This.

I have a friend who recently fell into the F2P game gamblebox trap and got themselves into a fairly considerable amount of debt spending R/L cash, which they didn't really have, on them.
Whilst I don't want to discuss the complexities of gambling addiction here, I will say I have an extremely low opinion of games with business models which revolve around gambleboxes and I applaud FFXIV for not encouraging them.
