When the point is based off of a false assumption and not evidence, then it should be thrown away, Tupsi.

They're trying to equate the quality to the product to the expense on the customer which is false logic.

The quality of a product is based on the expense to the person selling the product, and isn't always the case. More often or not, the additional cost gets passed on to the customer - which provides the basis for that false logic, but that does not make the rule true.

Take, for example car tires. Buying them at the dealership and paying more, does not mean you're getting the better quality tire than if you bought that tire from a tire-shop, as a dealership has to mark-up the price of a tire to make any sort of profit from it, regardless if they already had it in stock or not.

Same thing for Synthetic Oil. The dealership's cost more and is NOT necessarily better than if you brought in your own at less.

And then there's faulty product. Lets go back to gaming. Rift, Aion, SWTOR, all spent tons of money trying to create a better product, and, to many, they did not feel as if they got their money's worth on the product. These were subscription based games of the same model and superior production value than FFXIV.

Heck, did WE get what we paid for in FFXIV yet? That alone should be evidence to the contrary of such a broad and blanketed statement. It's an absolute statement, which are more often false then they are true.
