after all its my money and 10$ wont kill me

thats the thing, like people have said (mainly people who defend the game) that they will work on it until 2.0, reguardless if 1 person or a million play...so again...why charge and possibly loose long time subs? Il support this game when its good enough to pay for, and 2.0 looks like it, but a promise is no garuntee. They said FF14 would be the best FF ever ....and i got burned...not going to do that again.

People continue to look at this from their prespective rather than Squares. If you don't like the game or feel that it isn't worth it in the current state. Then quit. You aren't entitled to shit. You paid for the game, and it's been free for a year and four months. That's thousands of hours of time spent in the game world. If you chose to not use that time, then that's your fault.

They need to generate money to stop bleeding as much cash. If they bleed too much the executives will be forced to shut the game down due to shareholders unloading their stock like it's on fire. New content doesn't pay for itself either.

So quit, or stay. It's a very simple choice.

someone here said they are entitled to something? i dont see that. People are just arguing why or why not it is a smart time to charge, or why they WONT pay.

best argument from the white knights here: "if you don't like it ..quit...i dont care"

you know who might? People who see potential in the game, but don't think its good enough yet

and SE....thats money walking out their doors, money now, and money down the road.

How would them just shutting the servers down and scrapping it make you feel? you wouldn't be playing either way. At least this way something might come out of it in the end.

Try being realistic for a change. Companies don't run on the kindness of their hearts. It's all about money, and if they deem something isn't worth the cost, then they cut it out.

Pretty much this. . .

That's not a white knight argument. That's common sense. Although the "I don't care" part is childish. Also how's that money walking out the doors? They will be reinstating a free trial service period again in the future. People who have no interest now will more than likely come back too see how it ended up, even if only for a minute. What about all that money that's "walking out the doors" by them not charging now? So that is a garbage statement.

Common sense and logic are always linked to being a White Knight -- Logic dictates if you're heavily dissatisfied with a service or it pains you to play a game because of how horrible it is, you do yourself a favor and quit, you don't sit there and whine constantly about it all in the process of belittling those who enjoy what you do not enjoy.

Criticism and all is fine, but there's a difference between just flatout complaining for the sake of it and offering constructive criticism, generally its the former because people who complain also go around telling anyone they're "stupid" for enjoying/wanting to pay to play this game.

did you read my first comment on the first page, or just jump right to "they need to make money". Ive explained why its possible money out their doors plenty of times. I agree that anyone who hates everything about it...and could care less about 2.0 shouldnt bother, but there are tons of people who want it to be good, but its not even close enough yet.

Pretty much has been said but it comes down to a revenue standpoint so the risk vs. reward is pretty heavily in favor of charging. I like the game enough to pay. Or maybe I just don't like other games enough to not pay...
