Exactly.

To get away from this kind of stuff is why FFXIV came onto my radar as a possible MMO to play to start with.
They were the one remaining subscribe to play MMO as far as I am aware.

There is a noticeable difference in friendliness of player base when pay options aren't at the forefront.
This is because interactions with other players and self development are the forefront when the pay extra elements are not present.

I only have a few days of game time left.
It will certainly be time for a break if the spam in the launcher is still there.
Things like this set the tone. Is it about an online adventure with other players?
With the way it is right next to the play button this sets a tone away from adventure and away from other players.

The launcher is the first thing you see, it shifts the mind into gear.
If the launcher is bad, the gears of the mind will grind instead of operate freely as they should.
