Pixela, they are just being contrary to bother you. Everything you said makes perfect sense and of course they are upset they didn't think things through. FFXI has been known for ages to have some of the most cutthroat and opportunistic people at the high end, especially those that participated in most of its end game in 75 era. Those same people are now running a "free" server with no ulterior motives, just being altruistic and generous, yea I'm sure. When they wanted to relive those glory days in the aery, they wanted to relive every aspect lol. I don't get how they can trust them either so blindly. People have just become dumber over the years as we are in this weird backwards far left utopia.
