Do you still think FFXIV should be Monthly Sub Model ?

[Clockworks]

I play a B2P game with an optional sub that has pop-ups every time I log in advertising their latest $50 RL store options. It's obnoxious and I have to click out of them.

I appreciate not having to deal with this in XIV. Most people can quickly ignore an ad on the login screen.

I'm not sure if you just expected an echo chamber of people agreeing with you that the game should be free, but many of us have a lot of experiences with MMOs for up to 25+ years now and have seen it all, and a lot out there is far worse than this.

I just said in the previous page I dont want the game to be free, the community which is already bad as it is would get even worse with free to play users. But people's justifications for the pay to play model are just wrong.
