Indeed, the real issue is not $E selling things (in general) for stupid price but people wilingly buying them.

I think I'll pass and get two real snowcones with my $5.00. :(

Please stop buying these kinds of items everyone. It's the only way that SE will stop releasing them and exploiting the Mog Station. They only do it because they can get away with it and people will buy it anyways.

I'm sayin tho

These snowcones seem like the kind of thing that could be bought with achievement certificates if you really, really wanted them.

So, assuming you could even get the whales to stop buying them, that wouldn't make them available in-game. Square Enix would just stop making them available full stop. We'd get them for the event and if we missed the event tough luck, never being made available again. Same for the mog station exclusive outfits and stuff that was never made available in-game. If they weren't released there, we just wouldn't get them period.

Given I haven't had any of them because I don't care for the consumables from these events, even when I could get them from the event, I don't think that's my issue here. But for those that want them, there should be an option. Square Enix have told them what their option is, up to people what they do with it. There's obviously a market for it, because they keep putting more stuff on the mog station. Indeed, some of the outfits I've bought off the mog station. But I also know if they hadn't put them on the mog station, we wouldn't have got them at all. This is the reality of gaming these days. Cash shops are here to stay.
