Indeed, it is going to be optional. But more and more stuff is going to an extra paywall. Having to pay $5/mth to access a basic UI feature of being able to easily move items between your retainers. This is ridiculous. I hope all the major news outlets pick up on it and it causes such a major stink and backlash that it causes SE to lose 99% of its stock price in a singular minute. My hands are tied due to static, house, and my FC, but those who aren't so tied up, please kick up this stink by voting with your wallet. Blizzard are the bigger MMO, and this is NOT the way to shift people from WoW to FFXIV. You need to be the better MMO, not the EA-on-steroids level nickle-and-diming MMO. Hell, I'm told even free to play MMOs aren't this bad on the microtransaction front.
