Eternal Bonding & Forced Downgrading

[Nyalia]

The only logical reason why you can start the quest with bracelets of differing values is that SE is a dishonest company that wants to steal money from their customers. The only other reason (which is far from logical) is that the designers of this content are not malicious, but instead really, really dumb. I tend to assume people aren't morons, so I'm going to have to say this was a cunning plan to steal money from customers.

This means that I'm also assuming the localization team aren't incompetent at their jobs, which means that the website wording issues were intentional (more heart prisms being unobtainable on the Platinum plan despite the website saying you can buy more, mentions of the ceremony or quest being downgraded instead of the rewards, etc). So, if they're not morons who should be fired over this, then instead, they are malicious and trying to steal money from honest customers who don't know any better.

False advertising abounds - I really hope someone sues. See, that's the problem with cash-shop-related content - it falls under Customer Protection laws, which wouldn't have been true if only gil was involved. Steal our gil? We have no restitution and that's fine. It's just virtual money. Steal our cash? Illegal and grounds for a lawsuit.

Good job, SE. Hope your stock takes a hit over this.
