Don't bulk buy Crysta..

[Alhanelem]

Crysta is not a FF11 currency, it's a FF14 currency.

It is neither. Seriously man, stop posting stuff like this that makes you look silly.

Crysta was created before FFXIV existed. And not just both games but every means of giving SE money online use the same payment processor. You are never supporting FFXI, nor FFXIV, directly, by giving SE money anywhere ever. You're supporting SE.

seriously you have to stop this BS misinformation. Even the people paying for FFXIV, whether they are subscribing or buying stuff from the online store, are not "supporting FFXIV." They're supporting Square Enix and its entire operation.

No amount of crying about FFXI's state or telling yourself you're boycotting FFXIV by not using crysta or whatever silly idea you come up with next is going to change the direction of ANYTHING at SE, much less FFXI.

Lines on a budget (and you are still following an entirely misguided concept of how budgets work) are entirely meaningless. SE spends all of its money from all sources at its discretion on whatever it wants. Your only option if you're not happy with SE is to not give them any money at all for anything for any reason.

If anything, if SE gets its way it will be funding everything it does with crypto and NFTs, but thankfully that prospect doesn't seem likely.

This says it all. No one forces anyone to give money to SE. Now with FFXI's old technology, like it or not, developers work for the tip no matter how much money you are wasting.
