Are you serious? Yes, SE should be looking at Blizzard's might standards! Recycled events year in and year out with the occasional new reward every few years, RNG on mounts that drop in the event, meaning if you don't get it you have to try again next year (people have been trying for several years now), every cool new mount is on the cash shop without exception. smhQuote:

10-07-2015, 07:59 AMAyerinnlol... are you seriously defending the item shop for a P2P MMO? I'm not sure how creating a couple of quests that take, what, an hour? tops? that suddenly justifies selling old event items for $$$ over allowing you to purchase them in game with event currency or even as RNG drops during the event? Please. I like SE and I enjoy FF14 - but the way they handle previous event items is not something I like. All I know is...if the tradeable eastern cherry trees show up in the shop for $$$ next year I think more people than just me will start flipping tables.Quote:

Those minions and that mount in the cash shop could have been rewards for idk, playing the game? Not sure about everyone else, but I for one chose a P2P model so i wouldn't get charged for such things. Each person that spends money in the cashshop is just encouraging such behavior. :mad:Quote:

Was really looking forward to getting that barding since I wasn't playing around this time last year. I imagine the chances are pretty slim that we'll be able to "earn" the barding since they just put it up in the store for 7 dollars...

10-07-2015, 03:27 PMBreathlessTaoWhat does the date have to do with the fact that they (could) put the old items in the cash shop before even posting info about the current event? They could have done that first and take care of the cash shop after. Or do both at the same time, maybe. Look at how Moonfire Faire was handled. Even if it was less than a week before its start, info about it was posted on the 5th, and a few of last year's items made it to the cash shop on the 6th (or that's when the post was made at least); with the majority of the items landing there on September 8, one day after both the Faire and Rising actually concluded. Now it's cash shop, not only days, but weeks before the event (or probably event info, even). Quite a significant shift, either way.Quote:

10-07-2015, 03:30 PMBelhiThis is miss informed. Content developed for the cash shop is developed with the assumption that it will provide a return on investment. The cost of resources spent on the content are factored into its projected profits. Simply put, cash shop items generally would never have been developed in the first place without the cash shop as SE wouldn't have been spending the resources on them.Quote:

All those things people keep wanting from SE that require resources need to be funded from somewhere. The cash shop opens a revenue source that doesn't require changes to subscription costs.
Now there is an argument to saying event items shouldn't be included. That's fine. That ties into a somewhat different issue about how such items should be available and wether there should be exclusive events at all. After all offering old stuff at new events won't really do much for veteran players who already have the items and they generally are the ones most short on things to do. Additionally there are many players who like having some exclusiveness to the items they have. They can argue that they did pay for those items by being subbed when the event was on. It was their sub fees that payed for the development of those items.
I'm not arguing one way or the other about the event items as it makes little difference to me. I'm merely pointing out an alternate argument. Likewise, I wouldn't argue that cash shops are always ok and I do understand concerns about the event items being in the cash shops. However I would say that Cash Shops aren't by their nature in a P2P game a bad thing as long as they are handled correctly and that the reason that event items were added was because people asked for a way to get them even if it meant them being in the Cash Shop. There were posts on this very forum to that effect. -
10-07-2015, 09:55 PMBunnyChainThe same happened last Summer event. Hoping for it to repeat.Quote:

10-09-2015, 02:26 AMNoxiferActually, all of last year's items made it to the cash shop before the event. The old items still available during the event, and ending up in the cash shop after its conclusion, were the items from Moonfire Faires of 2013 and earlier.Quote:

Yes, they probably will be unisex. Now, the question is... will they still be thigh-high boots and elbow-length gloves for both men and women, or will that be the case only for one gender? As with the event coatee, it's entirely possible they will just be one item with different appearances depending on the gender of the character equipping them. For comparison, see the Eerie Tights -- tights for the men, a skirt and thigh high stockings for the women.Quote:

A bunch of people want to know where the NPC is. Give me a minute to get online and I'll look for you all.
EDIT: Ok found her. She is an NPC, elezen I think, for the GATE "A Skin Change We Can Believe In". So she is not there 24/7, just during the GATE. -
10-09-2015, 03:40 AMGilraenAh, XIV's "Discerning Eye". Makes sense, the Halloween event is monsters masquerading as people after all.Quote:
