    Didn't you speak about how other posters shouldn't be using an "eye for an eye" in Kaiva's thread and now you're allowing it here? You're kind of going back against your own words. Reacting sarcastically towards another user's sarcastic post solves nothing and in fact, is just as bad as being rude or insulting, it creates a hostile environment where everything starts to become approached by high-strung feelings rather than rational thought.

    I mean, if that's what you believe then fine, I can't change your opinion only you can, but...you can't call out other users for doing it and then say that it's acceptable in this situation because of a "this user did it first, so it's okay for this user to to do it too". It's still an eye for an eye no matter which way you can spin it...

    Both sides got a little heated, but you shouldn't respond to sarcasm with just more sarcasm, it goes no where as Hyomin had said and just makes you look petty and blowing things out of proportion. Although, sometimes it is hard to avoid in certain topics, but...hyperbole and exaggerations seems to be the trigger that riles everyone up lately too.

    The eye for the eye thing was more about insulting the poster which I did not. We kinda did want to point out how the argument can be used even further and on everything. Like if you say that its fine that they use the price then its fine to use the prices even if they reach quite high. That points out a flaw in their argumentation and is not about insulting the poster. (Which my post in Kaivas thread was about) If I would go and say how she is xxx and should stop posting or calling her names I would be rude. But pointing out how far one can take the argument is imo not. I also said that its not the worst one can do which means that it may not be the best either but it also is not attacking them or anything.

    My own sarcasmus was more about a hint that I did not mean it as that. That I would not be fine with it costing that much money.

    Edit: But maybe it got a bit too heated and for that I am sorry. I just really dislike arguments that make it look like we are just poor and thus thats why we complain. They dont do much for the discussion and I wanted to point that out. Maybe in the wrong way.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
