So, Mog station here we are

SE never ceases to amaze me with their crappy outfits, the thing is totally horrible, well, the robe is.


I like the wings, despite being too tiny to even look good, any smaller and they'd be ridiculous, but unfortunately they are attached to that nasty robe which steals away all the beauty from my character.


Head piece is good, pants are nice, boots are nothing special, the robe is forgettable!.

Though selling in game items for real money is a F2P or "freemium" tactic, selling inventory space is more so, which they also do.

I swear, SSDD...

Ok. Time to be ornery.

Congrats, you predicted the obvious. "Omg! I predicted SE is gonna make and put more stuff on the mogstation! Behold I was proven right!" They were always gonna add more items to it, so what is your point here? That they would continue to do this? Gee. Quite the prediction, Nostradamus.

Yeah, people are insulting you because youre still acting entitled and righteous, and continuing to complain about something that is frankly a non issue. You dont want to buy it, then dont buy it. You dont like SEs practices, then go play an MMO or game that fits your principles. That simple. But rather than have principles, its come onto the forum and start stupid non issues cause "Im just voicing my opinion!"

Well guess what, we had a thread for that.

45 glorious pages worth of it...

So heres my prediction, if this thread does continue, itll be the same arguments there repeated ad nauseam here. Youll have the take away that your position is justified and that SE is evil and greedy, people who are opposed to your view will go buy the mogstation stuff and enjoy it if they want it, and the average normie wont care either way and continue playing the game at large, buying stuff off the Mogstation if they want it, or shrugging their shoulders if they dont.

I mean, I really, really don't get it, the outfit is basically the price of a month sub oO

I dont feel "forced" to buy anything here - not the game, not the expansions, not this outfit nor anything else on the mogstation. Who is forcing you to buy the game? You might want to cut ties with that person, doesnt sound healthy being forced to buy something like this...

...and since I'm not feeling forced to do anything here, I dont mind the mogstation to much - its more options, that would not exist without the mogstation in the first play (this cant be stressed enough!), that I can pick and choose from if I want to. I like having more general options and I'm not forced to use any of them. And it might be the same price as a monthly sub, but I've also spent more money on things that werent necessary and brought me less joy in the end (looking at several 80€+ dresses I bought for myself and never wore...) than a 13E outfit on the mogstation.

Apparently many of you have forgot where the Mogstation funds go. Yes, some of it goes to SE's bottom line as they are in the business of making money but... BUT.... the NA and EU Data Centers were paid for using Mogstation funds.

The money does come back to us, just not in the ways you might think of.

I wonder if the OP can name a single, legitimate, active, current MMORPG that doesn't have a cash shop. F2P, B2P, or Sub...they ALL have one.

This is the norm in this genre, as of SEVERAL years ago now. Typically if you don't like how a business operates, you take your money elsewhere.

There is no requirement to purchase the outfit to continue playing the game. All this sounds like to me is that you want it, but you don't want to spend money on it. That is your choice.

Because I don't have to buy it - and if I really really want it then I know there's going to eventually be a sale that'll discount it to a more reasonable price later down the road. Having played actually P2W games and suffering through the first year of SWTOR's 'F2P, just kidding you need to pay for any manner of utility because we hate you for not supporting us when we were P2P' a non-stated outfit isn't something I'm ultimately concerned with. If SE started putting stats back on the outfits and or started carving out access to the mail or other conveniences then I'd be upset. When it's just glamour, and often not ever good glamour at that, I'm pretty ambivalent.

Apparently it dyes poorly, and the wings ruin it for me, just like another set on the mog station.

Sounds like a "lottery helps education" kind of thing.

Yeah...its that answer again. But it hold true. If you don't want it, don't buy it.

If it wasnt for the wings, I would buy it. No issue at all. It doesnt drop in game, so what.
