They're working it out and the game is a really fun place now, and it's only going to get better!" Then I go into the details and everything, and the person usually looks surprised and interested, and seems to change their mind about it a little.
And once I feel the game becomes something they might enjoy I'll suggest they try it out. I'll tell them about all the awesome new features and things to do.

But hey, if people wanna act like playing a game is some terrible thing to do, then let them. If you don't react to it they'll likely get bored and stop teasing. There's nothing shameful about believing in something/someone(SE) and supporting them. It's called loyalty.

I don't think any peer pressure is SE's fault. They're doing the very best they can. People act like jerks of their own accord.
Pony sig? heh I tell you dont care what others think

Anyways if you don't want to pay simply don't it doesn't matter I am pretty sure Wada (as hes the reason for the billing to begin again) is blind by the fact that doing this will hurt an already dwindling population but hey there's FF14 2.0 in a year right?
