Mog Sachel for Software Token? how annoying

[Alhanelem]

Label me slightly annoyed, I understand this was a bonus item but we still have to pay for that hardware token, I don't think it very fair to make it available to those that don't pay for the security token if you're not going to give those of us who do something else

The $9.99 isn't for the mog satchel, as much as many of us who dont care about security would like to think it is. It's for the token and the shipping costs. They don't have to ship you a software token.

Also, as others mentioned, it's not unreasonable for it to be free since a smartphone (typically) costs a lot more than $9.99.

the idea behind the software token was to give extra security to people who already had the smart phone. it isn't like you are going to go out and buy a smart phone just for that, therefore that argument is not a valid one.

if they made you pay for the software token it would be different but they don't. therefore the only bonus that it should have is the extra security.

Again, you are paying for the security token, not the satchel. The satchel was there to encourage people to use the security device. If you were paying for the satchel that would be a micro-transaction. This game isn't F2P.

yeah because most people don't own smartphones these days..... a cheap smartphone costs around 30-50 bucks I have one that runs on android but i can't download apps damn you cricket with your economically awesome phones!

again your missing the fact that in order to even have access to the software itself you have to own a smartphone first, the cost of the phone is your fee for using the software version of their product for free.

and i'm sure the idea behind the software token was to add a broader range of players who probably don't want to bother paying 10 bucks for a physical object, and probably has less security (typically speaking) since they didnt invest in the 10 dollar item because hey guess what they have a smart phone.... If you pay 10 bucks for the physical product you are practically garunteed (within human bounds of perfection) security protection, since you yourself are the warden and something like data being wiped from your phone or your phone pooping on you are far less likely to endanger a standalone product. plus it looks fancy and you can attach other ffxi baubles to it so people can identify you while you walk around in RL!

I switched to the software token from a hardware token for convenience sake. I don't like keeping track of the tiny little keyfob.

this is also a use for the software token!

I'd like to get access to the mog satchel without having to use the security token/app. I don't care if I have to pay for it, I'd gladly pay for more storage, but don't really want the hassle of inputting the security code every time I log in ><

you have a choice of allowing one time log-ins when you sucessfully complete a password check, so you don't have to bother with it over and over again

Looks like you have to keep the app/token hooked to your account in order to keep the satchel, right? If so, then the token buyers have an edge if they don't want to use a token anymore/token died. Stop complaining srsly

this is false, you do not have to keep the token to keep the sachel, once you have attached the token(both hardware or software) all POL/FFXI accounts/options attached to that SE account get the sachel even if you decide to remove it later, this will only apply to active options, inactive ones and new ones after it has been removed will not get the sachel
