lets be real here to really play ( and i mean really play ff14 you have to be spendng around 25 dollars a month just on sub for space not even counting for the changes that sometimes are often others rare your dropping another 10-20 dollars lol

What on Earth does it mean to "really play" for you?
I've been playing the shit out of this game on just the base sub and never felt restricted.

Well to have realistc space it adds up (this more so on people who like to gather)
and to sell consindering each retainer can only put up 20 items (might be wrong here as I'm not online atm)
so ya that adds up rather quickly....
my other account (oldest one) that I loved to gather on i had almost 3 retainers full of ores and food/leathers fish wood plants (though that was pre hw back when I had bloom...)

Then you got almost every decent emote in the mog station lol thats like 7-12 dollars each lol (not monthly but still lol)

I'd be curious to see how many do tbh. Probably most people, but it's interesting to consider.

Me, I'm on the reduced sub because playing alts in this game is an exercise in masochism, but I still pay ~17 a month because I have two extra retainers. Because alts are so miserable and don't share resources, I can't make a bank alt like I might in another game, and the sheer amount of glamour gear and furniture that I have no convenient way to store means I'm constantly having to shuffle space. I'm in a good spot for space with four retainers, but dropping to just two would mean ditching a TON of stuff that I really don't want to ditch.

Anyway I dunno WTF the problem is with their tech infrastructure apparently being totally screwed up, or if throwing money at it would fix it, but... seriously, some of this game's systems or lack of systems... and the character customization limitations... are just super odd to me. Every game has its quirks and flaws obviously but I mean, things like tying Hrothgar hair to their face are just so incredibly head scratching that I really gotta wonder wtf is going on under the hood here.
