I know that we are kinda on the same page on this Remedi. I am just a person that likes to answer questions that are directed at me so I gave them even after you already posted a bit more. So yes both are greedy and its kinda sad. I do have a friend that loved FF and kinda bought a lot of stuff from SE but the recent things in FF14 and the greed kinda turned him off and he said that he does not want to buy any bigger things from them. So this can turn negative for them too. (And yes I also have posted that I find it bad that we get more paid retainers and not at least one free one per expansion..)

I just hope that they get more budget, a better server/code and finally take some risk..and if they dont want to risk then its completely fine to just use the great things from other MMOs and put their interpretation of this in FF14. (But without it being completely complicated..)
