A great deal of people, including myself, use ffxi info websites without ever contributing a cent to the people that run them (although at one time, I had premium on alla XD)
People use sites like somepage and KI despite gilbuying ads that pop up.
Although... if BG goes through with its promise of making a BGwiki, I think I'll use that instead of the current one. No money out of my pocket, certainly, in either case. People will remain greedy and dishonest,and I doubt it will change the world on a grand scale if Taj's antics prove to be the downfall of ffxiwiki.
Thank you for pointing this out. Especially since it is BG we are talking about. I'd rather have ffxiclopedia in the hands of these deviant @#%^s than anyone who runs BG or is affiliated with them.
While they were a bit greedy and underhanded in the transfer process and donations, it is still nothing compared to the overwhelming elitist, presumptuous, unprofessional, and overall pompous attitudes stemming from the BG administrators much less their followers. You are joking yourself if you think the avarice displayed by FFXcylopedia's administrative/operations team is something that the BG administrative/operations team would never show or attempt. It would be the same thing...just probably amplified to the extent of being much worse than this scandal and Allakazham's IGE scandal combined.
You are also correct in stating people take information sites like this one, somepage, and FFXIcylopedia for granite. If they didn't exist you would be stuck buying the lovely 2004 Brady guide and following their instructions for everything.
