I think your last line sums it up
... this is nothing new in gaming, If anything its the current gaming model.
I think of you wanna pay out for a minion or mount, you should be able too.
I'm married with kids and a fulltime job I don't have the time to grind primals all day for a mount.

Only during the first year of ARR.

That they sold old event items in the evnt vendors could be to give people who never played 1.x still a chance to get it
And with the Yukatas last summer event, there is no 1.x seasonal event gear anymore that still need to find a way in a ARR seasonal event

Agreed, if you wanna pay. that's why i'm ok with them selling stuff we can get ingame.
What about people who dont want to? The moment they put exclusive items in the cash shop the sentence changes a bit, but the meaning changes a lot.

"If you wanna pay for a minion or a mount, you should be able to" becomes "If you want that minion or that mount, you have to pay"

Do you have time to farm the gil for housing? If not, perhaps you could buy some.

So the Fantasia costs exactly the same even though now it's only for the character and not for the account anymore? Well, that's not nice... I'm sure people asked for it to ONLY be for the character in hopes they would be cheaper that way...

Other than that I think the prices are pretty high now and we can only hope that the previous event items will stay available for us to rebuy for GIL.
All in all I hope that the items in the cash shop will also be obtainable in the game without paying real money... because for some people vanity and cosmetic items are just as important as beating the game, and a p2p game should always provide the option to obtain EVERYTHING ingame for what they are already paying for.

It's been three patches and still I can't have the Spring Dress because of the stupid price its materials are put at, and who knows when they'll be made easier to get.

I'd prefer hand over five bucks and get it.

I agree. I'd much rather give SE $3 (and see the money go back into development of the game) for a cool piece of vanity gear than to farm gil in game for months just to get the same piece of gear from a crafter who is controlling the MB and attempting to shut out their competitors. (I'm looking at those crafters who send other new crafters /tells and threaten them for trying to break into the market.)

I don't mind them having a shop where people can pay for old seasonal event items, however I do have a problem with them selling unique items in the shop. This isn't a f2P game and I think that anything obtainable in this cash shop should be in the game. That being said I really hope they don't start adding really unique looking glamour sets that are available for cash purchase. It takes away from the game. I also disagree with people who say that primal mounts should be available for purchase. They're supposed to be rare drops from the primal fights. They were originally added to the game to give people incentive to continue helping people out with these fights. Unique looking sets should be available crafters and or come from the raids. I'm really disappointed that slepnir will be available for purchase.

I would just laugh in their face?

Just tell us a little about where the profits will go - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...rd-Development

So many people are concerned Cash Shop is a huge negative for development, dispel that rumor.

Or tell us if all these cash shop items will be available to earn in-game.

Where did it say Cash Shop Exclusive? Is this true? Possibly for Odin's mount, but that could change becoming a drop later on, with the usual 1% drop rate.
