Blizz would be hard pressed to make their mtx as bad as PSO2.

People's issues with MTX is not a convo I want to have though, as people won't agree. My issue the last couple days has just been people dooming over Hearthsteel, and spreading their perceival of it as fact.

Anyway - That's just my own interpretation based upon Blizzard's own claims per the artical they released, the current functionality of the store, and current EU guidelines on mtx.

People being sus, I understand, people not liking mtx, I also understand. But their reasoning expressed tracks IMO.

But what about the currency merely being a means of obfiscating real-world monetary value? Well that would go against EU guidelines on microtransactions. Are we already forgetting earlier in the year with the Horse game? ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Ever notice buying WoW tokens is individual payments, that you can't just select to bulk buy multiple, with each payment taking a while and requiring confirmation? Imagine Blizzard releases a fancy chair that you want multiple of. Going through that purchase for each chair would be tedious.

Lmao.. Wow, what a crashout.

Like how dare Blizzard actually start to treat the Amani with some nuance that has always been clear from the BElf/Amani story, but it always previously getting treated like it was only one side committing wrong.

Sadly seen a few BElf stans act this way.

That due to High Elves/Blood Elves in said factions, that's basically already the case due to the history between them and the Amani.

It is unfortunate that there's so many things with FFXIV that make people feel the need to mod it to fix. But in some ways I feel people got carried away with mods as well, Mare was a terrible idea, security wise.

And it's so often missed, it's largely forgotten. But I will not stand for missing Heel-toes.

Fortunately Blizz remembered it with the Midnight Amani models, even made it clawed.
