Cash shop confirmed

[vientown]

If they plan on selling vanity items for real money, I demand they stop using my subscription fees to develop vanity content. You don't get to charge people for something and then charge them again to access it.

After 10 years of playing SE MMOs, I will absolutely drop my subscription and never touch an SE title again.

What ARE they using our money for? The MMO was budgeted on 400'000 subs and is well over that now, and yet Ishgard is 90% re-used assets and a mess of models that already existed before too - some of them not even making sense lore wise. One primal trial every 3 months? Coil aesthetic constantly recycled? No DX11?

No idea where the money goes aside from terrible iOS games with just as dubious economic practices.

DX11 is coming, where were you?

Geez, everyone is overreacting. I'm sure you won't find any better MMO. In past 15 years, about 15-16 mmos I've tested and play. This by far is better one not best.

DX11 has been coming since 2.0, they keep saying that it's 'getting there' or progressing, but there's no evidence that ANYTHING has been made of it yet. They haven't announced any sort of release date yet either, that's really ridiculous especially considering we are now at the first xpac.

I'm on the fence about the vanity items. Excluding the sleipnir mount arent they only selling past event items?

Regardless, its bad enough having to pay for 2 additional retainers, now crafters/gatheres must compete with not only rng but a cash shop that sell the item for less the $5. Vs the a million gil on MB

You are absolutely right about it destroying the crafting economy. The mini Y'shtola and other new scion minions are cash shop only. They are $5 each which means essentially $15 + maybe $20 for Sleipnir as an account mount.

and thats exactly why im so angry about this, i love this game and the last thing i wante to see is a cash shop. now i just can play it anymore because of this horrible practice.
i really hope they drop the cash shop. till then they are not gonna see any more money from me.
