Who is jumping ship once they start charging in November?

This thread was derailed a few pages back anyway. It seems the OP was just looking for a yes or no answer, not some perpetual e-debate nonsense.

People challenge your opinion because they don't agree or don't understand it. If you post your opinion, then expect to have it challenged.

i cant defend half of their accusations because of indisputable harm to SE

Yes, I get that, but don't expect people to leave your opinions unchallenged. If you think the debate is pointless and dead, then stop participating in it. Again, you're making assumptions about my opinion. I think it's the wrong time to charge. It's my opinion. People are welcome to come and challenge it and I'll defend my stance. You seem to have an opinion, but are unwilling to defend it because it's "pointless and one sided."

i cant defend half of their accusations because of indisputable harm to SE making my side of the debate mute.

think you have your internet forum terminology mixed up. You don't know what trolling is, and now you think posting 8 minutes after the last post is a necro. By your logic, I don't need a justifiable reason to post.

i said a dead debate. not a dead thread you must have missed my submission to the debate like 5 post ago. i will however continue to vent my disatification on these forums.

I laughed so hard at your reason for editing. Touche.

I'll be staying. I think the game is worth the $15 a month to play. I do think that they should not be charging us yet, but I want to keep playing. I'm very addicted to this game again.

Perhapes your computer just sucks or you need to get a new rounter?
When I first started the game when it came out the lag sucked, But that was only because my router sucked and I didn't know it at the time.

I got the rounter fixed and I haven't seen lag ones.

Well, take a look at a site like GamerEscape, formally Eorzeapedia. Back in their FFXIClopedia days, they were one of the hottest Final Fantasy communities out there. They were just known as "The Wiki."

Now they're ghost town and charges for FFXIV haven't even started yet. How are they supposed to maintain a wiki site without a community to back them up?

FFXIClopedia was also the main source of incorrect and outright false information back in the day, with it's mods and admins encouraging said activities which is outright ridiculous (WS's can be paralyzed guys).

The fact is, though, that many, many more sites related to collecting information have popped up since the start of the service, which is because FFXIClopedia doesn't have such a tight grip on the game as it did with XI. Personally, I wouldn't like to see GamerEscape be the #1 wiki site this time, considering their shady tactics before and the fact that the damn site doesn't even work for me half the time.

While one, main site has yet to emerge, there are countless more people trying to succeed in being 'the one' than before. I think this kind of competition will only make the "winner" be much better than what XIClopedia ended up to be.

And I don't think they will be going anywhere anytime soon. XIClopedia can crash and burn for all I care, if they don't have what it takes to become number one.

The only problem I see with the current trends is that information can be slightly scattered around, and actual contributors like Kaeko of BG post their findings in blogs or 3rd party forums. Nevertheless, the lack of contributors is hardly the issue here. I especially like ffxiv-db so far and I hope the best for it.
