Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

Then you probably know what happened to ragnarok online, and many other games. If you think that this is okay, and that the MMO player shouldn't be afraid, that's great. Really. Doesn't change the fact that other people feel different, and if you choose to ignore all their reasons even looking at MMO market I can only guess that you have no empathy at all.

And what i am saying is that if the items were not to be monetized, they may not have bothered to create them to begin with.

Well what makes it worse, don't you think? The fact that the item idea just exist to make money sounds very greedy. They could've put it into the game and they make a recolour, but no. The choice for an exclusive item says much about an intention.
And if you get my suggestion to read the topic, there's already proof of how this idea of "acess to the servers" isn't true. I won't do the job for you though, since you're a person that cares so much about information.

My subs give me the right to give my feedback and my opinion about their moves, deal with it. I am a customer, like it or not. Square Enix asked for my complaints. What everyone is saying here IS feedback, doesn't matter if you don't see it as feedback. If you can't deal with it, leave the forums. I'll stay here watching for the game I like.
