    Firstly, I would note that the 'SITE FEEDBACK' section is intended for feedback regarding the websites. ^^;

    Could probably be moved to the General Discussion by a moderator.



    And to the topic, it is quite ridiculous, isn't it?

    I also have paid full prices for every add-on (twice actually), and I have bought the game at least... too many times.

    *Looking at the boxes right now, the first one is the 7 discs one, containing the game itself, and the Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia expansions.
    Nice artwork here and there and a 157 page instruction manual with pretty much everything there is to know, descriptions of jobs, areas, and more.
    Large enough to fit those in, and a front that flips open to an image of Selh'teus by Amano Yoshitaka I believe.

    *Then I got 2 or 3 DvDs with the same content to friends who never ended up trying it even (perhaps a little irrelevant). Cheap'o DvD case.
    No booklet other than a quick reference card for the controls.

    *I'm not sure how I got Treasures of Aht Urhgan, I think that box might be lost somewhere, or I got it via POL Viewer.

    *Then I have the stand-alone box for Wings of the Goddess.
    15 page instruction manual with few images by Yoshitaka. Also has short descriptions of the Beastman Confederate. Cheap'o DvD case.

    *Then I have the 2008 edition with the game and the expansions up to WotG. 17 page easy reference guide with instructions on how to register the content. Cheap'o DvD case.

    That's just the physical copies I have purchased (some of them MIA), I have since bought those add-ons, all full-price x 2, as well as the collection that came before the Abyssea-included one via Steam, which obviously have no artwork or nice boxing.

    Not to forget the Security Token from the list, I am not going to even start to count how much I've put into just the game itself, and even less the monthly fees.

    It is a bit sad how the digital market is seemingly overcoming the physical 'products' while the prices seem to be the same but well, it's what it is, and I digress.


    I am not complaining though, I made my own decisions and some of them were unnecessary, but I was fine with it, no issues there.
    I have also become used to with how they treat their players, releasing cheap'o collections so soon after the full-priced add-ons came out is nothing but a slap on the face and a 'haa-haa'.

    I can't really care anymore, even if they start handing out special in-game items that might actually be a little bit useful and fun, to others but us who have been paying the most.

    I probably wont be playing much (still might be paying though, if I can) if a certain friend will not come back (which is rather unlikely).


    That said, I just wanted to add my thoughts and experiences and agree to that I sincerely think I should get something special, too, and then everything they are giving to the new people on top of that!

    I've been rather optimistic all this time, and even now, when many are in distress by the change of the payment method, but I as well I'm losing my hope, perhaps slowly, but surely. =\

    If someone specifically is in charge of this section, they do a very poor job of mediating it. There's some site feebback for you.
