SQ Ruined Christmas!

[LianaThorne]

Just like to remind everyone asking "Why did SE choose this way" that this is the same company who has their systems being held together by bandaids and prayer. Do you really think they had things set up behind the scenes and ready to go in the event this happened? No. I would put a large amount of money on that they didn't. This was probably a combination of trying to get something together in a rush (because they probably didn't even start until they got official notice of the vast amount of chargebacks going on) while also having their payment processor breathing down their neck the entire time to get things fixed immediately.

I get it, some are disappointed because they can't do a specific event for their FC now (which we don't even know how long this ban on the items is going to last) but people not being used as a money funnel for RMT purchases is more important. I'm sorry if that offends you but there's a bigger picture here that needs to be looked at and put as a priority. For all we know they could be working on a more solid system now that they've given themselves some breathing room and we could hear something about it in the next coming weeks.

The thing they did was the best thing, before that people bought tonnes of mogstation items when they where on sale and resold them to RMT companies.

Gotta love scorched earth tactics.

Gotta love people not getting how payment systems work

Gotta love how young and inexperienced you are pretending that you know what you are reading tiger.

Indeed!

My hope is that if this was some form of urgent action, and with the pressure off a little, they can get handle on it and can do it properly later.

I am hopeful that this is just "the sky is falling", and by Christmas it's all fixed. And honestly, for me, I don't mind if friendlist restrictions, but do want unlock of everything.


Also, just to nobody in particular, the thought of SE as the grinch made me giggle.

(for humour on those poster's over-reaction and with all respect to Yoshi)

Given that it's a revenue stream it does indeed make sense to assume this will be reversed eventually, and this story will end with:

"And what happened next, well, down in Limsa they say,
That Square's small heart grew three sizes that day...."

I can't speak for everyone but from a personal standpoint the power of prayer has got me out of some bad jams, I've seen miracles before my very eyes from the power of my prayer and others prayers.

It's just people think Jesus to be some kind of magical genie that grants wishes, that's not how prayer nor God works, I'm glad not all my prayers were answered, looking back now I can see the flaws on some of them and I know God could to.

On Topic though, I agree it sucks we can't gift mounts anymore, I've seen a few fc contests with mounts qa the prizes and holiday parties like the Christmas or birthday ones.

I'm glad we can still gift fantasias though.

I'm not gonna comment on religious topics for obvious reasons.

And how does this make you feel?

Sorry was busy asides the whole doing things irl, and work, and then games so didn't notice the response.
Since you only want emotion.
and aren't talking about anything factual, or to spike conversation or thought processes.

If related to the topic.
Happy.
Cause it means SE will take the measures necessary for the game. even if it means a mild inconvenience in the short while.

Because this is an underrepresented view on the forums, I'll say that I am completely fine with this change and have no complaints.
