Suggestion: For Rising 2019

It a lie when you tell your player base that these items are exclusive to those who endured the painfulness of 1.0. If not for us, this game wouldn't be here today and it wouldn't be SE little cash cow. A cash cow may I remind you that is still a broken. Yeah sure, why have ANY respect for the people who stayed right up to the end.

Actually, if not for Yoshi-P, XIV wouldn't have had the makeover that it did, to be fair. The 1.0 players were the beta testers, unfortunately. But, ultimately? He was the one who actually turned XIV into something profitable, not the 1.0 players themselves essentially. They could have hired anyone besides Yoshi-P even with the 1.0 players and that director could have burned it further into the ground. The game is here because Yoshi-P took something terrible that he already knew was terrible from the last director, 1.0 players or not. No offense. Aside from the 1.0 players, we have ARR, HW, and SB players still funneling this game alive. It's not just about you guys. We're still here up to the end.

Contract or no contract, you don't go telling a paying customer that something is exclusive to them and then some years later give it to everyone. That poor business no matter how you look at it.

Actually, that's normal business practice. Every company besides SE will lie to their customer base in some form or way.

And you may think, "Oh it not going to break the bank." and this one won't, but it just another thing that being pile on top of what already wrong/bad with this game and SE as company. One day, it will catch up to them.

It's not. Years later, people will forget this event even existed and SE will still do what SE does whether you drop your sub fee over this or not.

Lying is not "normal" and shouldn't be excused just because other people also lie.

Ok, so what your sitting here trying to tell me is that the players of 1.0 had nothing to do with the game continuing on and we were only beta testers? ok.... lol
Hate to break this to you, but SE would've never looked at the game twice if nobody was playing it. Only reason Yoshi-P got singed on to remake the game was because of us who stayed.

But believe whatever you like cookie.

Just wondering what does that have to do with anything? Do 1.0 players want a cookie for sticking with a broken game? What is the relevance of being a 1.0 player in patch 4.0 and beyond? I mean truth be told beta tester is generous, I would say many 1.0 players were suckers that followed brand loyalty.
