It's not SE's fault that you have been playing this game this long and they came up with a great marketing strategy that made their current players jealous of the buyers of this package. You are a number, unfortunately you are not the number that will be receiving this item, that is unless they bend to the "omg i am so angry that I didnt receieve a hat! I have been here forever; since the beginging! Man you guys suck! This game is going in the wrong direction! blah blah blah."

Here is a great tid bit of information to relax that mush in your head. Maybe this will make you realize that you ARE JUST A NUMBER:

All database numbers are from FFXIAH.com and updated frequently:

Total Active Accounts: 300,530
SE Monthly Fee for FFXI: 12.95

300,530X12.95 = $3,891,863.50

3,891,863.50 x 12 (Months) = $46,702,362.00

I would be willing to bet, they could get away without your 12.95. So if you are pissed that you aren't being taken care of as a long time customer, write a letter, lose you account, and GTFO.
Where'd you answer the question? Oh right, you didn't because you can't. Going off on a tangent about something else to deflect the question doesn't resolve the question no matter how hard you try. (Not even including your total lack of understanding about net income that has absolutely nothing to do with anything plus the fact that you seem to think they are making quite a good bit of money which is detrimental to your non-existant "argument" in that they are making an even larger grab at money by trying to lure people who have already paid for the content into buying said content yet again. You want to argue that? Then answer the question I popped without deflecting it, which is the heart of the matter that you and a few others seem to dodge at every turn.)

Edit: Oh and we're done with the LOUD NOISES? That's too bad, the yelling made you sound intelligent.
