We've been proactively removing RMT, but there is still a bit of RMT gil left in the economy which we've accounted for when creating the pricing.
In patch 2.1 you'll be able to generate a bit more gil. Battle classes can earn an average of 15,000-18,000 gil per day, and with role bonuses in the Duty Roulette this can exceed 20,000 gil. Doing this several days a week you can save up quite a bit of gil, and if all FC members do the same, it will become a considerable amount. We estimate that by doing this for around three months you should be able to purchase land.
For new users playing on Legacy servers, there were questions about how they would be able to purchase land as it's much more expensive, so moving forward we will be making adjustments to the lower limits. The prices listed in the patch notes are the high prices, and there have been comments that no one will buy them, but again, we will look at conditions and look into reducing the lower limits. We'll be keeping a close on eye on how everyone is making gil and on the economic conditions for each World.
We understand that the initial prices for housing are extremely high, but this is a patch filled with a lot of content, so as you are having fun and enjoying everything the price will come down.
Heaven forbid you have a goal you can't instantly get, that would be stupid. "I think bosses should have one HP and my relic gear should be handed to me. Why should I have to farm tomes? Why is there still a limit? That's so stupid, content should all just be handed to me at the press of a button."
You guys are goofy. Grow up. You don't know more about the game then the people who made it. They have actual data showing how much gil people still have. They didn't just go "Oh man one guy as a ton of gil so we're going to raise prices for every server!" Your gil income is getting increased for just questing, I know plenty of people who make well over a mil a day by just messing with the markets who aren't even that good at it (As good ones will tell you they make tens of millions).
It's supposed to be a big long term goal, not "Oh well I bought this house it's neat, time to never visit it again until next patch!" like you guys want it to be.
The goal shouldn't be getting the damn land, it should be perfecting the house the way you want it. Buying the land and house should just be step 1&2.

Just got a formal invitation to Rowland's wedding. It sucks that I can't make it out there. I'll have to send him some cheese curds or something as a wedding gift.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
