Second Subscription Option Please (If this Cash Shop Continues)

At the rate this cash shop is going Square Enix should just introduce a second subscription model where you pay more like ($20) a month, and you fill a contract for a year which allows you to gain all the cash shop items for free when they are introduced in a patch. That way your getting the full game and you save a bit of money while SE is guaranteed to get $240 dollars from us a year. Obviously for dyes and what not this system would still suck but atleast mounts, minions, and etc it would be a great alternative.

That sounds like it'd cost more than the cost to just buy the cash shop things.

it will continue and itll become worse as time goes on. believe me. i saw this on countless mmos in the past. once the makers get how money they could milk out of so called "whale" players there is just nothing stopping em anymore.

Not with the amount of stuff they are releasing on it. By next year you'll have to spend $300+ dollars if you want all that optional content.

That's really unfair to loyal customers, so a second subscription model for us would be a win win for many people. and a 1 year contract is nothing if you love the game.

The amusing thing is that this is what subscriptions used to be in the first place

Slipper slope fallacy. You have no idea what it will inflate to. This is a weak justification on a bad idea.

It's really the fault of the players. Don't buy the mount that you'll prolly get tired of looking at and never summon again. Don't buy ugly metallic dye. Who even thinks that crap looks good? I swear some players...

Not a slippery slope when a trend is being shown.

It's a bit premature (at best) to call a trend off two data points. Two data points is an unbroken line. It indicates virtually nothing.
