Cash shop confirmed

[Fatestorm]

I have friends who have already cancelled their subs. Double dipping is unacceptable. So long as they take a monthly subscription fee from their players, a cash shop is an insult to every one of us.

I will never purchase an item from this cash shop, and encourage you all to do the same.

What the crap.

Insult? LOL.

Let SE make extra $$ on the people who're willing to buy, it further assists development of the game.

No harm done if it isn't P2W.

Well if they want to make money to further develop, then since I am paying them too I want them to spend their time developing stuff for everyone and not spend them time that they are already getting paid for, with our money, to charge us more.

We're paying for future content and development already, cash shops are no excuse.

They canceled their subs over a cash shop that only has vanity items? That's really pathetic.

[Roris]

We already pay an monthly fee and FFXIV seems to be an success for SE already, why do they act like they cant get enough now?

Even vanity gear is part of the experience, we already pay for...

Apparently those 2.5 million accounts created weren't cutting it, maybe they'll actually disclose real subscriber numbers now.

This just in, voting with your wallet is apparently pathetic.

Voting for your wallet by NOT buying the Optional stuff? Yes
Voting with your wallet by NOT paying your sub? What exactly does this prove?

That you don't like the direction a game is heading and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, but you're tying in the Optional "Vanity stuff" as some of the direction of the game. It's not even close to the direction of the game. P2W stuff would be, but not Optional Vanity stuff.

Optional items for a game are still part of the game, having those items only be available from a cash shop is a very conscious decision about the direction of the game.

All content is optional. Is it okay just because it's vanity then?
