Like look how many people are subscribed to the game. Now you remove the subscription, how is FFXIV meant to make up all that money from the cash shop only if they don't make the game experience living hell for us?

Lowball estimate is that SE is raking in 8-10 million dollars a month from subscriptions alone (based on the most recent estimates of 800K active paying characters, which probably spiked a lot in the last few weeks when people came back.)

To cough up 10 million gil in cash shop revenue, then everything not nailed down in the game would be for sale on the cash shop instead.
