I've got a little FC. 9-10 active players. Â All adults, most with full time jobs/schooling and families. Â After months of working very hard, farming dungeons and botany/mining/crafting and things like materials, we saved just under 2 million gil. Â MONTHS of work went into this- often to the exclusion of progression and roleplay.
2 million.
All of us pooling together.
2. million.
Screw people that say 'you should have gamed the markets more!' or who are questioning our dedication to the FC or to the game in general. Â I didn't buy an auction house game. Â I didn't buy a 'farm for 8+ hours a day' game. Â I bought a roleplaying game, one which promised housing as one of it's features. Â Instead, I am being told by some people that, for some reason, I <DESERVE> to be excluded from that promised feature because I'm....not good enough?
Fuck that.
I am waiting for the prices to fall- because I believe they will. Â And while I wait, I will continue to contribute to our FC bank, because I want the members of the group I lead to be able to have access to something that was promised from the start of the game. Â I will also vociferously and vehemently oppose the idea that smaller FCs, non-hardcore (whatever the hell -that- means) FCs, or 'less dedicated' *snort* FCs do not deserve to see promised content.
Go get 'em C'!
