Plots everywhere demolished and open!

I use the sub to not have to buy every single little expansion pack. Dropping $15 for a month to do all the content and then not play for a while is more cost effective for me as a player. There are greater issues with them scalping rewards out of high end content for the crownstore, but that is a separate discussion that lines up with SE itself.



SE is a pay to play game with $40 mounts in their cash shop. For a game that has no benefit for picking one race or another (reasons race change purchases, or other games refusing to offer them, exist) they make you pay $10 for the privilege of changing your skin color.

I also don't buy the guilt-trip that "proceeds made from the mogstation go right back to ffxiv developers". That's where our sub should go.


Also I will say you can't really call ESO's limited time sales limited when they pop up like clockwork to the point people have made spreadsheets about it.

Why would you buy any of their DLC with your crowns, when if you are subbed all the time anyway stacking those monthly crowns, you have access to all DLC? You get literally nothing out of those monthly crowns at that point. How much do you play those DLC, not subbed? If you have to be subbed several months to even buy the DLC in the first place, you are paying for them just the same as you would upfront. Just slowly, overtime.

FFXIV has ONE $36 dollar, (which is less than ESO mounts) account-wide, that multiple people can ride. With about 16 or 17 mogstation specific mounts, and the rest being holiday mounts (total 25). In comparison ESO has HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of mounts that you have to have PAID for with crowns alone. Now, granted, I do think there should be an alternative to the Chocobo carriage that can be attained at any time in-game. But please, it's not even equivalent.

They are "limited", there is a reason I included " ". It's artificial* scarcity, as I said, it's a ploy.
