Cash shop confirmed

[Mirili]

Last time I checked this 'business' was already making money, from monthly subscription fee's. Maintaining a good relationship with customers is vital to any business, and is what stops said customer from taking their business elsewhere, in which case said business would be losing '$$MONEY$$'

It's amusing that people always paint the most crudest picture of a corporation when talking about things like this. Too many movies and marxist novels I suspect.

There's so much I love about this post. I'm not sure what my favorite part is. It's either when you stood up and yelled "COMMUNIST!", or when you demanded that he explain why a corporation would want to make more money when it's already making money.

This. This is what keeps me coming back to the forums.

I understand corporations making money, but why as a consumer do you allow them to milk you so?

An example.

You have a chocobo, would you rather give SE $5 for said chocobo or would you rather not give SE $5 for said chocobo?

Huhwhat. I haven't even visited the cash shop. I'm not being milked. Not that I'm swearing off buying anything, at all, ever.

A question.

Would I not receive a chocobo otherwise?

You won't receive the sleipnir mount otherwise.

In that case, I don't buy the sleipnir mount because it doesn't appeal to me, and doesn't put me at a disadvantage for not buying it.

As a consumer, the chocobo(or any mount/minnions) that you currently have would you rather spend $5 on it or not spend $5 on it?

You can not not have a chocobo, its yours and its in your log. But would you have preferred to spend $5 instead of gotten it for free?

Question:

Would $5 saved me all of that running between lvl 1 and getting a normal choco at lvl 20? That would have been worth $5 to me.


As far as it being the sleipnir mount, does it provide me any additional in game benefits that other mounts don't? otherwise, I don't care.

No it wont.
When you start a new character you get all your previously earned Rewards items mailed to you, including a few mounts.

However you can not use any mount until you have earned your Chocobo pass via the one and only method when you first join a GC

Hmmm, you didn't say very much yourself. And no, I didn't question WHY a company would want to make more money at all.
