    You either don't understand the meaning of hyperbole or fear mongering. Most responses in this thread have been just fine. Also, you changed the wording in your comment above. Minor, but it still lessens the effect.

    And it is completely relevant. F2P/B2P and P2P games have completely different business models. If XIV is wanting to give the option for new players to skip MSQ, why not build that into the game? Instead, they're content to add it to the cash shop.

    1) Again, I didn't say "nearly all the responses in this thread". I said nearly all the people complaining about the cash shop have used fearmongering hyperbole, which is a fact. There are several examples on the last 3 pages alone.

    2) I didn't change the wording of anything. Stop lying in order to attempt to score "interwebz points".


    And it is completely relevant. F2P/B2P and P2P games have completely different business models. If XIV is wanting to give the option for new players to skip MSQ, why not build that into the game? Instead, they're content to add it to the cash shop.
    No, it is not. Whether a game has a level skip option is not at all relevant to whether it has a subscription or not. Zero relevance.

    And just to hammer that point home for you a second time, the main major competitor to FFXIV which has a subscription (WoW) has level skip options purchasable in their cash shop along with mounts and plenty of other cosmetics.
