Keep past content out of Cash Shop

Disagree.

So, by your standard, you go to your favorite food place, for simplicity sake, a burger shop. Get a burger with all your favorite toppings ordered and delivered to your seat; finally take one bite only to have one of the workers take it from you, rip out the toppings, and give back the burger saying it'll be another $3.00 if you want the topppings back. Thats good business practice to you?

What does burgers have to do XIV? Nothing. It's how the practice is being handled. I've already paid for this content by buying the game and subbing for it, and now its being taken back out because they want more money.

I think the analogy is a bit unfair. A more similar situation would be me going back to my favorite burger joint, only to find out that they now charge for toppings that they didn't charge before. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I certainly wouldn't call it an unfair business practice. They didn't take anything *away* from me, and SE isn't taking back any of the costumes you've earned. They are simply charging for them from now on, similar to how my burger joint decided to charge for toppings from now on. As long as they are upfront about the change and the cost there is nothing unfair about it. It just sucks.

I choose to be optimistic though. I think more revenues is better for us.

I can understand this reasoning, although I still do not agree with the practice. In either case I appreciate you taking the time to respond without the trash talk others have so kindly like to spew.
