Keep NFT out of FF14

[HyperiusUltima]

I will only pray to god that they do not do NFTs. The moment that XIV decides to do NFTs in-game is when this game dies. Haven't they bothered to even look at Ubisoft's gigantic gaming backlash? PLAYERS DO NOT WANT NFTs. PERIOD. Next Livestream we need to send that message to Yoshida straight up as a community.

You're wrong about that. As SE's CEO himself said in his recently letter, there are players who "play to have fun" and then there are those players who "play to contribute." I know there are many of us who have just been waiting for the chance to give back to this for-profit corporation and now's our chance!!

Nice sarcasm. But yeah, the whole deal with "play to have fun" is more or less relevant to at least 90% of their revenue for FFXIV. The "play to contribute" part is directed towards their influencers, which is <1% of the playerbase of XIV. If we're considering other games with online functionality, then NFTs are more or less an attempt to get the "play to have fun" people to either be made to buy into the "play to contribute" portion or simply have the company take a cut in sales of say, anything XIV-related. This would be devastating for Artists of all kinds as well for XIV.

If anyone really needs a good retrospective view, check out Quazii's Youtube. He actually did a video on this particular issue and goes into depth about it(despite him basically reacting to Asmongold, for those who've already seen Asmongold's video).
