Not really robbery when you think about other games. In the other MMOs each character can only have one or two jobs, while in FF you can play all of those available. In XI people some bought for an extra character, but some bought for storage; though I don't know the percentage breakdown. So in XIV they give you what it sounds to me like a free mule (retainer) with your main character. Now I figured because this was a bump up from XI that we would at least be paying $15-16/month, but they kept it the same $12.99. The only option available for them to create more revenue was to up the cost of those who wanted the luxury of having a secondary character. Personally I never really got why someone would want an alt though.
PS. don't nit-pick: I know there is a 4cent diff b/t the FFXI v FFXIV sub (negligible).
