    Whoever is on finance team, should be reviewed for sure. Don't give me this crap about server parts. You can still purchase them as of right now for a premium. That premium is significantly less than the money they squandered with compensation.

    That isn't exactly true. There's a 6-month to a year long wait period for stuff that needs semiconductors due to a shortage.

    Aaaaand there it is. There isnt that level of wait for business willing to spend a premium to secure them. Lets say in a random world each server to fully build costs a 6million premium. You pay 50 cents to play each day give or take. If ff has 12 million people (should be higher) playing each day, they make 6 million per day off subscriptions. Each day compensated could have just been another server they were willing to buy. I have no business degree and I can figure that out. How on earth do you have an entire finance department who cant figure that out!!!!

    Didi you miss the Dev messages from SE saying that they are struggling on getting servers due to the shortage? and they are willing to pay premium and a bit more to get a hold of them? Because if I am reading this correctly no.... no you did not read this since they stated this sometime ago and again recently

    and there it is..

    faulty numbers and math.

    this is not the WoW you came from. FFxiv does not have 6 million concurrent active users.

    if you were around earlier in all this, you would have seen a letter in which they stated they were unable to get hardware even ABOVE MARKET VALUE.

    I know you are just venting, but gathering information and knowing what happened before you joined us, would be helpful in not making you look.... uninformed. in case you are not aware, there is a pandemic as well thats going on, it has impacted some things in the world... just in case you were off planet somewhere.

    Yeah just not believing them at all about not being able to purchase something. Money can and will be able to secure any product. Havent cared about wow since Mists of pandaria, but good try.

    It was a scenario and simplistic math that you couldn't seem to grasp. WoW has no context in the post he made, nor would it matter if they did play WoW. The vast majority of FFXIV players have all dabbled in WoW previously or even continue to at times, so that statement was just pure ignorance on your part. Maybe the company did try, but a letter means absolutely nothing. So continue sheeping along if you insist, but a letter from a dev holds very little face value in any game.

    Do you believe everything you are told?

    Ok, ok. I once went to space and saw a space cow, it mooed at me, was pretty awesome stuff. Ok, go tell your friends.

    Now I don't know about Square Enix but in general Japanese companies don't operate like companies in the western world do, every single decision has to go through each upper manager until it reaches the end boss, it could be anyone on any level who thought the purchase was "unnecessary", check the ringi decision system- I've dealt a lot with this through work. But I believe they probably realize they made a huge mistake by now question is what happens over x-mas but it's probably not unlikely that heads will roll.
