Vanity items is what the cash shop should be for. That's how they make money by offering exclusive items and I hope they do more things like this and don't listen to the "wah wah I can't have this unless I pay real money!" You don't have to have every item ever made. There is nothing entitling you to have everything for free either when it's completely optional like vanity items such as character costumes and furniture.
New furniture only accessible via Mogstation :(

They make money from our $15 a month subscription costs and the highway robbery cost of having to hire 3+ additional retainers every month to store all the crap we get in game. Cash shop is just double dipping from stupid people.

Can't wait to see what we will be getting in cash shop next year.
EXP boost potion perhaps? Or maybe instant max level coupon?
The slippery slope is REAL. -
04-28-2016, 11:17 PMLaeruneMinifilia"s gear is gender specific aswell and I dont like it. But this is how SE has decided they will release their outfits. I wonder if Aymeric outfit + hairstyle.. will it be male or unisex? If its not male exclusive, then we know that the favouritism is very real.Quote:

Honestly, I was under the impression that SE would never add furniture to the cash shop due to the fact that furniture has a tendency to explode should anything ever happen to your house.
That said, I don't feel that glowy re-skins are worth real money. On the other hand, if they created wholly new furniture that was cash shop exclusive, that would be bad for another reason altogether. -

The only time you can get an advantage over other players through it, the others benefit more than you, because you're helping others grind tomes you no longer need with the stuff you got. And even that only temporarily. Otherwise, it's at best a status symbol nobody cares about. -

I remember seeing one of the Moderators in the German forums say that Yoshi P didn't want to add too many items into the cash shop unless there was a high demand for them (siting the Lightning's Return gear as an example) in their version of the Korean-and-Chinese-Exclusive-Items thread.
I just want to know if there was a demand for these kinds of items or was it just randomly decided on adding them... σ 3 σ -
04-29-2016, 04:32 AMMilesSaintboroguhAfter almost a year of two of the cash shop, I think this is one of the few things they stayed true to their word.Quote:
