FFXIV - A Step to P2W (My 2.45 Feedback)

[Taliph]

Although you claim it isn't a personal attack, it can be seen as one - and you're being very rude with that last remark of yours. Anyway, don't clump two sides as same just because they are categorized under the same type. It's like saying cows and zebras are the same because they are, 'herbivores'. "Hey Tommy, look at that herbivore! There's also herbivores at this zoo too! Look another herbivore!" It's a definition, not a name (Real Money Trading; Definition/Category. Real Money Traders; Name).

The only thing you've been explaining so far is 'time-factored pay-to-win'. I have yet to see proof that this is a significant advantage over other players. Best in slot gear can be earned given enough time - there's nothing stopping you from getting them. Buying BiS gear is also not guaranteed. You can still 'lose' at the game rather than 'win' if you failed with melding materia.

If you want to take my comment as rude, so be it, they say: life is 90% how you take it.

If you want a definition for RMT, the ToS supplies the only one applicable to this discussion. Buying or selling items, ingame services, characters, and currency for real money.

There is also your melding comment, you can buy fully melded crafting/gathering gear... Again you seem to be intentionally obfuscating the discussion.

+1. Its a dead horse, then we beat it up again, then we made it into horse burgers, then threw the burgers against the wall, then ate the burgers, sent them through our system, and then flushed it just to be sure it was extra dead.

I'm glad your server no longer has pf's up 23-24 hours per day, but hey, keep bumping it so SE can see we still don't like it, and they should hurry up with a patch already.
