You are as well. Are you calling yourself a liar? Ah, hypocrisy...
That's not for you to decide.on point 1, basically dude if somebody can't afford 10$ a month they have no business playing ANY game. My utilities alone are probably over 500 a month, at least 200 a week on food, if people are so strapped for cash they can't afford 10 bucks they shouldn't be playing any game at all.
You're not in the position to decide how other people manage their money.To even play this game at launch you needed a 1k+ PC 10 bucks is laughable
[QUITE]I for one refuse to pay for other people to play[/QUOTE]
That's great, because no one forces you to.
Nope. This is false. You'd be making exactly as much. Having some other people allegedly (because it's not a given) make more money than you doesn't reduce your earnings in any way.on point 2, in this system people who aren't using normal methods are making the most money. Playtime would be highly valuable, people who sell it would be richer than the people making money through normal methods. Sure I would still have my methods but they wouldn't make as much anymore.
What you're describing is simple, plain envy.
So you're assuming that a large number of people (because just a few wouldn't even budge the economy, you need big numbers to move it) will go as far as buying several accounts and getting several credit cards to game the system? By that logic you can easily assume that people can hire someone to craft for them 24/7 making them millions of gils without moving a finger.And there is no way to limit it, if they limit it by account then people will just buy more accounts. If they limit it by credit cards people will just use different cards.
So you've seen them, but they don't exist? Interesting concept.And RMT has been basically nonexistant in this game... I believe you were the one earlier that said the worst thing about RMT is that they get in the way of content or cause other people to have a less enjoyable experience...
that doesn't happen in this game, i've only seen them doing leves.
They do leves because that allows them to *CREATE* gil from nothing. Every multiboxed account that they use multiplies that money they create.
That's all gil that get created by the system and injected into the market, causing inflation. And the market in FFXIV Is *horribly* inflated.
Those groups of lalafells that look the same and have weird names that you see scampering around doing guildleves are the FFXIV equivalent of a state printing too much money and reducing the value of money itself in the process.
It affects *everyone*, even if you just see them while doing guildleves.
