Goodbye to the lots of you come thursday

[Biggs]

Yes but if they keep running this game f2p then they're gonna keep losing money and they're stocks will drop. Then no one will invest in them, and they will lose lots of money because of that. Charging right now is a fabulous idea.

Um, the game has been out over a year now and there hasn't been a single new job or level cap increase. I have no problem with them charging for their product, but I think they may have kept more people had they waited until 1.21 when we will at least have some new jobs and more to do than what was released in the last patch. Not to mention, the crafting situation right now is a joke. Half of the recipes in the game now are new ones sitting on top of a foundation of old ones that are STILL coded into the game.

Also, you seem to have no idea what this is costing them, so to make the comment that they will lose investors in light of the fact that this game has done all the damage to its investors that its going to do seems foolish. If they weren't willing to do whatever it takes to fix this game and keep their clients happy, then they should never have officially announced that they were "WIlling to do whatever it takes to make FF XIV a success".

Certainly I 100% agree with you that it is their right to decide when to charge, and that in order for it to be successful we will need to start paying monthly fees. It just seems to me that they should have waited a patch or 2 longer then charged everyone regular price to make up the difference.
