Talk:Attend in style (2 FATE)/@comment-222.84.32.64-20130219090623/@comment-6042046-20130717175422

If you give FBG polite criticism, I'm sure they'll read and consider it. You can post your views and ideas on improving the Exceptional Friendship subscription or any other fate-locked content in the feedback forum. (Click the blue "feedback" button on the left side of the game screen to get there.)

If you don't choose to spend Fate on this option, you can still progress and complete "an Intimate of Devils" story. The vast majority of Fallen London is free content; a small portion of it is paid content accessed with Fate/Nex, stuff which may be fun but can easily be ignored by the playerbase. The game also rewards players with bits of free Fate here and there as they progress. By the time someone's completed the low and mid-level storylines, they'll have amassed 6-10 Fate (and I haven't even counted the Fate offered when a player fills in the short in-game surveys).

Player purchase of Fate/Nex is a main source of income for the people who work at FBG, so posting fate-locked narratives here won't happen because 1) it'd negatively impact their ability to put food on their tables and 2) it'd be rather rude since FBG has asked us not to publish their paid stories (only because of #1). Oh, and illegal. That, too. Can't forget that.
