There wasn't really an option for me to get my things back until recently anyway. Yoshi-P could have called me in person, but unless he was paying my sub, I could not justify the cost when my wife and I were wondering if what was going to happen in the next week, let alone the next six months.

And I don't care as much about the plot. I mean, yes, I'm heart broken, but I knew what it was and it couldn't be helped. But they never told me I would lose everything, or at least not that I recalled. It was phrased as if I could always get them back later. Hell, I would even settle for half of the over 30 million gil I put into it and some of the trophies I put a lot of time into getting. I'm being punished for having real life issues, and as a four year FFXIV fan and twenty-five year Final Fantasy fan, it feels like a punch in the gut.
