Low server population.. yet SE wants to be stingy?

To be honest here, you dont have to rebuy anything. You can still play on the PS3.

Also, they did have a pretty long upgrade campaign for the PS3 to PS4 upgrade, and iirc even extended it for a bit.

As a long time player of FXIV (playing since Dec 2010) I can tell you that numerous emails were sent out at the time, while the upgrade campaign was underway. It also took place from April 11, 2014 to April 1, 2015 - almost a full year. I will note that even if you had upgraded at the time, it would have rendered your PS3 copy useless UNTIL you had a PS4 to play the game on. Even then you would have had to buy the expansion for the PS4.

edit: The base game + expansion for the PS4 isn't 100.00. SE is selling it for 59.99. It's possible that you could find it cheaper online, or on sale in the coming weeks.
