    Haha dont worry. It was more of an lesser devil kind of idea anyway.

    @Vaer: You do kinda "lose" with the real app too since you cant have the between retainer management and you kinda lose 70 more inventory spaces thanks to the chocobo saddlebag increase. And since we dont know how we will be able to use the moogle coins..who knows if that wont allow us to suddenly change the MB quite more.

    But yeah my idea was more of a: If they need a paid part make it at least way less usefull then the one right now. In the end a complete free app should have been the way to go. (Like WoW did)

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    The extra inventory space I'm actually not too offended about. They usually charge for it (on XI actually they did the exact same thing, they give you some mog wardrobe space then they sell extra ones and at one point you had to have a physical authenticator (this was a one time payment though) to get access to another bag in XI), I'm actually surprised we even got the first set of it with no extra charge actually. I can just login to mess with my retainers though if that's what you mean by retainer management. Sure it's slightly more annoying since you have to be at a bell, but it falls down to convenience for me in the end.

    Basically other than the inventory space all the stuff in the app you can do yourself (even if it's a bit more annoying) by just logging in unless I'm missing something so to me it comes down to convenience.

    Your proposal has things locked to the app that gives you extra items for the game, so I see that as quite different.

    Anyways, they are being quite strict about the MB but for good reason. You could load this app into an emulator and do unsavory things to put it lightly so they are being cautious about it.

    I do think the kupo nut MTx is unnecessary if they have a sub fee on it though but they definitely need to throttle the MB feature in some way.

    The problem is the info isn't all out, my opinion might change once they release all of it.
