Cash shops: Whats wrong with you?

[Rose_Vilehart]

A cash shop doesn't equal a bigger success, but it doesn't mean it's a beginning of a downfall either. Just as well, nor does the absence of one. Some of us loathe cash shops, others enjoy them. To think that either side will just convert and drop something that, apparently has an appeal to them, is childishly naive. That's why they made a thread and that's why you did as well. Not really sure why so surprised. It rarely happens in the real world, much less in the virtual o_o

Cash shops may be common in F2P games, but they're not exclusive to them. Times are changing and all of that....

Because paying extra in an mmo where you already pay a sub price is just a bundle of fun isnt it? you do realize they could just add all the item people are asking to be in the cash shop in game right?
Not that it matters much because those people are a vocal minority in a vocal minority so i doubt we will ever see a cash shop and if we do im moving to archeage and black desert

There's other things, I'm sure for any of us, that are already in game and aren't all that fun. That aside, it's still a business. I don't mean to scare you too much but we currently have, in game, some things that the vocal minority within the vocal minority has been loud about :X My personal feel, call it just a hunch, is that there's no realistic need for an item shop. The game seems do be doing fairly well with numbers, we haven't had an official (paid for) expansion yet and they do seem to "give us what we want" via the standard P2P model.

Just as an FYI for those who oppose the idea of a Cash Shop, this is how you argue your point. This point is actually valid and makes sense.

You do know that perhaps, just perhaps, items that might make it to the cash shops just aren't part of the content development plans at all? meaning, it never was to be released "for free" and if it wasn't in the cash shop, then you simply don't get it at all.

We already have a cash shop, it is called Mog Station
