    Eh, I honestly don't mean any offense towards you but this willingness of people to pay for more and more features is appalling to me.

    In my view, I pay the subscription, that entitles me to the features within. I'm scared of a game where the company can slap a for-rent sticker on any feature they choose.

    I think that since you have played lots of other games you should understand the meaning of whales and that people who can and do put more money into a game are the people who very often let you play it at the price you do. If not for people like me chances are this game would either not be here anymore or you would be paying more, do you know how many players have alt accounts and mules? You think this game would exist if everyone had 1 account and no mules at all?

    I'm against forced increases for all but not optional increases for those who can and have no problem paying it.

    When I played wow and xiv I refused to pay more than basic because they were in no danger of closing down, when I play this and other smaller mmorpg titles I spend more because I can afford it and I know that my spending helps the game continue running. I've been through the pain of seeing a game I enjoy close down, I really don't want to see it on this.

    End of the day there is a very small niche of hoarders who need this extra inventory, I would spend an extra $4 on it but it's just simply not needed at all. How do I know this? because everyone playing this game played it just fine yesterday before they added it.

    I only got the scenarios when they were discounted in some package or something, don't even remember anymore. But you can't compare them to these Wardrobes anyway.

    Although on the Japanese side of things it seems to be a fairly popular opinion that it would be ok if these things were a 1 time buy only (mainly to help the game a bit) although the "this money isn't going towards XI is it?" comment follows soon after. Which surprises no one. :3

    So now even though I am not paying to have it I still have wardrobe 3/4 in my way when I try to swap invents when swapping gear. ie update introduces something that is actually a detriment to players unless they pay more money....

    What? Son of a... the one thing I didn't want to see and now not only do I have to move around those buttons, but they aren't even grayed out so I can also click on them by mistake and open the inaccessible Wardrobe to waste even more time. Yipee...

    Ugh, I'm rapidly losing interest in playing right now.

    By now FFXI should be like 5 dollars a month. We are already paying for a "dead" MMORPG.

    You paid for a service they provided, this is a service industry. You paid what you thought the service was worth, if not you would not of paid it.
    If you don't want the extra space, don't get it. It's not something you need or have to get.

    Once upon a time there was a small store that sold apples, they had 100 customers all buying 1 apple a week for $1. The store was making $100 and paid a young man called jack $60, he could climb to the very top of the trees to pick the best apples!

    Suddenly a big bad wolf opened a store next door selling pears, overnight the apple store lost half of his customers!! Now the store only brings in $50 a week and he can no longer afford to employ Jack ;-; and so hires Jacks mother Lucy for $30 who picks apples from the floor around the tree to sell at the store.

    Customers are now angry that the apples aren't as bright and juicy as before and start shouting and stomping their feet! they demand the apples sell for 50cents! The apple shop owner relents and sells the apples for 50cents. The shop now makes $25 a week!

    Now the shop can't afford to pay Lucy either! >.< The shop closes because they can't afford to pay anyone to pick any apples and now nobody in the land can buy apples anymore from anyone! the pear shop next door increases their prices to $2.

    The wolf who owns the pear shop buys a ferrari and is very happy.

    The end~

    Suddenly a big bad wolf who already worked for the store opened a second storefront next door selling americanized apples, overnight the apple store lost half of his customers!! Now the store only brings in $50 a week from the original storefront and can completely afford to keep Jack working but sees no reason to ;-; and so they hire Jacks mother Lucy for $30 who picks apples from the floor around the tree to sell at the store.

    Customers are now angry that the apples aren't as bright and juicy as before and start shouting and stomping their feet! they demand the apples sell for 50cents! The apple shop owner refuses and decides to start selling the apple on top of a stick. The shop still makes plenty of money a week over their storefronts!

    Now the shop can completely afford to pay Lucy still also! >.< But the shop closes that storefront because they decide that revenue stream is less efficient. The pear shop next door increases their prices to $2, it quickly goes out of business as well.

    The wolf who told the store to open the americanized apple storefront buys a ferrari and is very happy, all the people who liked the original apples are sad. The End.

    I would argue that the quality in apples went down, the wolf noticed this and saw an opportunity to open a store selling quality goods people would want to buy.

    Noticing this, the apple shop decided to start charging for the caramel that was previously free.
