Reasonable? Big pass from me chief. Grinding Gear Games isn't some indie studio that needs every penny anymore, they just used the inertia to get people used to dropping 300$ on a game

$300? I've met people that buy the highest supporter pack tier every year plus the highest supporter pack from the seasons. That can add up to over $1k/year.

I think at this point I probably have more than $300 in MTX too, but I paid much more than that to FFXIV sub since 2014.

I haven't played much since before Ascendancy Classes were added to the game, so I'm well out of the loop (although I do keep up with some of the news), so maybe I'm still emotionally attached to the studio I started following in alpha.

That said, I don't really have a problem with their business model. They need to get paid, and they don't sell game-breaking MTX, beyond needing a map tab, a currency tab, and a premium quad tab. I don't regret the money I spent on supporter packs; I got over a thousand hours out of the game.
