I don't want ffxi-2, I want them to take this game seriously and part of taking the game seriously is charging full price for a game that gets updated.

As such, the rumor being fake is good.

I mean, I never put stock in rumors in the first place, but someone who doesn't understand how promotional discounts can boost sales makes me glad you aren't the proprietor of a retail establishment. Someone could open up a store across from yours and put up a sign that says "10% off the shop across the street," and you being the principled person you are refuses to offer any discounts because serious people pay full price, goes out of business because they don't understand how promotional offers work, while the other place pulls in all your customers because they have the same products for 10% off. Now their business has grown and they're more successful than ever, all because they were willing to eat into their profits a bit in order to get money from people who previously weren't giving them any money.

The only other logical conclusion would be that you're a contrarian, whose sole purpose is only to oppose people you don't like. And sometimes I get the feeling that you specifically post to oppose anything I think is a good idea. I'll stop short of actually accusing you of that though, because I've also been accused of that in the past. Maybe it is a truly held opinion of yours, but given this is far from the only topic you oppose me on without much in the way of an argument against my opinion, it certainly is a possibility.
