I honestly think it is a move towards micro-transactions and ff14 going free to play format with purchasable items. That could carry over. For a dieing game it could help bring more revenue in then just counting on sub fees. It also allows new players to come in , buy some items to help get them a head and up to 90 fast so they can take part with everyone else. Who knows.
No matter what the reason, the fix is easy with little cost considering they may lose money on this move as it is. Any management team with any brains would just tell their IT dept to make the change.
