That was really mean. :'^(
*sees someone play mental volleyball by splitting hairs of the meaning of a phrase*
Okay, we need to stop. This is getting too meta, lol.
I believe it was from a Babylon's fall crossover event with XIV. The event itself went into the sundering itself.

I mean, I did not say they weren’t those things. I said, literally, “ But it's hard to compare FFXIV as a game full of microtransactions/DLC like certain other games out there.”Funny you mention Conan Exiles considering modders are doing the same thing to fix the devs mistakes with the new races, lmao. Also, it's a bit disingenuous to compare a f2p game like waifu impact to a monthly sub game like Final Fantasia XIV. Though the fact you can make comparisons to those two when it comes to cash shop stuff is a bit worrying!
Edit:
are you going to tell me that expansions packs are not dlc and the mogshop is not a key example of microtransactions? I just reread what you posted and I got a good chuckle at this gem, lol.
As in, it is hard to compare a game that sells non-gameplay elements like skins to other games that use more that are much more predatory. I’m talking things like loot crates from EA to possibly get an OP Darth Vader level predatory.
On the above, i don’t play/don’t care about other mmo’s/f2p/etc. the games I have played that were f2p and I was into aren’t really so different from FFXIV in price at the end of the day; LOTRO comes to mind, where you had to buy each zone individually. Sure, f2p, but buying several zones makes it cost about the same as an expac of FF.
FF on the other hand has an incredibly generous free trial… so can’t really compare it to anything I know of really.
Also, I guess I should clarify- your tone seems to think I dislike mods or hate piracy. I don’t really care one way or the other about them; if it’s easy to do (eg Conan), I’m all about using mods and not buying their overpriced DLC. I haven’t bought anything from SE’s store either. Not that I can’t, I just would rather buy an entirely new game for 30 bucks or whatever.

there are many(including a well known streamer) who think the only solution is to let things get worse before it gets better.
Trial by fire sorta thing.
WHEN THAT IS SO FALSE.
[Sure, SE has been in the fire, but]
That fire doesn't always dictate how things go
