This is exactly like a company dropping the price on something after you buy it. Generally, it's tough luck, carveat emptor, buyer beware. People who buy something before the price goes down aren't generally entitled to a refund or discount.
This is the way I look at it too. Even if the original $10 charge were about revenue (which I don't think it was), this wouldn't be any different than price drops on consoles or discounted "greatest hits" games. For that matter, consider DLC bundled for free with ultimate collections after the psychos like me paid the price of the game over again for the downloads on initial release.
Just like that DLC I don't feel cheated at all because I know I'm paying to get it when I want it. I've gotten way more than $10 of satisfaction out of years of that satchel. I couldn't care less if SE were to offer the satchel for free to everyone now, security app or not.

Question I don't have a cell phone is there anything I can buy that isn't a phone that can run this? Someone told me it would work on a ipod or an ipad is that true?
....Why not just get the Security Token itself? It would be cheaper....
I never thought that after all this time, there are this many people without a satchel.
Edit: Also, if you think you're getting screwed for others getting for free what you also got for free? Get over it.

While I have no problem with the cell phone version being free, in fact I am glad... I would like them to make a different change to the program. When you log in from the same computer on a blizzard game it only asks you to authenticate once or twice a month. Personally I find the log in process for ffxi pretty clunky, entering my authenticator 3 times every time I want to play just makes it that much worse, to the point where most of the time I just don't bother. I know it's kind of lazy, but I wish SE would take that road.
