Do You Think FF XIV Will Start Getting The Hate WoW Gets Because of The Cash Shop?

Probably not but it should. People are more accepting of getting milked here for some reason. Wow has alot of unique in game mounts too, probably way more than xiv and xiv is not immune to lazy mount reskins (hello horses and birds)

And they may not sell tokens here but let's not pretend they do anything to stop rmt. Open your party finder any time of day and there's 10+ in your face 24/7.

Mostly because funds from the mogstation gets cycled back into the game. That is what has paid for for the newer data centers for other parts of the world if I'm not mistaken. And of course WoW has more mounts in it.. it's been operating for almost 20 years. >.>

As to the RMT comment.

They do plenty to deal with RMT. Typically they're tracing where Gil goes before they act so that they're hitting the buyer, the advertisers, the traders, and the bots that are sourcing the Gil.

Unless you're referring to RMT pertaining to paid carries, then those are being worked on to be addressed. In a recent interview Yoshi-P stated the ToS needs updating so it can properly be addressed.

Ehhhhhh you can get gil through the cash shop. Just make an alt and buy the story skip. $25 for what 500k gil? Nothing spectacular but it's enough to do things like fill up on crafting crystals and what not.

I mean if you want to look at it that way sure, but you're just getting the Gil you would have gotten from the quests up until that point.

i looked over the topic and reported numerous comments that were stirring up trouble and making rude or downright negative remarks towards me. It seems I have a number of fangirls and fanboys :shrug





yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with a lot of the mounts. Same model, different texture.

I thought this thread was closed???
Did you reopen it??

You didn't get any negative remarks. people didn't agree with your post and you got upset and "closed" it.
