muti tasking is a thing... you can craft or do w/e while price adjusting while base sub can't WHY am I explaining this again?!?!?! it is obvious what I was talking about. In the game your character can't do both at the same time-.- Even if your not using crafting macros, you can still play on the phone or type while stuck in a command animation. You never consider a duo box crafter, crafts on both accts on same time? same idea.

It basically just means that people whose life circumstances allow them to stay at their computer/console more now face a little bit more potential competition from people who would otherwise be AFK. It rebalances market power slightly away from the so-called "no-lifers," but at a literal price (that the vast majority will never pay).
Doesn't matter how little or how many use it. The biggest issue with this, that one person can use this to fully control a server MB if they chose to do, we just do not know if someone like that is on ffxiv. With how some people toss money around, I would not dismiss the possibility, only takes one. In the end, no form of pay to win should exist. Putting some form of pay to win, this app, on a sub base model to hide another sub fee (app blocks 10th retainer, so basically 3 different sub fees) is pretty insulting, esp when it crosses the line of P2W
