Now I have to get into this fray. are you seriously saying that if someone has a real life job, and therefore can afford to pay for both a subscription and a little extra for a mount, they should not be gaming? FFXIV would not exist if that were the case.

Get a little perspective, please. Not all of us work part time. I get an average of 2 hours a day to play, while working two jobs to afford both rent and this sub. I cant get a primal mount, because I cant afford the time to farm it. You just said that I shouldn't play this game. if you were the president of SE, congrats, you just lost 3/4 of your subs.

Yoshi has previously said that the game was made to be accessible to casual players, ones with money to pay, to keep servers running. Cash shop is a realization of this.
