The virtual currency "Moogle Coins" in the FFXIV Companion app must be removed

What does that have to do with you defending terrible systems under the veil that 'It's not as bad as people make it out to be' when it is. Literally offering things to the players such as more inventory space for a price and then turning around and saying 'we can't give more inventory space due to limitations of the game' literally, LITERALLY lying to the playerbase.

They cannot easily add more personal inventory space, I believe they have gone over the specifics of this in the past, yet people ignore that and use the retainers as a reason why they are "lying"

Yet when a $5 charge is involved suddenly it becomes much easier. Bear in mind, they must have the allotted server space to accommodate the possibility every adopts this app. Therefore, they did have it. They simply chose to gate it behind a paywall.

I think it's highly unlikely that they set up their servers to handle it "just in case" every player gets the premium app. They (and most companies) don't account for what the theoretical max would be, but only what they're actually likely to need. Just look at what happens every time a new expansion rolls out. The servers go to absolute hell because they're not meant to handle that many accounts at once. SE is aware of how many accounts there are and that they could all log on at once, but for the vast majority of day to day business the amount of people that are online is significantly lower.

While I'm not defending this premium app, it's unquestionable that the amount of money SE is spending on server space in this scenario is much lower than if they gave every player the increased inventory, without exception.
