Cash shop confirmed

[Xairos]

Are you joking. EVERYTHING they showed in the presentation other than the three minions was present content that has been cut.

The halloween items were previously all sold for 1 gil on a vendor last halloween. They have CUT those items this year to sell for real money.

The sleipnir mount already exists, used by Odin in game in all of his race forms. There's no extra development involved in giving it to players. It has been cut to sell for real money.

Are you joking? I was refering to any item, say Allagan Sword, that was removed and put on the pay site. The old halloween item is old. the new one is new. not in the game yet as far as it being live for the players. Assets are in the game but we cant touch em yet. That isnt live.

[Amused]

Tell me one item that they removed from the game and put behind a paywall!

Odin's mount. It's already in the game. Has been in the game since 2.0 launched.

Good job Square... The middle finger to the vanity-centered part of your P2P playerbase is the way to go.

Of course, as it's not raid content it doesn't matter. /sarcasm

I left GW2 and many others because of that, you know? I'm not willing to pay a sub and have this shit too. I'm on the line of leaving now, so the next thing that I don't like will be the last, you can take my word for it. I'll vote with my wallet, as that's what you seem to care about.

You do know your sub fee is just to renew your license to play the game, right? Nothing else.

personally, browsing a pay shop is something fun and free to do when I'm bored.

They'll make far more money off this than they will lose from people "voting with their wallet". Also how much was your monthly sub in GW2? Those games have to make money somewhere, it's not a charity.

So when are they removing prism and implementing them into cashshop? I mean, it's just vanity right?

[Fated]

Welcome to modern SE. Anything to fund their ridiculous console entries that have to fly off the screen and suck to play.

Do you have any proof that it was ever planned to available in-game?

Go browse online retail stores then. Something like this has no place in an already pay-to-play game.

How would you feel if you paid for, say, a magazine subscription, but they decided to tear out some of the pages or articles and charge extra for them because they're "optional"?

Do you have any proof that it was ever planned to available in-game?

IT'S ALREADY IN THE GAME. If it already exists in the game, it can be made available in an instant if they wanted to.

you guys saying this is gonna make you leave, please do, you pollute the fun community that drives this game. Take your "my game opened a store" problems to another game.

Yeah, extortion sure is fun...

I am not really a fan of this. I pay a monthly subscription because I support the game, and in return expect this sort of stuff to be included. Oh well, every game company seems to head in this direction now: day 1 dlc, on game content locked behind pay dlc, capcom style micro-transactions, etc... Hopefully enough people decide not to buy this and they rethink this cash-shop stuff.
