I also have multiple business degrees and can explain to you why a company extorting it's customers will make more money than a company that treats it's customers fairly - which is fine, to me, since I like to believe that I'm an employee of Square Enix, not a customer. I'm really excited to spend all my money on things I've already paid for so they can give us Ala Mhigo in 4.0 complete with Ul'dah textures, reused assets filling every crevice, and le epic references to past Final Fantasy games instead of sticking with the well established FF14 lore!
    Oooh, very edgy and dismissive. So why are you still playing?

    If he wasn't playing the most likely response would be "How can you even criticize this masterpiece if you aren't even playing it!".

    Except nobody is saying it's a masterpiece and insulting those that don't mind a cash shop is really effective at getting us to come over to your way of thinking.

    It's very clear no one can really convince pro cash shop people. They've made their minds already about how cool and morally superior of them it is to support a business that's out to make even more money, oh and they love Final Fantasy too I guess, so props on that.

    Obviously, as we're hostages and SE is the captor.

    I scoff at the "support SE" argument too. But stop slinging the term "moral superiority" around. You're doing it just as much.

    I tried being reasonable with this whole "argument" but everyone on pro-cash shop side literally has 0 argument for their cause other than 'I want to throw money at SE'. It's like, have you seen that movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Remember the Black Knight? That's this.

    Also I don't intend to keep playing, I'll likely play once a month per patch to catch the story (which they haven't completely screwed up yet though it's certainly heading that way) but if things get even worse I'll just unsubscribe completely. Thanks for asking!
