Anyone Pro cash shop?

[Ilitsa]

Some people will tell you that the income from the cash shop will make the game better for everyone.

Personally, I think those people just don't realize that the stuff they're buying from the cash shop was made using our subscription money and should have been put in the game for us to aquire in the first place, not sold for more money. From now on, some development hours will flow into making minions, mounts etc. for sale in the cash shop, hours that would have otherwise flown into making minions, mounts etc. for us to earn in-game.
So far, I felt like paying our subscription granted us access to everything the game had to offer. Well, not anymore, now.

Wrong. Subscription fee -only- pays for your access to the servers of the game. It does not entitle you to anything more than their game, and the patch updates. Are you going to attack them for making you buy Heavensward as well?

Less crafting recipes is a *good* thing, now?

I don't even see the point of the "less crafting" You can't craft the ghost costumes anyways.

I take it you consider yourself lucky that they don't ask us to pay for every patch, hmm? It's so kind of SE to provide us with patches and content free of charge.

Where did I say that? I pay my sub to play the game and get the content patches. Pretty sure I never implied "being lucky" for not having to pay for the patches as well, nice try in spinning my words around though dear

May I ask where I can find this info? For example, how much will they be charging us for the Sleipnir mount?

Can be inferred upon by looking at the minion(pet) costs

here, or here Just to name a few

I really want NASA astronaut space suit vanity/glamor and SPACE SHUTTLE ROCKET mount.

Basically ridiculous cash shop content that breaks the lore, e.g. boxer gloves(monk), candy cane(lancer), etc.

Maybe housing will be added to the cash shop? Could explain why housing is so expensive.

Technically, boxer gloves could fit in, as a throwback to one of the monsters in FF7 (and I forget what other FF's, I know there's more than one though), a goblin you fight in a forest, wears green boxer shorts and red boxer gloves

"their game"

...

I.. just... c'mon really? You really don't see it?

Also, Heavensward is not small bits of mounts and vanity, its a massive content dump and next chapter/stage of a story that could be standalone. Of course it'll be blended in with our current main story but its focus is on Ishgard and its war, not what we just did/been doing during vanilla.

Maybe it's because I just skimmed it or something, but I'm not seeing whatever is wrong that required you to point out "their game". Is it supposed to be "my game" or something? Because... that would be wrong...
