As long as we have casuals, this will never happen! Idc about the emote or a statue. I want the challenge! The best thing SE should do is get rid of all the casuals, and none of this would ever happen again!

Does OP throw a fit every fanfest because he cant afford to go?

I am very selective where I spend my money. It may look like i just spend it frivolously, but I actually save quite a bit with my job, even spending lots on "luxuries". Sure, you could say I'm fortunate, but I also worked hard to get there. I don't bemoan people owning houses IRL, even tho I'm currently incapable of owning one anywhere close to where I work. I have to rent out of a basement in someone elses house. There were several covid scares, because I have no control over the housemates.

At least you can buy the digital stuff online. And when you can afford it.

Medical expenses or not, do not take away from the fact that the omega emotes are a slippery slope.

You really have to ask yourselves who Square Enix wants as their fanbase. Do they want honest players who have been playing for six years? Or do they want toxicity.

Look at the forums. No one can peacefully disagree here with one another. Instead the first page of most topics are usually filled with people derailing a subject in sarcastic snootidom while their friends laugh and gang up on people who simply are voicing their opinions. Oh and you need think pages with the best suggestions are usually popular? MAYBE the race additions threads, but most of the time people hyper focus on negativity and get all riled up.

I really hope so. At first I LOVED the attention that Shadowbringers brought to the game, but lately I'm not so sure. It feels like with a new wave of people, we became the most popular non WOW mmo and lost our values.

I've been here for almost 11 man. There were toxic players then. There will always be toxic players. Buying statues has nothing to do with that, nor does being unable to afford them.

In the hobby? I think your version of collecting and others are vastly different if you think $200 is too much for a collectible.

I disagree, because it's an expensive thing that not everyone will have, and they get to flaunt it in your face. It's not like you can turn other players off.

I mean I bought the Zidane/Kuja statue too and it was $800. I consider that to be expensive in terms of collecting and it was the first time I’ve ever spent that much. Again, hating on people who collect because of financial situations that are nobodies business is childish. It isn’t privileged. If I’m privileged I surely would like to not work 50-60 hour work weeks and sit home doing nothing 24/7.

I mean, every day I go to work I see people with things I will never be able to have, and I can't turn those off. And unlike many industries, I am not able to work from home. I've gone in to work every day since the pandemic started.

You do realize our economy is in shambles over here right? Having a stain in the oval office does a LOT of damage.

You’re changing the subject. As others have said, if you cannot afford a premium due to life circumstances then focus on your needs and go from there. It isn’t the fault of SE or anyone else, nor is it privilege for the ones who had no choice. You realize a lot of people didn’t get a choice? Right? A lot didn’t get to go home, and collect UI which in some states paid more than those working. It’s flagrantly rude to insinuate the things you’ve said. Nobody is saying it’s fair that you’re in your situation.
