But while I won't be pulled away from one MMO to the other, I *can* still drop Final Fantasy 14 if it doesn't get its act together, and if it takes WoW lighting a fire under their ass to do that, then so be it.
I could equally say after having added up all the numbers myself, I am never buying a thing from the 14 store again. It was rather eye opening to add up row after row and go "How is Costume Sets alone worth more then WoW's whole store." The reason I ran those numbers was curiosity at this claim that Blizzard was way worse about their monetization of WoW after seeing it cited for so long and I wanted actual data. I won't disagree both are bad but 14 is a whole lot worse on the overall due to the aggressive amount of small purchase items. You never really realize how much $7 emotes or $18 outfits add up and that was the point of my former comparison.
