I thought they didn't want to implement an emote like this...

/playdead

Something that can easily be exploited as sexual innuendo. I thought they gave this reason, or something to the effect, when asked if we could use /doze in public way back in like 2.0.

Why now are we able to? Why isn't this just linked to /doze if they're finally willing to let us lay on the ground in public? Will doze be able to be used freely now?

Maybe they didn't want to implement it for free.

I wish they wouldn't give us BS excuses when the real answer to everything is "we'll implement it if you pay us".

I like how everyone assumes the marketing department and the dev team are on the same page. Maybe the devs didn't want to, but the group responsible for mog station items gave it the green light. IIRC Yoshi said they operate independently of the main content development teams anyway.

It's called supply and demand.

There's enough of a demand to supply it, especially for money. As evident by all the people buying it (including me in a few weeks/months) lol

We don't want to do this... buuuut for $7 per character....

They need money and they know the sheep will buy it. Keep supporting it guys, terrible price for terrible stuff, only 7$, half a sub.

I doubt I'm allowed to post it, but let's just say... the lalafell pose was a bad choice if they didn't want people being lewd, xD

Have you all forgot how server issues and data load and technical issues and all the other reasons named to not increase inventory can easily be circumvented for 1$ a month?

Damn, and here i thought the monthly subs was to cover these kind of issue, not the extra from mogstation.

You must be one of them that bought a mog mount on all their alts.

Yeah it's amazing how fast increasing the sub fee makes their insurmountable technical problems go away. Almost like they're just lying to us and assuming we're too stupid to notice.

"We can't add new retainers, the servers would explode, too much data being handled, etc etc, but if you pay me $2 a month per retainer we might be able to do something about it."

"But SE, people are able to gain millions of gil from those 6 extra ventures per hour and more from having a bigger limit of items listings in the marketboard, isn't that the same as RMT?"

*crickets*

That's wrong though. That falls more in the P2W category, not RMT. While technically it is real money trading, you're 'trading' your money to SE, not a third party company/person gaining profit from someone else's product, which is the only reason RMT is illegal.

Then why don't they allow selling CS items to other players in exchange for gils via the gift option ?
In the end, SE gets the real money not a third person/company

You know Alimdia, RMT is not RMT as long as it profits SE and not the players :D

Technically correct = the best kind of correct.

RMT makes no distinction between bot-farmed or SE-endorsed, people made this very clear when the topic came up regarding the implementation of sub tokens.

Because it's not a safe trade. Scams may happen, and SE can't control that. People always abuse it in many games (I personally happened to experience it) and SE would get a shitstorm of support tickets.

I'm against RMT, but please don't just quote what you like to read instead of the whole statement. The only reason RMT is illegal in every game (or anything really) is because someone is making profit from their product. Pretty much just like pirating movies. It does make a distinction when SE is making money from its own product like selling in-game 'merchandise', they're not profiting from enyone elses work and you can't compare it like you did. Morally incorrect? up to one's opinion, but it's not the same.
And I said technically, because technically and literally RMT stands for Real Money Trading, which is the act involving you giving real money cash to someone, while in online communities it stands for selling virtual items obtained in a product you don't own for real life cash.

I would love to ask this at the next Live Letter. I would love to know why doze couldn't work but this suddenly can, and why doze hasn't been implemented in the same way as play dead.

I have respect for SE, but between this and the Proto Ultima mess, it makes me feel like a can't trust their word a whole lot anymore

Your question will be skipped over for some variation of "When can we have [X cool thing] on the Mog Station?"
