The whole discount thing was because they're compensating for people who have been patient while they totally rebuild their game. FFXI has been fully functional, more popular, and fun for years. People were/have been getting their money's worth at the current rate. Why do you suddenly feel like the game isn't worth $12.95 to you just because they decided to give people in a DIFFERENT GAME a cut rate? Either it isn't worth that much to you at all and you should quit, or you're being overly entitled.

If FFXI was in some immediate danger or it was the second year of its life and still significantly dysfunctional, I'd understand such a demand. They did this for FFXIV because they pretty much needed to. FFXI doesn't have that kind of need right now. It still has far more players who have been paying $12.95 for years and have been happy (mostly). The price is conssumerate with what it is worth to people. You release a badly broken game that needs a lot of fixing just to be funcitonal, of course it's not going to be worth as much to people.

Unless you can prove to me that you would of came here posting crying for a discount even if they didn't offer this FFXIV program, you don't have a leg to stand on- Unless you were about to quit anyway, FFXI was still worth your $12.95.
