The price of admission is your sub. Snacks and rides are extra. They are optional, you don't have to buy them. They are of course overpriced, and you may feel its "not the same without" and to a point you're right. But they call XIV an amusment park after all, this is the standard practice of movie theaters, amusment parks and most forms of social entertainment going back to at least the 1940s. I don't see a few complaints and demands for "free stuff" changing the STO here.

Complaining about the price or the fact it's bound only to one character is fine, but people tossing around the argument that nothing should to be added to the cash shop at this point is just a waste of time. It's not going anywhere and they're not going to stop.
Always been fond of using this argument in these threads. Also Golf courses with country club membership and greens fees and dining at said country club.Quote:

We know the reasons
What we need to do is to actually move on from explaining the reasons why. -
05-30-2017, 11:03 PMGhastlyAgree 100% on both things. It's why on the last page I asked the question. Would people be ok with $18/$20 monthly subscription so that no more mogstation glamour is added?Quote:

The outfit has some nice pieces, but the stretch looks exactly like the male miqo'te stretch emote from the picture.

Can't say I'm surprised - it's consistent with how they've handled cosmetic items that are first available in either the Korean or Chinese versions of the game.

There are probably people who don't care about the cash shop or just buy things if they like it but not all the time or just ignore it and would rather not have their sub increase overall by 20-33%. Not to mention it being bad PR/PR suicide as competitor subs would still be $15.Quote:

Paying an increased sub just for the sake of having access to things I don't want is not worth it to me.
As an option?
What might be interesting is a third tier of subscription (additional retainer fees not withstanding) where you can choose to pay extra to get everything added to the mogstation while you're maintaining the increased sub for free. (I was going to say an increased sub that includes access to everything on the mogstation but that would come with the issue of people subbing to it for a month to get everything then drop to a cheaper sub until something new they want gets added.)
Or outright mogstation seasonpasses. For whatever reason people seem to be fond of buying those in other games.
