I know.. metaphors and such, I can see why they're trying to milk money out of us to keep their numbers looking good, But I don't know if it will have a positive impact in the long run. I mean, do you think people who look to play XIV might subscribe and then be turned off to the game once they realize theres a second pay wall they'll probably have to consider in the future if they want any of the good vanity/dye/mounts? I bet theres at least some.
