Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

By the way, any business model needs criticism. Sorry, you will never have zero complaints about this game. Complaints, negative feedback, and criticizing are what makes things in life better. You can plug your ears and go lalala all you want but if it werent for people like me, everyone would just bow down to anything SE (or any company / cooperation ) did and they could pump out whatever garbage they want.

If it werent for people like me, you would not even GET a 2.0 version.

The trouble is 90% of these forums are complaint threads. Asking folks in game does not produce the same percentage of negative sentiment. Charging a fee will drastically reduce the amount of complaining. It will clear up space for folks to actually talk about things that are fun to talk about, you know like game mechanics and strategy.

yes and they will stay complaint threads unfortunately. That's what most forums are really for, feedback and discussion. If SE didn't make such a bad game, maybe there wouldn't be as much complaining?

Also, there are still fan sites and other forum communities that I post on, where I can still talk about FFXIV, no matter that SE wants to shut out non-subscribers from their discussions (which I think is a bad idea anyway)

So basically you're petitioning for them to have less money for future development. Yes, great idea.

Like I said, this isn't a charity.

No. It's not. They're providing a product. Products are normally paid for.
