It's so Awesome to See All the Cool Stuff Are Now in Cashshop.

It does affect everyone.
It's called pushing the envelope.

Skyrim horse armour says hello. lol What's the arbitrary line we need to cross so you feel we can complain about it? £100? £1000? Go educate yourself, please.

Genuinely better content here than on Netflix, Prime, etc.,

Honestly, I expect our next expansion, you know the one where we are going to a whole new continent and it's supposed to be all new story that leaves behind the events of ARR and the following expansions, and we end up with recolors of previous armors for drops while mogshop gets a set of new glams.

That's.......that's just greedy.

Edit: in reference to the turntable. a $400 upcharge for stickers isn't worth it.

My issue isn't the cash shop. My issue is FFXIV and its lacking content.
Seasonal events are lackluster. A furniture and an orchestrion scroll/minion? No, thanks.
Jet Black or Pure White dyes are locked behind double RNG venture boxes. You either pay twice as much gil or buy that very convenient bundle from the cash shop.
Odd enough, it's easy to reuse assets every damn expansion, but it's difficult to add recolored cash shop mounts as ingame rewards.
Why do we not get more achievement rewards?

I dont mind buying one or 2 things from the cash shop. It's not a bad thing to support a company, if they do things right. But it's also not wrong to call out their shabby tactics. But hey, don't you want to buy these great, new virtual goodies, while we're having a limited anniversary sale?
10 years in and SE still can't afford to gift 1 more free retainer for everyone, ffs.

I don't mind a cash shop, especially when everything contained is just glamour. Reselling old event stuff and KR/CN exclusive stuff is fine.

However, I DO mind the fact they released like 5 things back to back within like a month. One of which absolutely positively 100% should have been in the game and fit thematically (Shadowkeeper as the BLU mount). Shadowkeeper in the cash shop right as BLU Eden released with NO REWARD was easily the scummiest thing they have ever done.

I don’t really agree that the coolest stuff is in the cash shop. Yes some cash shop stuff is cool, but the absolute coolest weapons/armor/mounts are still from ingame achievements. This is something the game actually strikes a nice balance on imo, as usually the cash shop stuff is more gimmicky or themed items. I will say that the best emotes come from the shop though but eh

Assuming the second game is as good as the first, I got two amazing games for about half of the full price of the new mount. I can't see how anyone finds that price tag justifiable.

I have 350 hours in Subnautica. Amazing game. Below Zero is...good, but not my thing, unfortunately. I think it really would have made a better DLC. I absolutely agree with you on the price, though. You can get AAA titles on Steam for that amount of money when they go on sale. I grabbed Horizon: Zero Dawn and it's easily one of the best games I have ever played. I also got Baldur's Gate 3 for like 30 Euro when it was newly in EA. That game is going to be 200 hours per playthrough if you want to do every quest. Compared to stuff like this, a stupid two seater bike really isn't worth it.
