Oh, so FFXIV is pay-to-win? That's... stupid.

I paid for the game. I paid for the expansion. I pay a monthly fee just to play the game. All that is fine. What is not fine is paying anything more than that for functionality in the game. You want to charge extra for purely cosmetic items? Fine, that's the world we live in now (game companies are greedy). However, I should NOT be made to pay an additional monthly fee for additional bank space, a core functionality of any MMO.

This is so wrong, it's really not even funny. There are other MMOs that charge for bank space, and you know what? They charge you a one-time fee for the "service". And you know what else? THEY'RE ALL FREE-TO-PLAY! And EVEN THEN, a great many of them offer in-game ways to earn the currency/services you'd otherwise purchase with real money. What, you're not making enough off your sales and 4 million subscriptions? Because by my calculations, that's well over 40 million per month, which makes this a HALF-A-BILLION-per-year game in subs alone.

Square Enix... just imagine that I am swearing and calling you very unkind and demeaning names, because that's what I really feel like doing. You can include the terms "shiesty" and "greedy" in there.
