Compromise: Just Charge $5 For Now. Once 2.0 is Out, Then Charge $12

Anyone that considers 12.99 a month fine dining pricing needs to re-evaluate their spending priorities.

Fine Dining is like... 40-50 bucks a plate... ~.~ ( and that's being Generous :/)

Have you even played the game the last two days minus your little temporary ban? Stop telling people how to live their lives and how to post on your forums. Oh they arent your forums, beg your pardon, sometimes it's hard to remember that they aren't your forums.

He's always playing, He's in my Linkshell as I am too playing Botanist Currently =)

the point is, people will pay for it if they enjoy the game, they arent going to choose mostly based on a price point but rather if they want to play it still or not

the same way gamers have always chosen

Of course price point is a major factor. Would you pay $20/month to play FFXIV? $50? $100?

At some point even the most rabid fan would blink. People want value for their money.

You may enjoy eating at McDonald's once in awhile, but you wouldn't expect to pay fine dining prices to do so.

That's absolutely correct (not the part about me enjoying McDonald's, the second part :P). And if they did start charging dining prices, I simply wouldn't go. What I also wouldn't do is complain that if they just cut their prices in half, it would be worthwhile for me. This thread isn't about not being able to afford the subscription fee; it's about not paying it on principle. If the game is only worth half the asking price, it's not worth arguing over. I'm going to keep saying it until you try to tell me otherwise, at which point maybe the conversation can actually progress instead of being caught in the same nonsensical arguments.

I don't feel like my money is well spent paying full price for FFXIV in its current form.

You don't feel it's worth that much money, fine. That's a completely respectable position. The idea that it's only worth half the money you're supposed to be paying, while somehow being worth so much of your time (level 50 or not) playing it - not to mention complaining about the price - is not.

If the game is only worth half the asking price, it's not worth arguing over.

I'm not exactly sure what playing the game has to do with that, but if you must know, yes.

These comments of yours make less and less sense the further along this debate goes. You should consider the five minute rule. Write out your post, walk away for five minutes, and then read it again to make sure you actually want to post that. Or therapy works too.

i wouldnt pay 20 a month for ANY MMO
and thats the point, almost every MMO out there charges 15+ for their monthly
we wont be paying 15 a month, we will likely be doing 10-12

so we are already on a discount of sorts by the standards and people at this point just want more

but thats normal too, players always want MORE, they dont care about the cost of the developers and companies making these games, its all entitlement anyway(not just with mmos but with everything)

12.99 a month for a monthly Sub is nothing ( and I have my Financial issues as well)
