Best MMO

They're not even PUSHING the cash shop. Like, at all. The Cash Shop is buried deep within the Mog Station and is not even tied into the game whatsoever. You have to physically close the game, go to the Mog Station, buy the items outright (which, again, are completely cosmetic and have zero gameplay advantages to them), then start the game back up again.

The sad part? Most of the other MMOs in this category have a P2W cash shop. GW2, WoW, Archeage, EVE, SWTOR, Neverwinter, RIFT... and those are only the MMOs I've played.

So don't even start with that "Oh this game has a cash shop, abandon ship!" jade, because most MMOs on the market today do it and they do it far worse than it's done here. Count your blessings. We could have had a cash shop like WoW where you can literally buy your way to level cap.

So because WoW and F2P MMOs do it, we have to be ok with that. I'm sorry, but I DON'T, and I'm going to keep saying it.

That's not the quality P2P MMO that I was playing before "special" people started asking to pay MORE for things that we were getting already in-game with our monthly sub. And now we have this crap, and each time they put something else in the game it ends up turning even worse.

If you keep saying that it's ok, that it's not the end of the world, that X and Y games do blahblahblah, instead of saying "enough, we're already paying a sub and it was working for months", they'll keep doing it. Eventually, and as I said in another thread, we might as well end up paying for each and every patch. After all, our sub only covers access to the servers, right?

You all can try to use as many excuses as you want, but the truth is that things are going down a path that some of us don't like at all, and that it only harms us, their customers. Do I have to remind anyone how back when the draught chocobo was introduced some people said that it was okay because we would be able to get another one in-game via eternal bond? What has happened now?

No you can't.

No you can't.

Yes.. you can. lvl90 60 bucks. Or are you going to sit and try to banter over the last 10 levels?
