    I agree.
    I looked at the price of the 25 estate token pack in auction, and then looked at the price of the smallest house. At the time, the packs were 480k each, the house itself is 25k.

    ● Upkeep is 2 estate tokens per week.

    ● 25 tokens=12 weeks of the small house=480k

    Ok, so why not buy a new house every week?

    ● 25k x 12 weeks = 300k

    Rent is more expensive than the actual house. Too bad we cant buy the same, but new house every week.

    The rent/upkeep scheme feels like it's designed to milk players for all they're worth - I'm not saying that was the intent! I figure devs were looking for a way to control server resource consumption as well as make money. BUT, having to pay rent in game is too much like real life - it's tedious to have to pay your big bills and mortgage/rent payments are usually the worst of the lot. Most people play games like AL to get away from all that. We want fantasy, not reality!

    Sts should make estate token quest (X2/X3) per week. And for those who have to pay alot on estate tokens for their 1k plat houses. Maybe sts can introduce estate token in elite runners chest(all) so that all lvl players can get them.

    I feel the weekly quest for 1 token is ridiculous and u can't even get the quest unless u paid upkeep that makes no sence we need a daily token quest or I agree elite runner chest should drop estate tokens too.

    I think that paying upkeep on the starter house is easy enough for almost anyone to do.

    Earning 30 Story Tokens takes less than 10 minutes a week, and Boltag's quest involves doing things that players are going to do anyways.

    I have been holding off on making any rash criticisms until some time had passed to see how things would go. Sts has done a few things to help players get more story tokens and a quest for a estate token.
    However the benefits of owning a house especially a big one seem way too small for the cost. If houses provided sustainable items as part of owning them rent would not be a big deal. Imagine a house pet or plant that grants items like Klass and Shazbot do on a daily basis. That would calm some of the rent frustration. It is just a vanity as it stands and I think something needs to be improved or changed so houses dont end up abandoned after a few months and the newness/initial fun wears off.

    Only sts knows for sure how well players are doing with housing and how much plat and effort is being put into them but like anything new its great at first then gets old. Hopefully Sts has a plan to keep housing fresh and sustainable for the players

    Don't bother, the homeless are well armed and prepared to take revenge on the flimsy pretense of government who would dare allow its citizens to suffer!

    If only we can decorate the guildhall with disco ball, it will be a blast!
    I'm on the same boat though, I'd rather use my story tokens to Animancy or egg crates than use it for estate token.
