Cash shop confirmed

[Starlord]

I have every bit of confidence in Yoshi P's reasoning ability to figure out why people unsubbed the day a cash shop was announced.

That is the people decision to make if they feel just like you. However, unsubbing will only hurt the game and it will eventually start delaying patches/expansions and what not. Yes your right to say that is Yoshi-P's fault, but if people don't want to see FFXIV make progress of content or even the game in general, then I question if they ever really like the game to begin with. Just simply stop subbing over a cash shop that is not pay 2 win, won't help the game any.

Again, that is everyones decision to make, I am just giving my opinion here, nothing more.

None of the minions are ingame or from previous patches. They are new.

It was something from previous patch. Seasonal items was it, I'm sure it was mentioned that one of the plans for the cash shop was you can get 1.0 items and old seasonal goods or something. Some of those are minions I'd wager like the small princess doll.

Diablo III Lethargy: Why put the work and effort into learning a fight, why run it 50x for the chance of a rare drop when you can put down $10-20 and get it instantly? In fact, the more times you run Odin, you'll find that the trial is exhausting and if you are unlucky for so long, you'll eventually put the money down.

I don't get why that would be a problem if BOTH exist. If the person has that much of a problem with the cash shop he'll just keep doing the trial.
Also for the first bit, because it's fun? I do second coil at the moment just because it's fun, getting gear at this point is just a bonus after you've downed the content.

And if you are worried about 'people would just buy it on cash shop' somehow marginalizing the achievement of grinding for it, have them be different colours, have an emblem on it, do something to make it distinct so people can see where you got it?

Casual players have gotten what they want. How else was Squeenix supposed to answer the casual players cry for some better looking gear? Some people don't feel like killing Ifrit with a 1% drop chance at getting a horse. If people are fortunate enough to have the extra money to spice their character up how they'd like and don't have extra time to farm, so be it, the loot looks different, but now the causal player can have an identity.

The people that are saying this is the end because they have to decided whether or not new content is going in the cash shop or in the game, I don't think that was ever a question, I think all it shows now is that they have an abundance of content and instead of giving it a .0001% drop rate on some EM primal, they have enough content to give the casual player a chance to ride a horse around. They have finally reached a point in the game where their not pushing themselves to the limit for more content, there's is finally extra.

See but that's the thing. Giving people a chance to buy a rare drop they can't seem to get, it's fine.
Making people buy something that they cannot obtain by any means in-game it's not.

Yes they did show the 4 pumpkin heads and the 2 halloween ghost costumes from the previous events. Which I don't mind, because everyone had the chance to get them.

However, the minions they showed were Y'shtola, Yda and Papalymo, and Sleipnir mount after. These 4 items are new and not obtainable in-game.

You want people to be able to buy the loot you worked so hard for?

"You hope it hurts the game?" I wonder if you liked the game to begin with -.-.

Their not making any one buy or do anything for that matter. If it's a secret to all of you, this would be one of the only P2p games without a cash shop, as I said, they finally have extra content, like old content from past festivals, we never would have seen that otherwise, it's nice I now have that option if I missed it and really wanted that item.

[Natashio]

I'll tell you what.. SE can have their stupid cash shop for all I care. But the moment they start throwing advertisements for it on the start up screens and loading screens, that's it it's over. I don't want to see a single advertising on cash shop items while I start or play the game that I already pay a subscription for.

You want people to be able to buy things you can't even get?

Because I couldn't care less if they buy something I worked hard for. I work hard for things I want to get, I don't care about what others get - it doesn't take away my enjoyment of the game.
I care about what I can't get unless I pay. I care about being robbed of content.
