Oh nooooes! Now everyone - not just the people a select clique feels are worthy - will be able to experience the content of the game they are paying for! FFXI IS RUINED!

Obvs. only 10% of the subscription paying population should get to do 90% of the content! Stupid scrubs who want to get to play the full game - they are ruining everything!

/sarcasm off.

For serious - anyone complaining about these changes is one of those people who can't feel good about themselves unless they can somehow "prove" they are better than other people. Get a self-esteem.

I just rerolled - and I am really happy to see that I will be able to gear up my character without sacrificing my entire life for it - and being on some ridiculous schedule - and having to spend weeks farming gil... Way to go SE - you're taking this game in the right direction.
