Cash shop confirmed

[tocsin]

No you bought the item. You didn't earn it.

If I could press a dislike button, I would. I work in real life to pay for my sub, and any items I want. I earned that $5.

I'm not saying I should be able to put money to get ahead of hard work. but if paying money earns me a pretty little odin pony, which doesn't make me any more powerful than I was before, then who should say I cant?

I do however support them being accessible in game. maybe a atma sized drop rate.

Yes, I know what you meant, but still, just because you don't consider that "playable-content" that doesn't mean that other people shouldn't too. If someone was saying that they don't care if new raids would have new gear with a different skin I would be telling them the same thing. Both have been part of the game for quite some time, and changing ANY of them right now just to get more cash from people is greedy as hell, and a slap in the face of part of the playerbase.

I am a big collector in game, and with the implementation of a cash shop, I will more than likely not spend my money on things as useless as minions for real life money. I'd rather go eat a fat burger than get shinnies. However, I am glad its being implemented. It's a different option for different kinds of people who do not mind investing more money on their accounts. It's more money into the game, it's people being LESS interested in investing in RMT's to achieve a goal and would rather go to the cash shop instead.

It's maybe, opportunities to get more unlimited amount of fantasias, name change tickets.

People, you aren't giving it a chance, it's an idea, let it develop, if it doesnt meet it's goal and it incredibly (QQ) impacts the gameplay, they will remove it.

Played wow for like 2 years and never bought anything from their store, still enjoyed the game.
Pretty sure I'll do the same here

C'mon now, you can't be serious. Achievements in a game shouldn't be affected by whatever riches you have in life. They're games, there is a fairness to it like in every game. It doesn't matter if you are rich, poor, white, black, blue, male, female. In a game all that is irrelevant. Earning something in a game means becoming good at it and getting it by playing. What you're saying is I earned something in the game because I have money.
Who knew those crappy facebook games would have such an impact on the whole gaming industry. Earning stuff in a game because you can pay with money XD

Actually if it wasnt because of real life riches you wouldnt be able to achieve anything in the game, nor even have a character. (Pretty sure your sub, your system, internet, home etc, costs ACTUAL REAL LIFE MONEY)

Do I still need to further explain myself something as simple as to why i earned an item I bought with real life money?

fyi I don't even own a facebook, bad assumption I am that kind of customer.

for that matter, I would not be opposed to the atma's themselves being available in the cash shop. money invested into the game itself should be able to compensate for grinding hours. we aren't talking practice or hard work here, we are talking mindless grinding of near ineffective competition.

You have 15 hours to atma grind in game, okay! you spend 12 hours a day working, and only are able to casually play 3 hours a day? give us some of that money, and you are okay too!

That is what you earn for your money. You earn the game itself. What is inside the game though is earned only through gameplay mechanisms which ignores whatever position in life the player has. The game has its own rules and you earn stuff by becoming better at the game. In chess doesn't matter if on one side is a king and on the other a peasant. The rules are the same for everyone. That is the difference which you don't get apparently. Or at least that is how it used to be before facebook games showed to everyone that games can be used to exploit the collecting nature of gamers to milk them more. I didn't imply that you play facebook games, I meant those were the ones that started this trend for everyone else to follow.

And, while we're at it, lets put allied seals too. Nope :/

Unless they start putting in gear that gives you an significant advantage..I really fail to see the bad thing about cash shops. Besides, it's my money. I can use it however I please.

[RiverTams]

I really do think this community is much smarter than this, I already made my point. I explained myself probably 5? times now.

I didn't think morons could turn on computers. Oh well.

also, edit;
facebook didn't start this trend, it just exploited it. This trend has been out for a while.

And I still stand by it, anything you worked for you earned (is that simpler to understand?)
