Cash shop confirmed

[Fayto]

Get over yourselves, just don't buy if you are against it. Doesn't harm anyone.

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...

P.S: And dont think they will stop at vanity stuff...
If it pays out, they will find more an more stuff to sell through the cash-shop.
I can already imagine how yoshi-p announces, how they finally made it possible for us to reset the weekly loot-lookout for a "small" fee but that we shouldnt be concerned, because this time they really wont go further with the cash-shop stuff.

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.

I am surprised that the odin mount is not saved for the odin fight coming, as for the fantasia I think kind of stupid that people that want to change their race like it clothes so can't blame SE for cashing in on that option though.

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

I am gonna buy everything just to spite you.

It's extremely naive to believe that.

Content that is sold in a cash shop is rarely "extra" content they would have not made, and much more often is content they would have put in the game anyway but decided to charge people for instead. The past seasonal items shown here are some of the most blatant examples of this - they currently sell at each repeated event for negligible gil amounts.

Beyond that, as more people buy into the whole idea, it encourages them to devote more resources to the cash shop and place more things in it they might have included in the game as time goes on. Why put more vanity in the standard game when people have proven they will pay extra for it?

It harms everyone.

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.

Take a look at the Sleipnir mount. It's already in game, the model is already in use. This also could have been a reward from the Odin trial when it's added to the live servers.

Instead they have cut a mount that already has a model on the live servers to sell separately elsewhere. Notice that they have done NO extra work to produce this mount for the cash shop as it already exists in the game as Odin's mount, and since Odin can spawn as any race there is one already scaled appropriately for every race.

I'm willing to overlook it when they claim that a separate team produced cash shop fluff specifically to be sold as an extra but the Sleipnir mount is blatantly cut content just to cash in on some extra money.

Please don't claim it 'doesn't harm anyone' when they have so obviously removed content that EVERYONE could have enjoyed to sell it to a few that cough up extra for it.
