Version 2.0 - apparently the real miracle patch

[Mushy]

Mmmm.....booty....

But seriously OP, you say nothing promised is coming until 2.0 when in reality, it's the opposite. The AH/MW hybrid system comes in 1.20 along with class balancing, the job system comes in 1.21, and the list goes on.

Of course, you would know that if you actually read any part of the roadmap.

Do you really believe our subscriptions are going to be in a large enough number to fund a project like XIV 2.0? Absolutely not. It's only going to pay for everything Betel said.

Also, booty.

yes auction house costs 1000s a month from player subs to implement... stripping of skills and the title of a job EXPENSIVE STUFF. no.. the money is going to the new game and servers plain and simple

Just from this one post, I'm going to assume you're nothing but a troll. Like ellohwell. This is one of the greatest insults I could ever come up with. *cracks knuckles*

I can't tell if you're trolling or legitimately an idiot.

They already said themselves that even if NOBODY (Zero) subscribe, they are still going ahead with 2.0. This means that they already have funds set and planned for to be used for 2.0.

This means that subscription fees are going towards server upkeep, GM crapola and the like. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

uhm what do you think costs more? new engine etc or localizing and server upkeep, which by the way 2.0 will be getting even more localization than any of these patches ITS A WHOLE NEW WORLD

Sub fees will be just enough to cover upkeep costs like I said. Everything else is funded by the house.

The revenue from this will be negligible, just like the upkeep costs.

whats the point of this thread? is it just a complaint? because i dont know what "every feature known to man" your talking about.
your just worried you wont be able to complete everythign theyre adding from here till 2.0? you have an entire year to do so. and if you cant, then what is your solution? i just dont get the problem here.

there isnt going to be every feature known to man after 2.0 so i dont get what your talking about lol what exactly is your complaint? the subs? there isnt any other answer other than either you pay or dont. square enix has already said again and again that sub fees are happening by the end of the year regardless of anything.

Then why dont they assume zero, not charge until the actual game they intend for us to play is out? because it obviously is not this version since it is being tossed out

other than the reasons they already gave us there is no other answer unless you work for SE or have factual knowledge of otherwise which neither of us do.
it is going to happen. this is fact. not charging is not an option....so what is your solution?

Because they want to keep the game they don't intend for us to play up 24/7. Because some people want to play it. Those people will pay for being able to play it. 2.0 is coming regardless, yet that doesn't mean they have to keep the current build online until that time.

Its very simple. They don't owe the people who have played this game a year anything except the new build (which, like said, is coming either way).

cry more, and troll - expected from these boards. Well I will let you guys pay for the new game under the guise of more soon to be deleted content.
