Eternal Bond - Standard Plan and Gold Plan

[Selkie]

Looks gorgous!

Oh, I agree!

So by all means keep complaining on the forums, maybe you'll get an apology from Yoshi-P to appease you, but ultimately nothing is going to change until people stop posturing and actually take action over this.

I will be taking action by not purchasing anything from the cash shop. I will unsubscribe if I deem it to be no longer worthy paying when I have to pay so much extra. As it happens I couldn't give a toss about Eternal Bond. My and my partner are just disappointed we have to fork out extra for ingame stuff when we already pay monthly.
Other than not pay for the content all I can do is complain in the forums... that's kinda what they're here for...

Already sorted it with my Eternal Bond partner and we plan to pay for the gold plan. Why? Dat vanity.
Is it game breaking? No. Is it gonna break our wallets? Most probably not.

Neither of us were even slightly bothered when it was announced about the paid option. The only other way to get a 2-seat chocobo is through refer-a-friend... and y'all are SERIOUSLY surprised that you have to pay to get one through this?
For god's sake, there is a free option. You still get some/all of the benefits of the bond itself, just without the vanity it seems- is it really the end of the world?

Not sure if this is wide-spread knowledge, but this appears to be the mount in question, if anyone wanted to see what it was that you won't be able to get.



Unless they've already released images of it, I figure we may as well kill the hype now. That's it. That's the bird.

Looks nice. Not enough to make me bother even try for a Gold Wedding, but it's nice.

Because the Black Knights wants us to see how wrong you are about this because it will ALWAYS lead to them doing worse. NEVER take the people at their word, just cry and moan and wonder why they are the minority after all.

There are so many "love it or leave it" posts. That's not how a community/forum works.

Obviously, if people are (not) content with parts of the game/services around it, they should voice their feedback. If one sees nearly every post as a meaningless complaint, fine, but complaining about complaining just seems like a waste of time.

I wasn't even planning on making use of the Eternal Bond system but I think having a free version, without the items we were teased with from the beginning, to be really dishonest. There was plenty of time to say that those extras would cost players more. I guess I should have realized as much when it was being done through Mog Station, but I was naive.

On another note, is this fee one time? i.e., if you divorce and choose to Eternal Bond again and want your Gold Plan ceremony, are you paying full price again? Do you get to keep your items like your choco and fancier wedding clothes? Could you simply do the Free Plan with all of your Gold perks?

Officially gave up on the community. We both have full time jobs, we could both buy everything in the cash shop and not notice it, I could go and have the wedding, and probably won't notice that either. I just don't understand the mentally of paying monthly, then being happy to be locked out of content via a cash shop, game breaking or not.
Done with this thread, I'll just go elsewhere and hope it doesn't amount to anything more than being shafted on vanity and mounts (judging by the way some of you are bumming this we'll be paying for dungeons soon enough. It's OPTIONAL right?!?!?!)

If only we saw this coming. If only SE gave us a clue that they were gonna do some sort of Cash Shop. Oh wait they did. The moment we read and agreed to their ToS. Oh well! what can you do?

What a way to stand by your convictions...
Oh yeah by the by, he CHOSE to spend his money on what he wants, good or bad, that's his right. Last time I checked, I thought you guys want your voices to be heard, not force everyone to pander to you? Yeah I guess this so is virtually a "With Us or Against Us" type of thing rather than be "We want to be heard" type of thing.

And over reaction of the day goes to.....

Please tell me more about how entitled you feel. And how I'm not allowed to choose where to spend my money.
