Lol.... you're so bitter. You obviously missed the point.... THE POINT IS.... you don't have to farm gil everyday or for excessive amounts of time to make money if you're smart about it. Simply not wanting to put ANY time into moneymaking is the problem. Good luck with your housing bud.... hope you and your FC enjoy your virtual hangout time... in a few months.
I don't understand why people have to be ***** about this. Not everyone is good at making gill, also a lot of people just don't have the time to spend. Yeah I can make about 15k a day, but that's just though selling treasure maps, and the prices on those have been steadily dropping, last night on ultros they were down to 10k, from 13k a few days ago. I am a pretty casual player, I only have a 50 BLM and 50 mining, so my options are limited. I'm not complaining that I cant make a million gill, but its obviously not so simple as some make it out to be.
Yeah I should probably level GSM or something, but then that's just more gill invested into that and less I'm making over all, and the way people make it sound, there really isn't any money in professions anyway so why bother.
The only reason I leveled mining was I assumed with the addition of housing raw materials might jump in price, that obviously didn't pan out. I was going to level BOT right after that but decided that might just be a waste of time now, will probably still do that also though.
Yeah I can do beast man dailies, but as an ex-WoW player I'm just a little burnt on the whole, "Lets run the same quests everyday for a month for a mount reward" at this point in my life, I play this game to have fun and relax after work, not have a second job. You can say what you want, but logging in everyday and having a "to do" list every night is like doing chores, I'd rather be running dungeons or leveling another class aka having fun.

Then add to the fact that I won't always want to be just farming gill, last night I logged on and my FC was forming an Ultima HM group. We ran that for about an hour, didn't clear it but came pretty close and everyone got a chance to learn the fight. But you could look at that as "I just wasted an hour I could have been making gill". I don't think that way, but some of you make it sound like that's the way it is.
Initially, I wasn't to thrilled by the idea of housing, but after seeing some of the houses and running around the zone, I think it would be pretty nice to have a house for our FC to hang out it. And no matter what any of you say, SE did not prepare anyone for the actually costs involved. But it is what it is, and there is no reason to belittle someone for being upset about it just cause they didn't have the time to invest that you do. Obviously, the majority of us have accepted it, and are saving up for a house, but it doesn't mean we have to be happy about it at the same time
Its already been said that this is just a stall tactic on their part, as the servers went ready or whatever, and I really think this is true. But not even just because of the sever issue, but for the whole game overall. Not everyone rushed to 50 and there is always more people picking this game up, it just feels to me that they did more to help with leveling and the initial end game (as far as distributing gear between the 50 dungeons, adding the DR, adding CT) then anything else. Honestly at this point I wish I hadn't hit 50 so soon, I would much rather be a fresh 50 now, then before 2.1 when the only real thing to do was run WP over and over again.
I'm anxious to see where this game is in about 4 months, after the next patch and when more people are able to afford housing, the added turns to coil, and whatever else they throw at us.
