Since it got brought up I would like to ask how is a one time account upgrade that applies to any and all characters you've made or will make the same as a one time purchase that only affect a single one of your characters?

Money does not fall from trees. The vanity you get in-game or in the store was worked for either way.
There is a lot of both fearmongering and harassment in this thread. point is, SE decided that cash shop was a profitable thing to add, and the community seems to be pretty evenly divided on the issue.
This is like republicans vs democrats, except the republicans are the people voting against cash shop, and the democrats want it. people with things, vs people without them.
Wow, post limit! I havent reached that since turning 50! thanks guys for keeping me entertained everyone!
I was figuring republicans wanting exclusivity, locking things behind both time and skill walls (time being the one factor that no amount of hard work can surmount), vs democrats wanting to be able to access everything no matter who it is, just by paying into the system.

There was no need in your opinion but another possibility is that the game will stay the same quality while having a bigger revenue stream which will allow Square Enix to finally put cash in their investing activities. Their other games have been taking way too long to get released (KH3, FFXV for examples) if more money means more investment and faster release, then yes, I am all up for it.TL;DR: ARR was successful "as is" and it seems that it was able to rescue the company from the hole that it was in. There was no need to change the status quo with a chance of alienating a big chunk of your playerbase and scaring away other potential customers with something as controversial as a cash shop, instead of just keep doing what they have been doing since 1.x's disaster. Haste makes waste.
Twisting people words and taking the other side argument out of context while ignoring the earlier points brought is all I see in there.
Less than 1% of the playerbase posts on the forum. 171 likes out of ~5000 people who posts means squat in the grand scheme of things.Hardly.

I know it's not much to go on but that alone tells all you need to know. Same happens throughout that thread.

You mean what a huge majority (not all) of the posters that are okay with or pro cash shop are doing with the well reasoned responses those of us against it are giving in this thread?

idk man, wouldn't it be the other way around with republicans wanting freedom of market and democrats wanting free hand outs?There is a lot of both fearmongering and harassment in this thread. point is, SE decided that cash shop was a profitable thing to add, and the community seems to be pretty evenly divided on the issue.

I'm kidding. I still detest SE double dipping. Remember to vote kids.
