Cash shop confirmed

[Roris]

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 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.

Sorry, English is not my native language, is "kinda" mean that I actually said that I want them to use the actual kickstarter???

the thing that I suggested is that the shop revenues that SE receives by selling thing in the shop to be inverted in new shop items, you are not investing, you are just purchasing and by your early purchases getting some kind of exclusive reward, and old items to be cheaper overtime and SE giving some small credit as veteran reward to get something from the shop (most likely cheaper items) and with all that making a cycle of early adopters with money but the items being available for everyone without spending more than the subscription.

Forum= The voice of concern. If they get rid of them, there will be no voice for SE to hear ( Feedback). They will do well to not lose the voice.

never said it wasnt a voice of concern...what i said its that its the minority ie even if every single person that said they wont buy doesnt, it doesnt mean that the rest % of the playerbase wont

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.

"Hey guys, we're going to sell plushies that will also give you a minion."

"OMG GUYS THEY'RE GOING BECOME P2W EVERYBODY PANIC" <- basically this thread

Lol. Silly forum people and their over-dramatizing. ^_^; It's been only minions and mounts since the start and people are already fussing about it becoming P2W, lol. Why not actually wait for that to happen before automatically assuming based on absolutely nothing?

You have an overly simplistic view on the communities opinions and as such make your comments hold less weight. Try to talk like were people and not idiots who need you to come in and set things straight without even reading the discussion until now

What I am saying is, if the people voicing their concern leaves the game/community, SE will effectively losing their much needed feedback. Yes they maybe the minority, but they are the ones at least speaking up about it. The quite ones that sit back and let everything unfold isn't helping the game. So, what I am trying to say is, SE does not want to lose the " Minority of the forums" as that is what is helping the game to be a better game.

I-snip-

Uh, if you care so much about them, I honestly don't know why you can't be bothered to save some money on the side to pay for them. :l Honestly though, to completely quit the entire game over something that just stands around and looks cute while you craft or something seems silly to me.

I certainly plan on saving a bit on the side for the mog plushie, personally. I think it's a sweet deal to get both an adorable plushie and a minion out of it. *shrug*

Though those players would've quit a loooong time ago when the CE and sountrack minions were released if they're so passionate about collecting them all without paying extra. Heck, one minion is pre-order only and is no longer available.

[Teirshin]

It'd also be very silly to quit for something that doesn't affect you at all in-game.

...yet.

The fact that they arent selling P2W yet doesnt mean they wont, and do you honestly believe SE isnt going to sell anything and everything they can to make more money?

Even if they somehow avoid that path, whenever they come up with something nice, they'll have a choice of making it earnable in game, or sell it for cash on the shop... Gee, I wonder which one the bean counters will push for.....

Its a bad move, period, and bodes ill.

[Reyals]

Skip a probably unhealthy lunch and buy an apple and purchase a minion. That's how I see it. Since it's not pay to win I'm ok with it.

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.
