What about when it's 300 mil for the lot and 300 mil for the airship and 300 mil for the retainer?
Ha!
I'm not too too worried about it, because it's logical for them to start this way and then slash the prices dramatically and appropriately as the system gets going and they see a more practical version of how things will actually work.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like 'Well, launch was way more popular than we expected. Let's assume housing is going to be popular far, far beyond our means to distribute it effectively.' And thus, ridiculous pricing.
The other thing is there are going to be people who can afford these prices, and I'm going on the assumption that there are actually quite a lot of them, but that none of them are going to be vocal about it at all, so will appear to be in the minority even if they're not.
My first thought wasn't "This is impossible," but "This is going to take a lot of work," which is probably also what was intended.
What isn't logical is them not releasing these prices far in advance of 'a couple days before patch' and them not expecting a significant backlash. While I don't actually think having ridiculous prices on these things is problematic, especially with the exceeding likelihood that they'll adjust it to reasonable levels as reality makes itself apparent, there are far, far, far better and less upsetting ways to introduce something like this slowly so that it's not bumrushed by the entirety of the way-more-people-than-we-expected population. The way they have done it, while I'm not personally demoralized, should have been obvious that it would instill significant frustration in the player base.
