Karen behaviour tbh. It's kinda sad cringe.

Defending MTX in a sub based game that also has a 2 yearly upfront buy in in place of actual content is the real sad cringe here

Emotes can be considered content to some players since it allows them to express themselves better than you do with just base game stuff. If anything, I wouldn’t even mind if we got 1 free Emote/mo or every 2 for subscribing, considering how high quality they make them - it’d be better than this complete paywall crap like with the fried egg.

Why are people karens for not wanting a cash shop in a game you pay monthly and have to buy expansions every 2 years. The things we are getting in the cash shop should be added in game from various content but we have people who willingly buy and defend a cash shop in a subscription based mmo. Cash shops should only exist in free to play mmo games since those games rely on it to survive wow and ff14 doesn't need a cash shop to survive.

I think adding items onto the cash shop is fine but with how little they've been drip-feeding cosmetic items to us in-game (looking at things like the decline in seasonal events), and the frequency they've been adding cosmetics to the MogStation recently doesn't look good. (・ε・`*) …
Since 7.1's launched we've had 14 unique items/bundles added to the Mogstation: 5 outfit bundles, 3 hairstyles, 1 emote, 2 outdoor furnishings, 1 indoor furnishing, 1 weapon bundle, and 1 solo weapon.
I think the fact that big patches are now 4-5 months is what's exasperating the problem. ( ´･ω･)…｡oо○

What happened to the supposed increased rewards we are supposed to get in dawntrails content. All I see is more content put on cash shop at a faster rate then ever before with hardly any long term grinds in game and not much increase in rewards from content. We are stuck with longer and longer patch cycles with nothing to contain players during patches and a cash shop getting more than ever. So we should just accept cash shop getting more and more at an increased rate while we wait 8 months to a year to get content to do in game that will keep players in game longer.
