Thread: 2.2 Retainers via Microtransactions

I doubt any company would turn down the chance to earn extra revenue. As much as I hate the latest trend with SE and pushing micro transactions onto all of their recent releases, I feel that if people weren't paying, they wouldn't do it. That being said, this seems like a situation where supply and demand win over sowing seeds of good will with your fanbase. As long as people keep paying for it, there will be more additional services like this tacked on to get your hard earned money.

Don't want to deal with it? Want a change? Stop paying. It's that simple. You'll find that such strong will is not really easy to be found these days. At least not for fans of a video game with cat people in it, I guess. Really though it's no reason to unsub over simply because some dude with more money buys some extra retainers or Gil or Fantasia or world transfers or future services to be named later.

Nah if it was that simple RMT would of been stopped a long time ago. People get addicted to buying and companies keep making new crap they can buy.

That's exactly what I plan to do if this change sees the live release, as said in the OP.

They are gathering worthless items for crying out loud, it wouldnt even bother me if ppl went all their way to purchase multiple retainers and put them all on ventures, market will be overloaded anyway and prices will went to shit, its not even P2W, geez... Just because they are introducting microtransaction, it doesnt necessarilly will put someone in major disadvantage or put it this way, winning this game.

NO. CAPS FOR EMPHASIS.

UNLESS THEY LET MY RETAINER FARM TWINTANIA.

Someone finally managed to articulate my thoughts on P2W.

Thank you.

The question, then, is what are you going to DO with all that gil?
