Cash shop has been here for a while. Maybe they are selling pretty well. Which I'm gonna assume doesn't fall well for some. You detest them for that? I mean you have a name for them. I believe you call them "whales"? But I know none of this doesn't matter. People will stay firm on their opinions. People will argue back and forth till they're blue in the face.
I wasn't the one to call those people whales, whales refers to a group of people who spend tens of thousands on a game and fund the entirety of development + profits of a game. I don't think that applies to FFXIV as you can't really do that unless you were some insane fantasia addict. I'm aware that this isn't going to change the minds of people who do buy into these mounts, Scion outfits, dyes and minions, but all I'm hoping for is that this gets across to the developers and they don't take it further. They are really pushing it with this update, I have seen first hand what happens to MMOs when people let stuff like slide and I'm sure a lot of people here have too, I just don't want that to happen to FFXIV. I'm going to argue my opinion as I believe it would be in the game's best interest to not take it further, what I don't understand is the people spouting the ToS when the Producer-Director doesn't even do that.
