We know that they've looked at least 3 months down the road for pricing, and they've stated that it won't drop below the 50% mark, and that's IF it doesn't sell. Â
In regards to the Legacy servers, they got it worst of all, IMHO. Â First they had a 10% gil reduction across the board, and while SE lowered the overall prices of items to "give them the same buying power" it's still a reduction in efforts. Â After that was said and done, they still went into the servers and pro-rated the housing based on the gil capacity. Â Think of the poor folks that are fresh to 2.0 that decided to join a Legacy server. Â
In regards to working towards a common goal, I'm all for this. Â Trouble is, we have been since day one, and unfortunately it doesn't appear we've made sufficient progress in SE's eyes. Â
As far as offering incentives for fund donations, that's worked up to a point as well, however who's going to want to drop those large sums of money now that all of the Companies out there still interested are going to be hoarding their gil more than they were previously?
Some math's been done over on the official forum, and it kind of shows the scope of what SE is asking for from us at this point. Â Let me preface by saying that IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM DO I SUPPORT RMT. Â With that said, at the current prices they are offering their illegal market of gil at, it would cost a little over $18,000 USD to be able to afford the largest house on a Rank 1 server. Â That's absolutely preposterous, and it certainly doesn't seem to reward the folks that have worked hard and saved up for this feature. Â If a server had more money to start with, they simply increased the cost of housing. Â I really don't see a clear winner here.
Building up and furnishing the property, in my opinion, should be the long term goal. Â Or let us buy our properties with the nigh-useless Free Company points we've earned.
