Of course they won't mind that, the group that will pay is bringing in more money than the shit being free, but to burn off your other MMO before the FFXIV group that said "FU" might come back? Just sounds dumb to me.
If they wanted to burn FFXI for FFXIV they would have done it around the release of 2.0. This is just Tanaka going on a rampage, destroyer of worlds (first FFXIV, now back to FFXI), somebody dump that under his face instead of "balance" =D
