Paying Per Character

[Magnesium02]

They quite clearly stated when FFXIV first came out that the cost per month would be $12 - broken up into a subscription fee and a character fee. This gave people the flexibility for people to pay for the number of characters you want to play and to pay for the number of retainers. So why are people complaining about the $3 character fee. It isn't something they have just tacked on, it is something that has always been there. If you want to add to the server load by having the data for 2 characters and all their information and items, then you pay more.

I am not going to subsidise the ability for you to play as many characters as you want when I am quite happy with one. Nothing is free. You want it you pay for it, If you don't want to pay then you have to manage with only one character.

Why pay more? No other game charges for extra characters data because it doesn't cost more to have them.

SE is just greedy and wants to impose limits that no other game has - what reason is there to impose them when no other game does?

Because RMT is a problem
Because storage space is limiting
Because you can corner the market and mess with the economy
Because you can play 95% of the game on one character
Because it's there game and they decide wtf to do with it
Because FFXI had a similar pricing plan

Translation: SE is greedy and wants to impose limits that no other game has for no other reason then greed.

RMT are not going away with these limits imposed.
Why limit storage space when you don't have to?
You can corner the market with these limits imposed.
I paid for 100% of the game already, not just 95%.
Yes, they can do what they want with their game - be greedy and limiting or be reasonable and not impose limits that need not be there.
This is FFXIV, not FFXI.
