Cash shop confirmed

[Xairos]

Are you sitting here trying to rationalize that the existence of a cash shop is going to make a game more popular? That there are that many people that are on the fence where they'll decide to start subscribing because they can pay another few bucks to get an item in the game instead of playing the game and getting the item?

I am not trying to rationalize anything in saying that the game will be more popular. It is already popular given that there are threads and threads and pages and pages of topics like this on this site. Back in the FF11 days, I had Killing Ifrit for all my news and the only multi-page threads i saw there were people calling out other players for linkshell drama.

I am saying from the get-go of 2.0 the goal was to make a more visible, popular FFMMO. One part of that change is that our voices to have a chance to change things. I mean look at how SE is thinking about nerfing coil. I bet you that came mostly from these forums.
