Bottom line is, people were looking forward to this thing big time. Now? Not to much. It was a big part of the patch for many people and it turned into a let down. Not to mention that they are not suspicious of personal housing prices. Yoshi says they will be lower, but Yoshi says a lot and means little.
Housing has really left a sour taste in a lot of the playerbase
Everyone is hoarding gil, right now the market across the board has crashed to to an unbelievable low
Only gil being traded is the recycled gil leaving from 1 player to another, nothing is driving the economy aka Thriving to push it forward
Some players get the gil and hoard away, which in turn leaves less gil in the economy to purchase goods
The housing market is the stupidest thing they did to ruin a whole games economy
It should have been a % tier
If you have < 20 members in your FC you get up to the 6th tier right
< 50 6th or 5th or 4th
< 100 3rd
> 100 2nd
> 200 1st
If you want to pay for a rank higher add +10mil to total, so if a FC with 20 players wants a 1st tier house, cost them roughly an extra 50mil to get rights to buy
Then use the % of guild members in FC with proportion to an amount that would equal to the 6th tier and 1st tier
No one player should be putting up more than 1mil per person
It's retarded how a stupid thing which will not be used that much by the playerbase, has ruined the game economy to fulfill it's needs
