it's not white knighting to present a different view.
SE is still a company, and will do everything they can to bring in revenue. This is a given. However I don't feel we're being "ripped off" or shortchanged. This is a difference of opinion, not an unwarranted defense of them. They are doing many good things and a few cruddy things. My purpose in posting is to present my view and possibly broaden how you or anyone else following this thread sees the situation.
The snarky (thanks for correcting me, I'm still working on my English) and more or less white knighting portion was directed at Kaiden. The "shortchanged" part (by your words) was directed at you. When a company put a product up on (in?) the market, customers will inevitably compare it to similar products already present in the market. Inventory space is an issue with some players, and when certain methods that can help ease said issue is common in other similar products (hence a standard) is missing over here, and the only "solution" SE can provide now is additional charges on top of complaining about server issue all the time, it's really hard to give them the benefit of doubt.

If I'm watching a drama right now, the dialog would be something like this:

"Oh hey listen up, we know some of you been having issues with inventory space, but we can't give you more of them because #server-issues, but you can rent it instead for $2 a month. Just take it, and go."

And let's be fair, as much as I love XIV, SE reputation is... just do a quick google yeah? I hope we can get some quality QoL changes in the future.
