I was optimistic about people's reaction. Of course I gave to the Red Cross, 30 € and yet I am a student without coin!

I think that a few people give in reality and it is therefore pointless to invite people to donate. A few will. But if we use a system where your donation becomes an exchange of service, then people give more because they also receive something. That's why I also supported the idea of Evangelus to create buy able items. Everything is good to collectivize solidarity, instead of remaining at individual level, actually quite low.

This idea also came to my mind when I was seeing the musicians in Paris underground. Why people give more to musicians than mere supplicants? Because these musicians offer their service for a few minutes. Because they give a momentary pleasure and it deserves to be rewarded.

My idea was the same. In exchange for the pleasure to play FFXIV, with the money we would pay Square Enix could have donate it. As I mentioned earlier many large corporations already did the same thing. There is no utopia. But collectivization of solidarity is so difficult in a very individualistic society ...
