Pay for your inventory.

That was not directed at you, but I speak the truth!

The truth is, no one has to pay more to play FFXIV:ARR with the launch of HW. Subscription fees are unchanged. You are not forced to hire new retainers. You do have to buy HW to access the new content, but even then your subscription rate is remaining the same.

So even someone addicted to FFXIV does not need to pay more to continue indulging their vice.

It's disturbing how they take back the 1 extra retainer with expansion thing and add even more space eating items like "Collectible Items", on top of the new gear, recipe mats, item drops, etc. to eventually force everyone to cave in and fork over money for more inventory space.

The white knights will gladly throw money at it and the ones that repel it will eventually get over it and will be forced to hand over the money. Even those who do well in space management will eventually feel the hurt of limited inventory space.

Those who don't want to pay and suffer from limited space are forced to get rid of things when they shouldn't be forced to play a certain way from something as small as glamouring space. I can already forecast in the future that any new incoming jobs will be behind a pay wall, because they'll have us pay for the extra soul gem space. But hey, it's not P2W because having that specific class is just glamour and doesn't give any particular advantage, right? Don't like it? They'll get over it and pay eventually.

SE is getting bold with the idea that the players will throw away money on just about anything nowadays.

Obliviously you must not craft. Because I have 4 retainers now and 1 of my 8 level 50 crafters can FILL all 80 selling slots on my retainers. What am I supposed to do. Twiddle my thumbs and do nothing why I wait for stuff to sell? The expansion is in 2 days and they know people are going to need more spaces to sell. What a perfect time to hit them up for another $8 a month.

Sorry, but you are one of the people that are actively working past the necessary minimum. You're the demographic that they are aiming for with this limited business. Because they know people like you will never be content with managing what you're given. And yes, it's entirely possible to do so, but you choose to work in excess. This is how marketing works and how money is made.

It's funny though, I thought we were already paying them.
I must've been mistaken.

Should I make an in-depth list as to what you're getting per month? Cause I'm certain I can show you that what you're paying for is all you'll ever need to actually play this game and partake in all of its content.

Your list isn't going to change what's actually in my inventory, nor all of the new items (specifically gear for three new jobs) being added into that.

They are not making another dime off me! I canceled my sub and I canceled my preorder!

Then none of this matters anymore to you, right?
So why are you still posting to the forums about things that no longer affect you?

No it does effect me because I like the game. But I am not going to be foolish and throw my money away. And like I said its the principle $13 for a sub and $4 for 2 retainers and now another $8 for 4 more retainers. What is it going to be in a year from now another $16 for 8 more retainers? When does it end? Lets be real here if they added 4 more retainers, they could have doubled our retainer inventory and everyone would be happy. But instead you get double the inventory if your foolish enough to pay for it.
