Correction of prices for optional items

[Tupsi]

Except it's NOT that simple as there are going to be cash shop exclusives. So it's either pay up or miss out. Why should anyone miss out on items when they're already paying a monthly subscription?

It is that simple. I didn't purchase extra retainers because I didn't want to. I didn't buy out my fantasia allocation because I didn't want to. Mounts and Minions are in-game and plenty will be, the only thing you're missing out on, based on even that little list, are mostly items if you CHOSE not to play FFXIV 1.0 or missed out last year, meaning you already missed out.

Did you know? You missed out on Wind up Minfilla if you didn't buy her in the anniversary event ^^.

Blah

And event items were purchasable in-game before. They always came back around the next time for purchase.

And yes, I did know. I don't usually miss events. But I look at the bigger picture: this is about EVERYONE. Everyone pays for this game already, we shouldn't have to pay extra on top for cash shop exclusives (which there will be - they've already said so). And this is just the beginning. We all know what SE are like by now. It's only a matter of time before everything you want will be cash shop exclusive. :/

Hyperbole much? If that was SE's master plan, then the latest round of minions wouldn't have been in the game. Most vanity items will still be attainable in game and, from the look of it, only past seasonal vanity will be in the store. Yes they'll do shop exclusives, but it looks like it will be a tiny fraction of vanity content.

Only during the first year of ARR.

That they sold old event items in the evnt vendors could be to give people who never played 1.x still a chance to get it
And with the Yukatas last summer event, there is no 1.x seasonal event gear anymore that still need to find a way in a ARR seasonal event

Actually if u didn't beat the seasonal event you cant purchase the items its only if u have beaten it before that you can re purchase them, so your argument is invalid sorry to inform you, but wrong.

As pointed out multiple times before, event NPCs from that seasonal event sold gear from that previous event from the year before. For example had the cash shop not been planned, this year's vendor would have sold the 1.0 pumpkin heads along with the ghost costume, just like a year ago the event NPCs also sold the 1.0 pumpkin heads, just like the summer event NPCs from this year sold the 1.0 swimsuits, the 1.0 yukatas and the 2.0 swimsuits, etc. The Calamity Salvager does indeed also sell them once you've completed an event, so that's probably what you're confusing.

[Rayder_Griever]

yes roris that is true but who wants to wait a year for those? they are unobtainable till that event comes back, and if you missed the event you can 1 wait till next year, and 2 now you have second choice you can buy them. that's what i meant by my post he was saying why buy something you can get in game which you cant if the player hasn't beat the quest or if you subbed late. so no harm in having it on the store.

Rayder_Griever,

The whole argument is that they're ONLY available in the cash shop now. Those NPCs were taken out. You can no longer get them unless you pay for them.

[Rayder_Griever]

They said they wont be available ever again in game from the events? plz send quote from fan fest i didn't hear that part

Well you were calling them flat out wrong and saying their argument was invalid. As for people waiting I personally wouldn't mind waiting at all, I didn't participate in a lot of 1.0 seasonal events and was glad the wait was worth it because I got most of those items this time around in 2.0 with gil. Like I've also said before in this thread, if they did a limited time out of season sale after the events themselves had finished, I would have no issues with that, as long as those items where purchasable with gil again for the duration of said event.

Proof is with this current Halloween event. The event NPCs only sell this year's seasonal gear, you can no longer purchase past seasonal event gear from previous Halloween events, so no, they aren't available in game anymore as rewards from the events.
