Paying for it is fine if you haven't tried it out before. He was in beta and we all know what this game was like at launch. Honestly, I bought it the other day because i was bored and even the guys at my local gamestop were trying to get me to NOT buy it. Bottom line is, SE stated that at the launch of patch 1.21 they were going to do more PR to try to get more people to play. But with all the people still in the local game stores and not to mention pretty much everywhere you go (except for the FF14 forums) saying how bad it was and not to bother, They still won't make any money. They should, on the other hand, start a trial period (14 days if anything, hell, a week would work) to show people the changes that have been made. Yes, they wouldn't make any money initially off the keys, BUT they would probably make more money off subscribers that it would make up for that. Or they could require a purchase of the game after you hit 10 or something idk. But I just don't see them making anything on it without it. I had 2 buddies of mine who played it for the free time that it was F2P and they stopped when the charges came just because they said they wanted to put there money elsewhere. That's all i'm getting at though honestly. It's just smart business at this point

Also, sorry TheVedis, but how is it against the rules to ask for something that came for Free with the collectors edition and was meant to be given out for Free and not sold for a personal profit?
