Exactly how much more do you expect us to pay?

[Ronyx]

I'm already getting sick of you continuing to push your limits with charging us extra money on top of the subscription and expansion/box fees we already pay you.

So, why not just get it out of the way and tell us just exactly what you're going to be charging us extra for, so those of us who disagree with it, can quietly just unsubscribe and save ourselves from future disappointment?

I'm being genuinely serious too. I want to know just how far you're planning on taking this disgusting, shameless, and greedy double-dipping. Please, I want to know so that I can just stop paying, and stop playing, RIGHT NOW.

I don't enjoy having to come to the forums here to defend my rights as a paying customer. I would honestly rather you just come out about this completely so I can save myself from future headaches.

More will come anyway. Starting with Heavensward. Expansion at the very least would be $29.99

But Heavensward will not be in the mog-station cash shop.

Actually, it most likely will be for digital download options.

I think a lot of people are mad about "having" to buy something they already paid for.
For clarification the mount and minions were developed with our sub money. In order to get them you have to pay for them again.

Anything new added can be claimed as being developed with money from the cash shop the same cannot be said about the original exclusive items.

While I understand where this kind of statement comes from, it, too, isn't necessarily true. FFXIV is a franchise owned be SE, which draws its revenue from a number of sources. Businesses don't usually keep their income arbitrarily separated as if they were fussy kids not wanting different foods on their plate to touch.

It could still be true that the cash shop launch was funded directly from FFXIV subscription income, but statements like those shouldn't be made as if they were known facts. This is part of how we get threads blown so out of proportion; they start with assumptions as mild as this one and snowball until the sky is falling and even the craziest assumptions are considered factual.
