Cash shop confirmed

[Alexander_Dragonfang]

@SongJoohee... Who says that odin wont have another rare vanity item?

We know for sure is not going to be the slepnir mount. Thats enough.

On this thread, i have counted like 15 people who would be perfect with that. Sad isnt it?

I find it really really bizarre. I can understand them being okay with it, but some people here even go as far to say the Cash Shop will be a positive addition to the game.

Would those who are in favour of the cash shop be okay if Square Enix removed the primal mounts from the current Extreme primals on the 28th and put them in the Cash Shop along side Slepnir?

Because that's what has happened with Slepnir pretty much, just the trial where he was due to be dropped isn't out yet and he got thrown into the Cash Shop instead.

If they removed the battles sure, Odin battle is not out yet so how do you know it was meant to be a reward from Odin primal? Odin Primal battle probably has another Unicorn pony like alll the other ones. And tbh the Sleipnir in the cash shop is missing 2 legsxD

Why do I keep hearing this? someone please source me the copy of the T&C that they have that says that the subscription is anything other than a license renewal for access to 2.0 servers? at least according to the official T&C, your sub does not cover any additional content, not even bug patches past 2.0. SE is very customer friendly to allow us free access to 2.1 thru 2.4, without making us pay an additional fee, but they don't HAVE to.

Looking for a source.

It is not written in there that we are entitled to it by law but because that's how it has been for 4 years. Obviously they can change it because they are right now but that doesn't mean it's right.
By your logic you could be playing with cubes with checkerboard textures and you would be happy buying those "extra features" because all you really pay for every month is access to the servers. So everything that makes up the entirety of the game is not included in your subscription fee

So a sub to play a game is the same than pay ONCE for a mount i use in the game. hrm... weird

How is this hard to understand? For the entire life of the game your 1 (count them) subscription fee every month gave you all mounts/minions/furnishing/fluff that was not a bonus item for something else.
Now your 1 recurring payment does not give you access to all those items. So you pay more for something you used to have for 1 recurring payment. That's 2 payments. That's a payment every month AND an additional fee for more items

Edit: maximum posts for the day.
Right your entitled to nothing then. Paying for access to a server that can lead to nothing is ok with you guys. Cool
Have fun bending over

Just a small thought here, but I just went over the live letter, and the interview where this was announced, and neither of them said that slepneir was going to be EXCLUSIVE to the cash shop, just that it was going to be in the cash shop. does anyone also have that source?

I also think a cash shop will do right, and will serve for those who want to get something ALREADY in game in a faster way and also contribute a bit more to the company, im totally ok with that. The problem is when the item is EXCLUSIVE of the cash shop.

You pay extra to get extra stuff, i think it is a positive thing for players and the company itself. Said the same about WoW cash shop. If you want extra mounts you pay extra money big deal xD

Heh, minecraft. "playing with cubes with checkerboard textures "

Worst thing is, I bet if minecraft had an official server, they would charge a sub for it.

Item's in the cash shop should be exclusive. Or older items you can't get right now and don't want to wait a whole year for an event to start. If you put Mounts in the cash shop which can be farmed or have a very low drop rate you will anger A LOT of people who farmed those mounts.

"Hey got the 0.01% mount from xxxx NM! YAY"
"yeah bought the thing for 20$ yay?"


People want exclusive items only they have. Low drop rate/hard battles whatever but people want that stuff. And if you give them a way to pay for it with real money it will devalue the whole item. Keep items in the cash shop exclusive or old stuff.
