How many would boycott the game?

[Ulfhade]

Boycott the entire game, nah.

I'm not a fan of how much the cash shop charges for its items (and to a minor degree, the cash shop in general), so I haven't (and likely will never) bought anything from it. I'm not going to be bothered if other people do buy from it, since that's their choice and while I like some of the shiny items, I don't need them.

But I do enjoy the game far to much to boycott it, since I feel that SE are doing a fair job of entertaining content vs. how much I pay for the sub.

I will not boycott this ppl need to get over it and move on

It's more of initial anger and then meh

Yeah, I rather indifferent about it too.
You could get a Draught Chocobo for sort of free-ish from the recruit a friend program.

I could see the cash shop being horrible for the late adopters of the game. Such as if a new player were to join now, and wanted all the previous annual event items, I'm expecting them to spend well $100 just in vanity items when the other seasonal event rolls around.
The previous set of Halloween items cost $19 in total for all of them. In a way, this is penalizing late adopters to cough up extra cash in terms of monthly subscriptions they would have been paying earlier, while not actually obtaining any value out of it but its vanity items.

For me, forgetting to grab the two anniversary minions, Wind-up Minfilia, Wind-up Thancred, isn't that bad. I'm a lazy collector, so it isn't like I need to have everything. I'd just like to grab and experience whatever is offered to me in the game.

Keep in mind that the forums represent a tiny minority of players, and it's the loud minority at that. The opinions of the forumites are the opinions of the playerbase entire only in a loose sense.

Whatever do you mean ?

I know now this game isn't for me. I'm not resubbing next month.

Especially with how many forum-going players avoid this particular forum like the plague.

Not boycotting the game. You don't have to buy every dlc or optional content for a video game to enjoy it.

I've yet to purchase anything from the cash shop outside of my two extra retainers. I don't feel as though my experience in the game has been changed in the slightest because someone else is riding a Sleipnir mount or has a couple of minions I don't have.

I will most likely pay for the extra service for the Eternal Bond, though. Why? Because that's something that has some extra value to me and my partner. And that's all that matters to me.

And as long as all of the money goes back into the game to make it even better, and there's no pay to win, it really doesn't matter to me.

What's this, a nerd boycott? My, SE must really shudder at the thought, it's proven so effective in the past.
