Donate Gil to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund

Basically OP is condoning SE sanctioned RMT... y'ok..
Also, like someone said before, why do you need some in-game item to feel the need to give. Talk about greedy. They're lives are being altered, possibly forever and you want something for a game that will shut down eventually. So dumb.

the idea of offering an in game item is to encourage players who"only care about FFXI" to donate as well. we all know that most of us would donate without a second thought expecting no reward in return. but those out there who could give a rats ass about lives and only care about their own would need some "encouragement" to donate. this way those who donated out of the kindness of their hearts who didn't expect a reward would know they did something nice for Japan and get something a little extra for their generosity, while the ones who don't give a damn would get their damned little "special in game item" for in their eyes"Paying for a neat new item to play with in game" while still at leats helping the cause.

I see what you mean, but I think if that's the ONLY reason why people are donating, then they shouldn't bother donating at all. Because really, in a way they wouldn't be donating, they'd just be paying for the item. Plus, asking for an item is asking SE to create some item for the playerbase when they already have more then enough on their plates.

in my eyes the end justifies the means. so if throwing some little item at players to get them to donate to help out japan ends up helping japan..then by all means do it.
