Know this phrase and love it people. This will be said for every single vanity item that Square Enix ever puts into the cash shop.

I don't know if this is just an unknowing contradiction or if I misunderstand what their "whaling ship" presumably is. Either way.

Do you think people sit around and research Final Fantasy 14 like some of you, or maybe just skim the forums briefly every couple days? TO ME, who conforms to the latter, it sounds like you're a little jealous about the craftsmanship the OP put into the first post in this thread.

I mean, you only posted to say: boring, been done, you're stupid. Just sayin.

Same to you dude.

I think the OP makes some good points, agree with most of it, and think this has been blown way out of proportion. I'm just wondering how the "SE doesn't care about RMTs" camp and the "SE is out to take our money through cash shop of evil" camp are going to come together on this. The ideas in which both camps are based contradict each other (SE would want the rmts dead cuz real money for cash shop)....should be interesting.

+1 OP I like tasteful cash shops.
