Cash shop confirmed

Yes I am. People buy anew phone because a new one comes out with new features that the old one didn't have. More powerful, more memory more features. It's a new product.

It's still a bunch of crap you were led to believe you need. It amazes me how people will pay so much just to keep glued to social media. The world got sucker'd.

Wether people were tempted into buying it or not it is a new product with new features that made it different and better then the previous one that they otherwise would not have any other way. No ones handing you a phone every year for free.

In this case we would normally get these items at no extra cost

This isn't even comparable. One is an entirely new product that has been upgraded and you would not have because it's a single purchase item.
These items in game were obtainable in game, included in our monthly subscription and nothing is changed about them.

The point of being tempted into buying either a phone or these items has nothing to do with this. This argument is based on facts. The simple fact that we had something before and now we have to pay more to get what we had access to before

Access to what before? Event items? Offering a cash shop alternative to someone who missed a past event or is simply new to the game is great. Otherwise they'd never have a shot at it.

That's true for things that people missed out on that others had a chance to get in game already. But what about those things that will never be released in game and are only available on the cash shop. That's what we're talking about. For the entire duration of this games life when a minion or mount was being released we would know we could get it by playing the game. Now there will be things we can't get by playing the game and only obtainable by paying more money.

So instead of offering those past items for purchase from event NPCs during seasonal events like they had done so far, they're now offering them for real money. If that isn't greedy, I mean smart business, I don't know what is.

Maybe i've looked in the wrong places but I haven't seen any of the older seasonal items for sale that I hadn't participated in myself. The event's items I missed aren't even listed.

I was able to buy all the yukatas and costumes during the summer event, as well as all the different earrings a couple of weeks ago. I thought those were past seasonal items.

Those were 1.0 Yukatas along with brand new ones. The summer event items last year were bikini's iirc. Again, Only items I can find from past events are the ones I actually completed. Kinda like letting me buy replacements in case I accidentally discarded them.

I was able to buy the egg hats from 1.0's easter event and the chokers from 1.0's Valentione's and I didn't participate in either of them back in the day. It was the same for every past seasonal event up until today, the event vendors always sold past event stuff for in game gil.

I didn't participate in the Easter event and I can't find those items anywhere. Same goes for the Christmas chocobo barding. Can't find it.
