Re-adjust the Mog Station Prices, Please

*Please note, that the prices I am user are the USA prices. I do not know how much the prices differ between the rest of the English-speaking countries. D; *


Personally, I don't mind a purely glamour-based cash shop (as long as none of the players profit from it). However, I think most of the items in the Mog Station's Shop are overpriced.

Take the Hatching-Tide/Easter seasonal event items, they are all $3. No one would seriously spend $3 on rings or helmets that look like eggs.

Another example the Reindeer and Snowman suits. You're paying $5 for two items, with one item not even being glamourable, verses the Valentione sets (which, in my opinion, are one of the only items in the shop that are a good price), you get 5 items, all of which you can glamour onto your armor.
Not to mention, the Ghost suits, which are both only 1 item each and can't be glamoured, are also $5!

Most of the equipment in the Mog Station are small, unnoticeable items and are price more then what they are actually worth. At most, they should be a $1 each.

I also think the minions should be cheaper, probably $1-$2 each, instead of $5. Minions are pure fluff items that you can't summon while in a dungeon, trial, or raid, which most of the game is centered around.

Items that I think are priced well:
- The Valentione Sets (five piece set) $5
- The Ten Pots of Metallic Dye for $7.50 (that's $0.75 for 1 pot) (HOWEVER, they need to look into players selling dying services to people. That is technically Pay-to-Win).
- Fantasia $10
- Eternal Bond Gold ($10)

I think everything else is priced too high. :B

Thoughts?

A Sleipnir mount that costs more than my monthly subscription?

PFFTHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I didn't even want to touch on Sleipnir because of how salty people would get over it, especial now that we have flying mounts.
Sleipnir should be, at the most, $5. While Sleipnir can actually serve a purpose, we get better option in the game for free that can fly.
SE really should change his price and give the poor people who bought him something nice (or their money back). >w>

please sell Puff of Darkness in Mogstation, I am willing to pay 50$ for it

No. :D
Please look at what the title of the thread says before post. :D

The most that we can hope for are the occasional/ rare sales.

I remember a few months ago that you could be 5 Fantasias for ~$37-42.

id like puff of darkness to be sellable or tradable in game.

Sleipnir *will* be able to fly in a future update (Kirin first, though). And as for pricing, name one other mount (other than the Coeurl, Fat Chocobo and Griffin) that carry over an entire account. $25 is a fair price for something that you don't have to keep acquiring over and over again.

$10-$15 seems more reasonable than $5 to me, especially if you consider the Fantasia to be worth $10 when it's not actually a "thing" and a completely automated process.

I would be happy with having Canadian Prices on our Mog Station when we live in Canada. Its frustrating to see one price then when I pay i get charged almost half again as much for all the exchange rates, taxes, and whatever else causes the price to go up. I have no problems with how much I am paying, I just want to see it before I pay instead of a surprise afterwards. I mean, c'mon, The servers are even in Canada so why cant we have localized prices on our accounts?

I dont see a problem with the prices, if you want to say a $3 item is too expensive im honestly confused. How is it over priced? Yeah maybe you dont like how the egg rings look(or even the other accessory that are listed) but some do. I for one atully do like the white egg ring.

The mog staion is probly the cheapest cash shops iv seen, and they dont even really add much to it. They add an ocasal minion and the old items from previous event(This i think shouldnt be added or at lest removed after the event is over. Curtly thre always avilable after ther added.) I think all event given items ingame should always be an event only items. If your not ther you miss out and have to wait for the event to return next year, not how it is now were you wait for the event to return and have to buy last events items in the cash shop.
That is my only grip with the cash shop.
To me the prices are fine the way they are.

...You just named three mounts for me, yet you say I can't use them as examples? Additionally, two of your excluded examples can currently fly and we don't have to "look forward to it". :D

Except Fantasia changes character data, while Sleipnir's horn just adds Sleipnir to your mount list.

Just because the prices are the cheapest you've seen, doesn't mean they are priced well and the items are worth said price.

The cash shop is all just shiny glamour.

This may not be the fault of SE. Businesses must charge taxes and other fees for goods sold in foreign countries, this is not limited to SE nor is it limited only to the sale of digital goods.

I have the same issue. The cash shop is sort of lackluster, in my opinion. I'm not saying I prefer items be in the cash shop rather than being obtained in-game, but the shop seems underutilized. If it's going to exist it might as well have lots of nice things to buy.

As for prices themselves, it is what it is. None of it is required by any means, and it is all a optional content. Each player can decide for themselves whether the cost is worthwhile for them, but nothing is "overpriced" because nothing has a set value.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at the prices after coming from WoW, there the mini pets are $10 each with an occasional sale to drop one down to $5. I've only bought one mini pet from the shop which was an event one I missed while playing, but if another mount comes out I'll probably get it.

Nothing wrong with the prices. If you don't feel they are "worth" what they cost, then don't buy them.

The fact that people DO buy them at their current prices means that they are "worth" at least as much as they are charging now. The price of any product is always based on what the buyer is willing to pay. If nobody was buying them, they would lower the prices. Since they aren't lowering prices, then that means people are buying them... thus the prices are fine.

if they lower the prices people who bought items recently will complain.

if they lower the prices and introduce an offer where "if you bought an item between dd/mm and dxdx/mxmx you get a refund or discount or whatever" people who dont make the cutoff will complain.

if they do anything related to the cash shop people will complain.

unrelated: i think the dye buckets should be infinite use. bye.

Square will charge as much as people are willing to pay

Same here. The one thing I do want is the Valentine set. But I only want that for the shoes/striped socks. I don't really want to drop the money for the whole set when I know I'll only wear one piece out of the 5. And even then only for a possible glamour.

Drop the prices to 0 and add this content to the game we spend money on all ready.
