2. the first x amount of PCs are regestered to use, the problem with this is if you havent use the entire alotment of PCs then the system is useless, and it might as well be scrapped.

Also it was either in patch notes or one of Yoshi-P's letters when it was implemented, if you dont read those then you wont of heard it, there has been no reason to publicize it to the world, just where it matters.
1) agree

2) Like ps3 for content downloaded from psn or mp3 buyed from iTunes, a person can remove a PC from the System.

Obviously the "recognize system" must be protected. (with IP check system maybe)

But i think that in this way issue was solved and anyone can log from friend's PC (with FFXIV), from laptop when outside (train, airport, home, in a personal store where you work, ecc).


Obviously i think that people register only PC that can be considered "SAFE", and not a internet cafe's PC XD

In this way if we have a keylogger, like the IP system, the hacker can't use our accout.

A sort of MAC protection in FFXIV, where we can choose the PC that are entrusted
