The premium app is what finally made me unsub.

[Remyogic]

I'm sorry, but where did I ever utter the phrase, "I was forced to unsub". In my OP I clearly laid out my reasons, mostly which were that SE has decided to cascade extra fees on a subscription based MMO and the premium app is simply the one I found most egregious.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

Either that or OP thought they'd be clever and chose a clickbaity title.

I think you will find 'made' is also a synonym for 'caused', clearly the sense in which the OP meant it (Judging from their post above).

And, what is going on? The current fad for arguing semantics on this forum is perplexing.

And taking what I wrote completely out of context so you could win a semantic battle.

Pretty much this. When you have no argument to fall back on, you start reaching for anything and semantics is an easy one to use.

See you in 4.3 I guess.

Are you posting this because you do not understand English or you really trying to flame bait? That is not the meaning of "made" for this context -.-

No, again, same reply to you as I gave Remyogic
(Yes there is a reason I am not explaining what is truly meant, if you are going to be this aggressive trying to twist someone's words around , you can do your own research.)

Yeah people want to argue semantics over the word "win" in pay to win, as well *rolls eyes*
I was gonna reply earlier but daily cap and all. Sad you went and explained it though =/ They should think for themselves you know? Not just blindly attacking people. I think some just do it for white knight SE but who knows.

The premium app that isn't even released made you unsub? Did you get it early? How do you know? Oh wait, you're the average forum poster, why am I bothering?

Here is the link with nice pictures inside. Notice the few differences between the premium and free versions? What do you really hate the most about it? Pay attention to details and lets convert the estimated 500yen into your region currency. US is around 4.57 so round up $5, can you recall how often you spend $5 that you later regret? ( Even with pictures to help them I doubt they will be able to point out accurate things. )

I'm out too. Final straw. All items in game are "optional". Games are optional. The more we accept partial games with the "option" to buy the whole game the more it'll keep happening. Items you don't "need" are what keep f2p games in business. I pay a sub so I don't have to worry about what I get or don't get in the base game. Do we really want our sub to give us the bare minimum game play experience of a free to play game? Cause that where this feels like it's headed. A sub model should include all aspects of the game. The same thing happened in another sub based games cash shop, started small and now all the best mounts are there and the "normal" players get reskins for rep grinds. Players paying more get a better more complete game.

I've been sick of the "cosmetic/optional" argument for years but I put up with it. People play these games for different reasons. If you're a "glamour is endgame" player, how are these items not pay to win? Anything besides basic account services (name change, server transfers, character rerolls) is gameplay that some one may have enjoyed having as part of what should be a full game. Now it's more inventory? In a game designed to flood you with more items than you'll ever need. Encourage hoarding, limit space. Be more f2p model why don't you.

Overall, bottom line, I've never felt SE reinvests enough of the profits back into this game and now I feel they are taking it one step further by nickel and diming us for new content and QOL improvements that should be included with a sub.

Also, if you're upset that people are posting these complaints here blame SE for not having a legit exit survey. I've been playing for years and they ask one multiple choice question with cherry picked answers when I leave. First and last post!

It's still option. But as a decent equivalent: What about having netflix giving me the app with extra features for $5 more, besides my already existing subscription?
