I want an official response.

You are right I don't care about anyone else's enjoyment from this game. I play this game to relax from work and family obligations. If you are so offended by this revelation of my lack of caring for your plight then get over yourself. You are complaining about a game, if you can't see how silly that is then there is something wrong. You have free will to buy or not buy from the cash shop. You have the free will to pay or not pay for a subscription to FFXIV. Make a choice that you can live with and stop acting like a martyr because the MAJORITY of people really don't care.

is it annoying and would I like to to go away? yes
Is the world as we know it ending? no

I never said the world was ending. I explicitly stated that even I acknowledge that the example I used was extreme.

Are you intentionally thick? I said if it became play to win, there's always the option to say "No, I'm not okay with this" and stop playing. If you feel like its unfair, than why would you play?

And yes, I put it in terms of "I" so let me translate because I understand reading comprehension is hard.

I hope you realize that by shifting the focus away from specifically yourself, and redirecting it to me, in no way contradicts my original factual statement that you are only thinking of yourself.

Changing it from being in reference to you, and just pointing the finger at me is again showing that you're only thinking of how it effects you, and how you feel about it.

Thank you for only further reinforcing my argument.

And no, it's not just a game in this scenario. It's about a product we've invested ourselves in, and we're not being given everything we paid for.
