Is our sub fee not enought

[Failia]

Their "legitimate reason" is rubbish. Plenty of superior options that don't involve the cash shop.

Please let me know what these superior options are, I'm interested to know.

...provided they pay for it.

Else they can go and take a hike.

And the option is there if they wish to pay for it. And there will be people that pay for it, not just new arrivals but veterans as well.

Besides, first and foremost SQE is a business and a businesses sole goal is to make money. It's not to cater to every whim of ever player. That's impossible.

Indeed - And for a business, it would be stupid not to work on creating a problem if they can sell the solution to it.

Like selling mines, minesweeping services and prostheses. Works great!

Well, a few I saw or contributed in the potion thread.

Give the story skip potion with the expansion
Give both potions with the expansion
Boost XP gain from the story and introduce an option to teleport straight back to the quest giver upon completion
Allow new characters/players to choose whether to start at 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0
Unlock the first HW quest at 50 and the first SB one at 60 so players leveled past that can choose to skip any remaining story-line from the previous segment
More radically, they could streamline the MSQ and try to rework the quest system so all 3 main story-lines can run in parallel
Various combinations of the above

(also, SE please add a sidequest where the scions sneak a housing district style mini-aetheryte into the waking sands.)

'SE is a business and their sole goal is to make money' seems to me to be the sort of statement that should realistically increase skepticism towards the cash shop.
