I know this is a cliche but i see it as an optional thing. I know i will at least try out premium cause i see the benefits for my playstyle and what i find enjoyable in this game.

While I can understand people's concern this is just the start I think people are overthinking. People said same with Mogstation in 2014 and there have of course been negativity regarding that plattform since it was introduced but people have learned to accept it and so will people about the app eventually.
That is the issue on your end. Some of us really care where our money is going. We are not seeing the game validate the cost they charge. For example, my girlfriend really wants the princess dress, but given the quality if it, meaning the huge clipping issues of it, with it being 18 dollars for one character, it makes it clear 18 dollars worth of effort for one character was not put in making it. It is very disrespectful to some people to be attempting to rip people off basically. It may be optional, but people also have the option to never buy newer products from said company from feeling burned. SE may be making bank now, but what does the future hold with all this bad reputation FFXIV gave as far as the future?
