Pay SE while game is down

[Alhanelem]

Hypothetically if SE offered an option for you to continue paying for FFXIV services while it's down for the ARR transition & offered bonuses (other than the Legacy ones), would you have chosen to do so?

I know it's too late for SE to offer it, and not like they would but I think it merits an interesting discussion topic.

I for one would have taken the offer. Whatever bonuses they could have concocted would look nice next to my Legacy bird.

No, for one simple reason: It won't make the game come out faster. Why would I pay money for a service that isn't being rendered?

They're already putting a crap ton of man-hours into this project- throwing more money at them won't create more hours in a day or a time machine.

I never stated in the hypothetical scenario that it would make the game come out faster...

You didn't state it, but there isn't any other reason'motivation to pay for a game you can't play. SE isn't bankrupt yet and doesn't need charity to get the game done.

If you want bonus items or something like that, they can offer stuff like that without something as silly as "pay the subscription fee until the game is released to get a reward."

That is a good idea too. I was never suggesting SE even do it. I was seriously just proposing a "what if" topic. Nothing more than that. I don't think it's silly either & you're entitled to your opinion too but personally I feel it unnecessary to criticize other's opinion. That goes for many of you.

Some of you like to call those of us who would be willing to pay while the game is down idiots. Just know that even when my opinion differs from yours I will give you the respect you deserve, even if you don't give it in return.
