Yes... You can?

The ToS is literally just there so none of us unhappy with the current money grabbing direction of development can't turn around a sue SE. We're damn well within our right to call them out of it though. That and just leave, in which case SE sees reducing numbers and goes "Put more stuff in the cash shop to make more money fast!" and the game spirals into oblivion.

We have no legal case against SE, that's all this means. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anyone prepared to sue SE over the cash shop (yet). It's almost entirely been feedback and wallet voting.

I guess you'd be OK if SE turned around tomorrow and made it so you could only take one step in game per day in Heavensward zones, and charged you for potions to walk an extra step, then? I mean, the ToS you agreed to clearly states that they hold the right to do such a thing. So you'd have to just roll over and take it like a champ, right?

ToS are usually designed to have vast, generalized blanket statements to cover a company's ass in almost any situation. I'm sure it would even cover Matsuda eating babies if they stretched it far enough. It's ignorant consumers such as yourself that allow this to happen.
