    So now even though I am not paying to have it I still have wardrobe 3/4 in my way when I try to swap invents when swapping gear. ie update introduces something that is actually a detriment to players unless they pay more money....

    What? Son of a... the one thing I didn't want to see and now not only do I have to move around those buttons, but they aren't even grayed out so I can also click on them by mistake and open the inaccessible Wardrobe to waste even more time. Yipee...

    Ugh, I'm rapidly losing interest in playing right now.

    By now FFXI should be like 5 dollars a month. We are already paying for a "dead" MMORPG.

    No Thanks this time SE
    You paid for a service they provided, this is a service industry. You paid what you thought the service was worth, if not you would not of paid it.
    If you don't want the extra space, don't get it. It's not something you need or have to get.

    Once upon a time there was a small store that sold apples, they had 100 customers all buying 1 apple a week for $1. The store was making $100 and paid a young man called jack $60, he could climb to the very top of the trees to pick the best apples!

    Suddenly a big bad wolf opened a store next door selling pears, overnight the apple store lost half of his customers!! Now the store only brings in $50 a week and he can no longer afford to employ Jack ;-; and so hires Jacks mother Lucy for $30 who picks apples from the floor around the tree to sell at the store.

    Customers are now angry that the apples aren't as bright and juicy as before and start shouting and stomping their feet! they demand the apples sell for 50cents! The apple shop owner relents and sells the apples for 50cents. The shop now makes $25 a week!

    Now the shop can't afford to pay Lucy either! >.< The shop closes because they can't afford to pay anyone to pick any apples and now nobody in the land can buy apples anymore from anyone! the pear shop next door increases their prices to $2.

    The wolf who owns the pear shop buys a ferrari and is very happy.

    The end~

    I would argue that the quality in apples went down, the wolf noticed this and saw an opportunity to open a store selling quality goods people would want to buy.

    Noticing this, the apple shop decided to start charging for the caramel that was previously free.

    Suddenly a big bad wolf who already worked for the store opened a second storefront next door selling americanized apples, overnight the apple store lost half of his customers!! Now the store only brings in $50 a week from the original storefront and can completely afford to keep Jack working but sees no reason to ;-; and so they hire Jacks mother Lucy for $30 who picks apples from the floor around the tree to sell at the store.

    Customers are now angry that the apples aren't as bright and juicy as before and start shouting and stomping their feet! they demand the apples sell for 50cents! The apple shop owner refuses and decides to start selling the apple on top of a stick. The shop still makes plenty of money a week over their storefronts!

    Now the shop can completely afford to pay Lucy still also! >.< But the shop closes that storefront because they decide that revenue stream is less efficient. The pear shop next door increases their prices to $2, it quickly goes out of business as well.

    The wolf who told the store to open the americanized apple storefront buys a ferrari and is very happy, all the people who liked the original apples are sad. The End.

    Trust me, I really dislike how "they" treated the "apples" (especially how they funneled all the money from "the apples" into "the pears" to pay for its creation). I quit XI for over 2 years and now, even as a FF fan I refuse to buy most of the games the "pear shop" makes anymore because I hate them so much. I sure won't be buying the 15th game they make or 16th or any reboots from here on out. That bridge was badly burned.

    XI however is a game I support for my own selfish interests, there is nothing like ffxi on the market and I still like to play an mmorpg (even though the genre is pretty much dead at this point and no more are being made). If there was another company running a game similar to xi I would be gone and give them nothing ever again. I sure as heck would never buy their pears no matter what happened, even if it meant starving to death.

    Pears are garbage and I hope they rot, only braindead morons would eat pears.

    Inflation's a funny argument to bring into this. I don't think anyone wants to turn this into an economics class covering the last 14 years. If that's the route you want to take there are other factors to take into consideration such as development team size and server upkeep then vs now, both of which undoubtedly cost significantly less today.

    Out of curiousity, which other games offer similar "services" at "ridiculously" higher prices?

    lol, I'd love to know what makes you think those against the $4/month fee are all stuffing their faces with junk food.

Here's a mind blown moment... the extra wardrobes arent for you! Use the porter slips. Use your $1 mules. You're not intelligent enough to see the impact of the extra space.

    It is really not about 2~4$ a month, the problem has been explained by many people in this post, along with more than valid arguments.

    I'm not looking to brag about it, this is not the point, but I used to buy (not anymore because I can't stand SE's new ways of handling things, so no more money from me) all FF OSTs, several books, and last year I bought FFXI Memorial book and FFXI jigsaw puzzle (took me a week to complete...). What I mean is that I don't care at all about spending 4$ but I have been paying the sub for this game for 13 years and as I said they never really took care of it. OSTs or books are one thing. On the other hand, optional services that come from nowhere without any explanation in an already pretty much abandonned game is, I repeat myself, an insulting move.
