FFXIV release date, collector's edition, bonus items. Oh my!

Well I would have thought things would get cheaper if anything but that's not what I experienced in FFXI. Everything was so inflated by the time I played that I couldn't afford level 10 armour until several levels afterwards and by that time I'd need new armour etc etc. Granted it was two years after release and not six months but it was extremely annoying, I still put up with worse equipment but when I asked around it seemed that it was all a lot more affordable before

Remember that when things inflate in price, so do many items that you can hunt down and sell.

But as there are less low level players the supply of low level gear drops sharply. Include the fact that a good population of the low levels are alts, and hence have access to more money than a first time player and you can see why the price would go up.

I had a feeling FXIV was going to come out next year instead. I am right and wrong at the same time.

I can not wait for Sept 30th.
