If you are given the choice to live in eorzea

As you said in the OP, you're not in my world. I'd free her indentured servants and let them have their way with her, whatever that would entail. If she'd be alive afterwards, i'd make sure that wouldn't last long.

Is Rowena that bad? I didn't even think she had servants lol, just workers, they don't seem that mad about working under her. Like sure, she's entirely business oriented and thinks about profits more than people, but hey, someone's got to in Eorzea I guess to make the economy go around.

I had no idea Rowena hate was this strong haha. Doesn't she employ older orphans and give them homes/steady income, aswell as let the younger ones remain in her employ while doing things they enjoy?

Also, the person you're replying to doesn't understand what indentured servants are lol.

Maybe, but as a god killing walking weapon, i can do what i want. Making Rowena dead and throwing Ul'dah to the wolves is something i'd very much like to do. Whether Ul'dah can pick itself up and if the for now free slaves are going to just end in the same situation afterwards isn't my business.

Also, yes, i do realize that i'm being the perfect example of why we're all lucky humans can't have superpowers.

Rowena is actually a walking parody of something that happened in real life. For relevance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip

Workers were more or less owned by the Company, just like Rowena's workers are. They are indebted and contracted to her. They are paid only in scrip which can only be used in her store fronts. Often these workers IRL (and just like poor Gerolt) only get deeper in debt no matter how much they work, thus keeping them under the company's (or Rowena's) thumb. Meanwhile, she rakes in all of the actual monetary profit of their work and they don't really see any of it, same as the IRL companies did.

There is a pretty famous song about all this by the name "Sixteen Tons." It's pretty good.

If I'm my post-Endwalker WoL, I guess I'll go practice my Red Mage skills while I wait for [REDACTED For 6.X story spoilers] to happen.
