Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

Like what if they started selling the hildibrand questlines?
Or what if they started selling access to the Savage versions of coil?

What if? What if? What if?

You could "what if" anything. Here's what's happening now: None of that. What's happening now is they are offering premium vanity content which does not affect access to content whatsoever. All of these strawmen ripostes I keep seeing are extreme what if scenarios if SE decided to block access to content and make such stuff premium. Okay, if they did that you can complain about that. But they're not doing that and it is very unlikely they will be doing that. So stop bringing up such crazy arguments.

The defenders of eorzea stepped in and said HALT, why say what if lets focus on the now. Now peoples prediction were right! GAASSPP!!!

The community is to blame everyone who bought into fantasia and extra retainers only help set the precedent for this. SE will push until it pushes too far and with this community they can push pretty far. They have a lot of what the f2p community refers to as "whales" here. So they get to double dip and why wouldn't they want to take peoples money, one person buying sleipner is two months of anything sub. They can stand to lose players on this decision because there gains are so great. gamers reap what they sow, and to those that stood stead fast, I'm sorry your experience is brought down by these players its pretty unfortunate, but thats why I've unsubbed.
