Anyone Pro cash shop?

Mount wasn't priced. I think you're thinking off the vanity clothing at £5 mark.

aye, i might well be.

pumpkin heads were $5 USD
ghost costumes were $3 USD
minions were $5 USD

judging by those prices, I would easily expect Sleipnir to be $10-$15 USD, which is a very reasonable price imo

Some people are just way too salty. As long as the purchasable items don't interfere with the gameplay in any way I'll be happy. I personally enjoy having the option to spend $5-10 on things like fantasia potions or glamor items. People keep bringing up how some of us just want to buy something and not earn it in game so it's not worth having; That's your opinion, so leave it at that.

As long as they continue to add hairstyles/glamour items in-game the way they have so far and use the cash shop on top of that, I think people will calm down and get over it. I'm pro cash shop but I'd hate to see every new glamour/hair/dye/etc go there.

Hmmm that would put costumes items at about £3ish. But pretty sure Tessa is correct about an item around the £5 mark.

[Fawkes]

I'm in favor of it, I guess. I'm hopeful that it will eventually mean more vanity and hairstyles and whatever other customizations. Basically what I mean is, if the overall total number of vanity/customization items increases then I'll be happy.

Thanks Seems I may of been mistaking the euro price for sterling price on the Fantasia.

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?

"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.

I'm not really sure why some people are fine with being charged on top of their subscription for the kind of content that has been a driving force for progression, trade, crafting, and intentional instance revisits.

I don't really get why people are fine with double dipping period. It's a very blatantly greed driven practice, and accepting it only encourages more consumer manipulation practices. They only have to change a little bit at a time. Get you acclimated. Let you find excuses for the small stuff till you're eventually totally fine with it. It's happened before with other industries.
Hell, did you know cable used to be commercial free?

Microtransactions are so crazy overpriced 99% of the time too. 1/100th of an expansion pack for 1/5th the price? It doesn't take a physicist to see that doesn't match up. And adding that with a subscription is just clawing through the sofas.
I cannot abide by this sort of behavior at all. Even if XIV turned out to be my favorite game of all time. I can't see double dipping as anything but a seriously low practice all around.
Why would you allow that to happen to you?
