    No, I'm comparing it to a meal that functions perfectly fine. The only thing the water is being compared to is ACP, keep up please.

    $12.95

    An additional $9.99 if you want a window seat.

    I'm not sure this analogy is going to work, I think we will have to wait and see if you are able to cancel it or not.

He gave you a perfectly accurate analogy and you tried to twist it to benefit you. No sir.
    I woulda rather had my original analogy before it got twisted to fit his scenario, where you just end up paying for the water or don't get a drink at all.

    No one serves the obligatory free water with a meal by pouring it on a table and charging you if you want a glass for it to land in. This makes no sense. If you're trying to compare it to how Square-Enix implemented new content, you're assuming any currently existing FFXI content (glass) should be free with your FFXI meal no matter what, and it's absurd to charge anyone for anything extra.

    You're living in a dream. By this outlook, I am assuming you don't pay for your own cellphone/cable/internet/other various real-life ammenities.

    I went to IHOP once. The bitch came and put a pot of coffee on my table and gave me the menus and asked me if I wanted any coffee. The fucking pot of coffee was locked. Locked until you pay for it, just coffee in your face. I don't know how this fits in with the analogies but I didn't ever go back to IHOP.

    I shouldn't have brought the glass thing in, that was wrong, I should have restated my original statement for the idiot that couldn't read it correctly.

    It isn't wrong to charge for extra things. It's wrong to charge for water.

    Well, it's not $10. How much was the Talisman again? I think we're up to $60, not including the two expansions coming later this year.

    I didn't buy it either. But I'm sure the ones that did, bought it for a shitty ingame item that would have been included in an update or quest a year ago. That's why I mentioned it. It's all optional if you don't mind missing out on new items that we normally would have gotten.

    Is there like a place where I can learn to ignore posts as well as half the posters in this thread? I have a serious problem where when I read things, I see all the words.

    Don't think anyone is mad. Just disappointed/let down. If we're gonna pay for 1/3rd an expansion, we want that out of it. If it's gonna be some minor thing that's less than a normal update, why not just have it free as part of a normal update?
