We pay for expansions and a sub in this game, yet continually more and more additional paid features are added. The whole point of a sub MMO is NOT for this to occur. I don't think I've ever come across a sub MMO with this many paid features before. ESO which has a large active community these days provides store currency if you choose to pay a monthly sub. Frankly, SE is demonstrating pure greed... and we buy into it.

Clearly many are willing to pay the sub plus the retainer fees, mog store items, companion app fees, ect... While I agree with all the complaint threads, things aren't going to change given the player base overall financially supports these features.
There is plenty of stuff I would buy from mog station if it was cheaper and reasonable (but all it combined adds to be being too much) for a sub mmo... with retainer sub fees and app sub fee.. I cancel sub then if you are going to be that greedy.

FFXIV is F2P model locked behind sub.

yeah cut out the middle man, just let everything be buyable with IRL money. Gil is not pay to win so why not let us buy gil? Paying for savage mount is no different then buying it from some group with gil so why not? just like leveling potions, you buying a mount does not effect my play experience.
