Then you haven't actually looked at the markets recently. Â >.>
Shard markets are gone. Â Crystal markets are basically gone, too. Â The Cluster market is okay, but nothing of what it once was. Â Tomestones are under 18k, and I saw a HQ Vanya chest on the AH for 129k. Â I even saw a set of HQ Vanya breeches on the AH for less money than it takes to buy the materials to make it. -_-
SE has let the bots go on for so long that our once thriving economy has basically tanked. Â Taking all of this money out of circulation (which is what they're doing - because even if people don't have the money for housing now, most are going to avoid spending as much as possible to try to save up every last gil in hopes of saving up enough for a house) is not going to help. Â For that matter, SE was saying that Furniture would be the saving grace of the economy - that many people would want to buy the furniture to furnish their house. Â Well, how exactly is that going to work when only 1% of people can actually afford a house?
So beyond mindless grinding of dungeons and somehow managing to come out with no repair bills, I really don't see how it's possible to save up this amount of gil in any decent amount of time. Â I did the math and by our current rate of savings, it would take my FC five years to save up for the smallest plot of land. Â Five years. Â Two and a half if we managed to catch a plot when it hit 50% before anyone else got it.
How is that even reasonable? Â I mean, seriously?
