They aren't adding them, but if people really want them...

Might aswell, start selling jobs and character customization there aswell.

Blue Mage: 150 dollars
Chemist: 150 dollars
Dancer: 200 dollars
Real primal summons: 500 dollars

New faces: 75 dollars.
Beards: 40 dollars.
Tattoo: 80 dollars
Long Hairstyles: 250 dollars

I mean they aren't adding them, but if people really want them...

They already are selling hairstyles, no?

Jobs wouldn't fly, tho - For some reason, people throw a big hissy fit if you can gain a temporary advantage that doesn't matter for anything in the long run but don't if you can get a permanent exclusive cosmetic that doesn't matter for anything in the long run either.

So with jobs being permanent, that'd be labeled Pay to Win for sure.

Yep, but they said that long hairstyles is not possible and would take to much work. That is why I wrote long hairstyles. If SE were to sell races via the Mog Station, I am sure that jobs would follow aswell. I dont see how it is Pay to Win, since in PvE you are not competing with others. There might be a Pay to Win issue if those jobs are better then the current jobs in PvP.

Ah!

Well, I wholly expect them to put up Ysayle's hairstyle and outfit at some point. Even if it will clip horrible with everything (including your backside) and look like a fugly drape if you're not standing still.

My, what a fantastic way to destroy their game and ruin their reputation!

If it happen i wouldnt buy it. Same if i love viera and want viera so much there are limits...

Depends.

If Male Viera were similar to female Au Ra (height, build, poses and the likes), then yes, I'd probably go for it. If we just got another hulking monstrous male version of the race with rage faces, overly-detailed, 'Beast,' characteristics, and the sort, then no. I'd never touch the race at all.

The more Viera thread there is, the less we want it. Stop with that.

Would you? Just curious if people would be willing.

I'm not really interested in Viera to be honest. So regardless if they mog stationed it or put it in the game normally it doesn't matter to me.

Everquest 1 and Everquest 2 as well. I think The Elder Scrolls Online too?. SWTOR was kinda in the same boat as the other games. Once being subscription game only to going to a hybrid FTP game with optional subscription. SWTOR followed the SOE model for EQ1 and EQ2, where all the races are open and unlocked to players if they maintain a monthly subscription. If a player was FTP then yes they would have to buy the race unlock.

Not pay to win, but rather paying for something I already payed for with my damn subscription
