so could be money, could be RMT. wish they would talk to us again about this since it's been over two years, and obviously this restriction hasn't hindered RMT significantly
As someone already stated, "various" means they don't want to admit that it would hinder their money, right now they have people fooled and trapping them into buying retainers, allowing this will severly diminsh this. They could do it in FFXI because you had to pay for extra characters. so it's pretty clear. In no way would this stop or hinder rmt in anyway, because all they would do is use other characters to trade. I mean it wasn't even a good excuse.

and that Q&A said we would be able to change eye color in the barber shop, Which we still can't do.
