Just because SE is doing this now to FFXIV doesn't mean that this isn't the same kind of thing we have seen over and over again from other companies. We don't want that kind of garbage in our FFXIV. You know what happens when you wait and see with crap like this? YOU GET MORE CRAP.
The disconnect for me is that I don't consider anything Square Enix have started selling to be the kind of crap to worry about. It's not a slippery slope if you haven't actually stepped onto the slope yet. Granted, they now have the infrastructure to sell tokens and who knows what else, but they're only using it for something that there's a legitimate reason to rate limit. The first time they actually cross a line, I'll complain, but no amount of glamours, mounts, extra retainers, or the like is ever going to be across the line for me. To me the argument essentially sounds like "they're selling stuff of no consequence, therefore they're going to start selling things of consequence!" and that doesn't logically follow.
