China is getting wings

[MissD]

Bit off topic but while we're on the subject of the cash shop, can someone explain to me where the term "whales" came from and what it's supposed to mean?

Someone please photoshop Bismarck with bling and wads of cash. That's all I can picture now.


I feel like I should clarify that when I said "everything should be available to anyone willing to pay for it", I meant that any cash shop exclusive item should be open to consideration to be brought over to NA if there is enough popular demand. Whether through online purchase or an in-game quest. Not that every single item in the game should be up for grabs if people wave enough money at SE. That would completely defeat the purpose of doing anything in FFXIV. I don't want all those ponies I spent hours farming (for example) available to anyone with 20 dollars, that wasn't what I was trying to say. Sorry for the miscommunication, though at this point the discussion has gone completely off the rails so I don't think it matters xD
