Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

To be fair, regarding content, this is a theme park MMO. Can't expect every piece of content to appeal to your particular tastes. I like Savage; others don't. Yet, it's still wrong for them to say Savage shouldn't be a thing because they personally don't like it. I don't understand the people who aren't "fine" with harder content being a thing just because "I don't like Savage/Ultimate". Sorry, that's not a valid reason, in my opinion.

Sure you can use the "Then don't" argument for issues with purchasing off the cash shop and participating in specific types of content you don't like. But the base arguments are different, imo. Response applies the same way, but the arguments are of a slightly different breed, if that makes sense. Personally, I find it an acceptable response to both: don't like the cash shop? Well, no one is forcing you to buy from it, so don't. Don't like Savage? Well, no one is forcing you to do it, so don't. I don't believe the premium app should be a thing, but it's coming anyways. So what am I going to do? Not download it.

It's the damn whales on these forums that keep saying they will pay for crap on mogstation that is making the prices for outfits really expensive. It's simple glamour that by all means should be in the game. All of these eastern outfits could have been part of quests in Kugane or something... we have an Eastern theme but hey to get actual Eastern outfits you need to pay! My god, paying a sub is already enough and even though these items are optional they are still ridiculously pricey and that is what pisses me off the most. Unless someone gifts me this, I dont think I'm ever going to spend a penny on it.

But that's how much it cost overseas where it was first. It just wouldn't be fair if we got it for free when it was a paid item to begin with over there. I mean techinally we're not even posed to have it really. These were china only items but the US/EU playerbase screamed for them so here there are. With the same price if I'm not mistaken. This is a prime case of people getting what they ask for.

Thats true. But you can still do it and see the flaws (nothing is ever perfect) and discuss them. These feedback posts might then even be helping those that truly enjoy this content because it might give SE ideas to make something better. But if you then have someone coming in and saying: dont do it, then any kind of good feedback will be made useless because if you have a problem with it or dislike it you can just ignore it right? I find this to be a bad argument. You dont need to constantly do a content to see how it functions and how it might be better.

I dont do savage yet I would not write that it should be gone because I understand that this is simply not for me. I would become more vocal if for example 99% of a patch would only be savage because its only a niche content. And I do support those players that do savage and still find faults in it.

There is also a difference when people for example say that they want those items ingame instead of cash shop (thus nobody has to really pay money and it still exist) or to say that it costs too much. A price decrease would hurt nobody..and I am a bit suprised that this count as entitled for some..

CORRECT, they asked for it to be on the cash shop which is a major problem.

How is it a major problem? The players that asked for it to be in MS means that they're willing to pay for it.

ultimately the point of cash shop is to make money so they're going to keep pushing prices to see the limit and people keep buying a ton no matter how expensive they make it so they will keep making it more and more until they find the point where profit falls.

Kind of how capitalism works. Really doesn't matter at all how much people complain on a forum as long as the cash flow keeps increasing

Because being a whale is just that annoying. Not everything has to be served on a silver platter to them by paying.

.....The person paying full price for something is the one that needs something served on a silver platter, but not the person complaining that they don't want to pay for it unless it costs $7 or doesn't exist at all...?

Isn't this a contradiction somehow...I mean....

Am I missing something here? :confused:

Again, just because some people are willing to purchase something that they want and you want at the same time, but can't afford it does not mean you should insult and call them a "whale" out of emotional spite.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything. But do you think they would've put it somewhere else if people asked? I'm generally asking as these were cash shop items when they were made. So I don't know if people asked for these to be somewhere else if it would've happened. Seeing as these were made by the cash shop team overseas. I dunno.. and I guess we'll never know really. But from my understanding these were always meant for the store.

Well, I think if people stopped harping to get it on the cash shop and instead protested that they want this stuff in game en masse we'd probably have a change. Though, maybe that's just going to take a miracle. Sure, they were done by the cash shop team overseas but I do think we should still be able to get them in game even if undyeable or just a similar model.
