is still some urgency if you really want one of the 15 available.

People did save gil. Some people saved quite a lot. I did. You can wave your swinging bank accout all you want.

The TRUTH is that Yoshi at worst flat out lied and at best GROSSLY misled everyone about how much housing would cost.

I counted last night and I have ~275k in gold bags on my retainer. That's every bag minus maybe 3k. So, yeah. I saved damn near EVERY gold bag the game gave me so far. There are more I could do, sure. But you can't make math work in a way it doesn't. Even if the game gave you a million gil for getting through every quest, that doesn't remotely come close to what he said we should be thinking the costs were.

So quit blaming players for someone else's dishonesty.

Not everyone was at endgame when tomes sold for 100k a pop or whatever outrageous amount they were. I certainly wasn't. I was enjoying the game as a casual player having fun crafting, gathering etc. Casual players are what this game was supposedly about... yet asking 8m for a small plot is anything but casual. Kudos to you and your friends for making a lot of money and buying a small plot. You don't represent the average player. My FC has 50+ active players, and from talking with many of them, the vast majority have between 20k-200k TOTAL. They play the game to have fun, to get better gear, and advance their characters. Not to hoard gil for FC Housing. I get the fact that you don't really give a crap if others can't afford stuff that you can, but at least understand some perspective.

Oh, and just fyi, it doesn't always take 5 minutes to get a peisteskin map. This morning I spent almost 50 minutes of straight mining before I got one. It's not always that long, but it's certainly not "max 5 minutes".

You have no idea what you are talking about and I find you highly offensive. I have been playing my *** off in this game and I never even had 200,000 yet... I spend very little and all my gear is from raids right now and most of it came that way..

Not everyone rushed through the game... I have no alt characters that I spent tomes on. Why do you act like you are better than everyone else and everyone should be just like you..

Sometimes with your comments I wonder if actually play the game or your here just to be little people.

I didnt play this game to make money. i certainly dont play the game to buy gil or run bots.

Yeah, the only people who had money were either banned for RMT activities or spent it all on a house already. No one wants to spend anything on big ticket items any more - either they already have it, or they're saving their money for other things.

What's left is people at the bottom scrambling to sell HQ ingredients and lowbie gear to each other.

Granted, this guy is being an *** about it, but I don't know how you can't have made 200k in this game yet. Just doing the quests and story missions leveling your first job to 50 will get you that. Hell, even with the economy in the state that it's in, if you have any crafts at all you can pull 100k a week without trying very hard, a lot more than that if you are. I have no interest at all in housing in it's current state, but if I wanted to, I could put the money together for a small plot in a couple of months. To say that it's completely unaffordable is silly.

That's fine. Just don't expect many people to value what you say here if that's your attitude. And yeah, I know... it's only a forum, who cares what anyone thinks.

I finally had a huge chunk of tier II and III materia sell yesterday. Guess it was a slow day for other sellers. Broke 100K gil for the first time in the game.

Then promptly spent half of it upgrading gear for my 46 WHM.
