“non-essential” premium content, does SE want this kind of reputation if it continue?

I do not understand how a white knight does not see they are a white knight.
Here people give a perspective how things are unfair, and how this is done in the past, repeated consistently by companies, starting small, and keep pushing how far they can go, instead of self regulating. Explaining in detail why it appears to be on a same path as others such as:

only to meet a person stating things on emotion alone, pretends things are "facts" without any argument to back up what they are saying, only to wind up confused why they are being called a white knight, despite others explaining why it is said in the first place:

Then in turn making threads that satire and mock those that are giving SE well deserved criticism.

I got no idea why I am even bothering explaining this to someone that does not understand they are already paying for a game only to have features gut out or missing, then happy to pay for extra. Ya real logical *rolls eyes* I guess another definition would be, white knights magically forget there is a sub cost to this game, high mog station costs, extra sub costs (retainers) only to have another sub cost to gate a sub cost, along with buying expansions.

I quoted this to someone else, seems to fit you perfectly as well. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-made-me-unsub.

Do you even know what optional means? Optional means = available to be chosen but not obligatory.

Personally I don't agree with many things that SE offers players. Unlike most comments here I will give reasons on why.

Emotes; if doing emotes that are NOT quality / item based (kai arts, music, ect ) should be available for everyone in one way or another. Some of the emotes were event based and no longer available which makes sense they would be sold. It's not SE fault that people missed it.

Mounts; Personally I'm disgusted by this being sold. If anything they could of made it into some hardcore quest to collect parts also. Example the optional Magictek mounts.

Jump Potions Their excuse was to help people catch up to play with their friends...only draw back made players miss out on pretty much how the job works. Witch leave it to veterans having to carry these people until they learn it....just plain stupid in my opinion and a waste of money. If it's already in the game, as part of the main design it should not be sold. This was brought about emotional people that wanted a trophy for just trying.

Dye's; Metallic can be gather by retainer exploration does not really need to be sold.

These are just a few examples of stupid thing that are on sale.

In the end no matter how many threads pop up, how many times people argue players white knight the company, the result is the same. It is not obligatory. Big companies will take advantage of people who want games to be easier for them it's a known fact that most human-beings envy those with the haves, and don't want to be part of the have not's. As for those who claim it's not about the money or envy...lets get real it is otherwise there would not be soo many threads and would just say "oh look new stuff...nah I'll pass" and let it be. No instead people are hypocrites in one way or another rage quit...blah blah blah... I will not support this company ..blah blah blah..

If anything people who claim to be logical just ignore the main points to begin with and fail to use the one bit of common sense when they refer to this game. It's called a business not a non profit. By the way rolling eyes to someone just shows a low level of maturity specially once their point of view has been disputed and can't make an actual logical response.

I have not forgotten about my subscription, if fact is part of my monthly expenses for my household budget. Unlike many people some of us do take money seriously, and are competent enough to balance their expenses.

Note their are several other things I can say are wrong with SE, don't agree with, yet I'm not adding redundant topics which have been covered already that SE has already tweaked or tried to fix. They did what they could and it's not important enough to keep posting small things. I can at least accept that it is a business, I pay a subscription, and it's up to me to give them money. Just because I have money does not mean I need to spend it.
