The premium app is what finally made me unsub.

As much as I agree with your point, it is rather absurd that having 35 threads with 10 posts of the same topic vs 1 thread of said topic with 350 posts is a very ludicrous cop out to say certain scenario is weighted less than another. Even if everyone wants to individually express their opinion and not feel like it is drowned among the hundreds of similar voiced complaints.

If a community rep were to create a mega thread on the topic that would be acknowledging a controversy existed and they don't want that ahead of a feature roll out.

Like someone else said here, the fact that so many find this egregious should give SE pause.

Agreed. I wish the community representatives engaged more. It'll be a week since the announcement tomorrow and there's been not a peep out of Square Enix - not even to say our feedback has been acknowledged and passed on.

Furthermore, one of the major concerns is the statement that the premium coins will be used for more things in the future...so I'm not sure what the 'wait and see' crowd are getting at. It's pretty obvious that they plan to go ahead with this regardless of the backlash...which likely explains the silence.
