mog station needs

More custom character creation effects. "Mog station exclusive hair style/color" or equipable auras. I dunno, I'm kind of bored by alot of the stuff for sale on there.

Well. I think the purpose is to get generally hard things (but reasonable) that don't effect gameplay, easier. If they add exclusive items like that people will complain because, for the perfectionists out there, by having items or hair style exclusive to the mog station then they will need to spend money in addition to their subscription. Right now it is ok because all the gear there was obtainable easily (except for wedding stuff) at one point in the game. The only exception is odin mount, but if u really wanted it and you are lvl 50, it isn't that hard to get it.

Personally I would not feel comfortable for there being a full on cash shop in the game, where you can only get exclusive items from it. Especially for hair styles since it requires you to pay extra to be able to express your creative spirit. If it goes into the mogstation, I would like for it to have been available from the game easily first, like everything else was.

I do agree with this. There should be more character creation or aesthetician cash shop stuff. Might also be a great time to add lightnings hairstyle to the cash shop for those that missed the events. Perhaps make it so we can unlock other races hairstyles and equipment? It would still be possible to have it in game on another race, but unlocking it for your race for a small fee would be nice. Just a thought.

When thinking about new content your first thought is "Boy I wish I could pay more for it !"?

Cause a new hairstyle or two is a hell of a lot of new content!

There's an entire line of minions only available through the mogstation. So stuff like that already exists.

Apparently so. I find it really bizarre. When the shop was first announced there was a thread "Give ideas to SE for the cash shop" and I was like what? Why don't you just ask to be in the game anyway.

I disagree, there should be more character creation or aesthetician things In game.

Well I am not sure if minions can be associated with a player's personal expression in the same way that hair styles do. And the minions available are only the ones that resemble the main characters (except for one, which was a part of a seasonal quest). I am not sure if, lore-wise, it makes sense for you to get them in game.

Here we go...

Only because of threads like this lol


If people want SE to all GW2 or worse kMMO on us, at what point do people start to wonder what the subscription they're paying for, is for? cos I pay it be able to have everything within the game available, even the parts I'm not interested in. (like the tank mounts... I've seen the way this community treats them. Nope.)

The exclusive minions and dyes are already too much imo

Wait we get can't get those dyes from ventures?!!

I actually don't mind supporting SE with extra funds if it means I get something in return such as hairstyles, minions, mounts, whatever, Im all for it.
That being said, I also expect there to be just as healthy of a flow of these kinds of things in game as well. But if my money can help support the creation of items that we would not otherwise get due to lack of resources, I am willing to give up a few dollars here and there.

There are three metallic dyes you can't get in game, the red, blue, and green.

I'm pretty much in the "just add it into the game" camp. I'm aware they will most probably add more cash shop exclusives eventually, but as long as there's not a heavy percentage of them I don't mind there being a handful. Regular updates of exclusives that never get added in game is a pretty slippery slope for a p2p mmo though, but that seems to be what the OP is suggesting and sometimes on these forums it seems like this is what people want, and I have to wonder why.

The cash shop should never have detailed character customization options like hairstyles etc. It should just be added directly through the game in some manners, like the GS pony tail. The 3 dyes are tbh the limit of what I personally find acceptable since it's just dyes, it doesn't limit people from customizing the look of their character model behind an additional paywall.
Minions and mounts in the shop I don't care much for altho I do wish the minions (and I guess the mount) had something more special to them since you are paying MORE real money to get them beyond your sub. The sub is there to sustain the game and provide content (both cosmetic and non-cosmetic), if all the content ends up in the cash shop there's no point of the subscription in the first place.

If anything I'm finding the recent trend of lackluster ingame event items while adding old event items to the mogstation to be a shady practice when events prior mogstore often either had interesting new items, or a mix of new and old items available to them. But at least the christmas event was great.

Also, the last MMO I played allowed you complete customization of your character by using in game money or by using a voucher you could get every 3 days. And it was a B2P MMO. Why can't we have that in a sub MMO?

I just want a levis section. I like raiding, hate the armors give me more glamour. Lol.

And a option to remove the headband.

It's here to stand and will continue to exist because some people don't care as long as they're happy.

Honestly, I would say that the only "new" content the mog station needs is content like the exclusive clothes and gear from events that we can no longer get, (I really want that awesome magitek Archanist grimoire "Grimoire Wing" that can't be obtained any more). I would say maybe give events a two or three month exclusivity period after they've been completed before putting the aesthetic rewards up on the mog station. And certainly as few "exclusives" as possible. I can't stand it when the ONLY way to get something is by buying it with additional money. If it's an event I missed because I joined the community late, that's one thing. If it's something I never had a chance to get through gameplay, that's another thing entirely......

I find it strange how people would pay for hairstyles in cash shop when SE could easily implement it in the game and you pay no extra cost. Anyway, anything related character customization shouldn't be in the cash shop ever. I only allow that in free to play games because they need a way to trick people into buying it lol. Just remember that Odin mount could have easily been apart of the Odin trial but nope too late its in cash shop, look at Odin trial now no one farms it lol.

Currently, SE has been handling the cash shop very well and they don't need to change anything. Old event items get added if you missed it, minions, dyes and maybe mounts, the reason why i say maybe for mounts is because if I see it cant fit anywhere in the game im fine with it.

Hairstyles should be free, which they are in FFXIV.

Agree with op, A LOT more should be added to the station, it is very very lackluster tbh....more items in game as well are needed too. ^^

A more pressing matter though would be to actually have a cart that holds more then 1 order at a time. having to checkout with each different item is really...ancient and backwards.

♥

I want X-2 Rikku's hair.... Make it happen SE!

U lost me at auras. This ain't dbz

The more I read this the more disappointed I get... I thought that the odin mount was obtainable in game... I could have sworn i have seen it... :-(

Pretty much this. I'm honestly disgusted by the number of players that seem to WANT new content in the cash shop instead of added to the game for free...

Game NEEDS less cash shop crap http://i.imgur.com/5orlP2j.jpg

Ask them to make more content in-game instead of pushing it behind a pay-wall.
What's with these thoughts lately lol?
Oh right, nothing else to do until HW.

My only problem with dye's are, people asked for a pure white dye, and a pure black dye...
Only for it to be some rare ass item by playing RNG masters with our retainers. o-o;
If it's just dye....can we get it other places besides RNGing it?
[Correct me if I'm wrong.]

If I could have my way the cash shop would be removed. All we need are services like: Server Transfer, Name Change, and Fantasia. Everything else should be included in your subscription.

isnt really "free", if u are paying a sub :p

I'm just happy my first ever OP thread sparked so much debate. I guess I don't care what people tell me I can do with my money... I already spend it playing this, it shouldn't effect anyone else if I want to pay more for a cool aura glow, exclusive color dyes or hair styles. Just like the Odin Mount for 24$ doesn't do anything but visually change you. Thanks for your input though, seems like I have alot of people who agree with me though.

This. I really wish they'd address this. I've had the worst luck getting Pure White whereas I easily have 10-20 of EVERY other color that I'll never use. If nothing else, it'd be nice if there was a dye exchange merchant so you could trade your undesired color (I'm looking at you Pastel Green...) for something you would actually use.

I don't mind more things in cash shop but I wouldn't do cash shop suggestions.
We definitely need more character customization, ok. But no need to tell them to put it into cash shop immediately. If there are things they want to add normally and people say put it into cash shop, they will do it.

1. Purple metallic dye.

2. Affordable private housing on sale.

3. 20-40 million gil.

4. Fish-Tank / Aquariums (Housing Furnitures)

5. Instant T9 Win item.

and yes im very...VERY serious. lol
