How will the SE defence force defend this?

Just saved you $12

Maybe Alphinud's strapped for cash? Funding the Grand Companies ain't cheap!

The only defense is that the outfit isn't locked to a Role class, but that defense is only because the glamour system isn't great.

Nobody forces you to buy it. Problem solved.

People are gonna buy it and defent it as a great deal lol. At this point I'm over the cash shop, let the whales pay 12€ for a recolor or 300€ for an emote, whatever.

So it's just like the ARR Scion sets, the Heavens' Ward sets and weapons, and probably more that I'm forgetting right now.

Oh look. Another clone by the same person posting random crap. He’s a fisher because he’s fishing on the forums.

nothing to even defend really since its not needed to play the game. nothing in the cash shop is. period.

who are you to tell people how to waste their money? dont you waste money on all your different accounts?

Alphinaud is not good with money.

It's optional. You don't like, you don't buy. Where is this £300 emote though, can't see that on the store. I bought the statue and it looks amazing, it's massive too.

Incoming hotfix to remove those from the game/make them undyeable/replace their models with something else.

This only serves to enforce the necessity of unrestricted armor glamour rules.

A scouting (and aiming too iirc) sets available for everyone, and yet the originals are not All Class glams.

Nobody also forces whales to get predated upon by certain publisher practices. All good as long as it's consensual amaright?

You want a rational reason for glamour restrictions?
Well, the cash shop is an example of one: SE profits from selling unrestricted glams.
Are you against SE making a profit?

Are you a shareholder for SE or something?

SE are relying upon suckers to make them more profitable.

Their online store has some of the most ridiculous pricing I've ever seen in my life.

You need to get out more, then: a limited edition Hermes “So Black” handbag made of matte niloticus crocodile 30 with PVD hardware fetched over $200,000 at auction in 2019.

And SE doesn't even hold a candle to some other online games: https://gamerant.com/most-expensive-...ems-ever-sold/ has a list of expensive MMO items sold for real money, like a $2500 spaceship in Star Citizen, a $61,000 rifle skin for Counter-Strike: Global Offiensive, and a asteroid in Entropia Universe that a player bought for $10,000 and later sold to another player for $635,000.

Some people just have way more money than they need.

Why would these be listed in both dollars and gil?
Immersion ruined.

Just give up bro. Gamers are a lost cause. Even when you boycott a trashy cashgrab, they'll buy 4 copies for every 1 you boycott. MMO fans are some of the most whipped of the bunch. FF14 commits so many sins that other MMOs get lambasted for, but they aren't outright farting in our faces like pearl abyss or activision so people are like "w-we eatin' good!"
It's terrible. Just enjoy what you like and try to block out the sound of the entire genre melting around you from bad decision enabling going back decades. The defense force isn't needed; the battle was probably already decided back when maplestory took off in the west and showed the industry that a f2p monetization method can work. Hell, the battle arguably was lost when WoW started selling mounts. It's been dead for a while. A walking corpse on fire, reeking of waste.

I'm rather have Alisae's new outfit

this is why there isn't unrestricted glamour rules because the reality is people will turn around buy it on the shop for real cash if SE puts it up for sale.

idk, there is some NPC exclusive stuff I would pay real money for. but they're on literally-who tier NPCs, so no chance. of course i would prefer them to be just in-game glamour stuff, but at this point idc
happy for alphy and iceheart fans though (ꈍᴗꈍ)

Yeah that’s honestly the only reason I’d consider it, because I already have the casting top, but those gloves are maiming. But I’m not paying $12 for a reskin, class restrictions or not. I skipped Iceheart’s for the same reason.

Supply and demand. If no one buys it, there's no reason to supply more in the future.
Talking with your wallet as some would call it.

And then Ali said: Alphi, no!

Say what you want about the set, but I'd have paid $12 for just the gloves if they were dyeable

Sucks that it isn't dyable. But the thing is this set can be use by any class, that's why is $12. Still, I hate that characters outfits can't be dyed.

Now i want a "mogstation's gear at home" meme post about that ... :3

"Supply" As if this took more than 2 minutes to make, literally just copied some textures from Alphinaud's version and pasted it onto the gear that everyone and their mother has been using since Stormblood. Even if single loser buys this they won with it, there was literally nothing spent on this, the hardest thing someone had to do was write a description and take screenshots for this garbage. They practically have no incentive to stop even if it doesn't sell well. I can't wait for them to give us the undyable Sage AF gear next year for the same price. It's also laughable that it's costs as much as actual NPC outfits like Ystolha's or Hien's that had to be adapted to at least one or two different races. This should cost the same as ARR Scion gear if anything.

I don't get why you are having a melty over Thurmnmurmn's statement they're objectively right.

a set for hardcore cosplayers
like all those wind-up lalafells and Big [character] name Roes not sure who else would buy it outside of impulse buyers.
But once double dye channels come out you'll probably get to make it even closer to Alphinauds

in the virtual world that doesn't exist, you need the "limited" part, the fear of scarcity.
