F2P, P2W, and the "slippery slope" fallacy

[Spellbinder]

Did you not read what she was talking about?
She stated that some people would want every minion and mount, so if they come from Squenix merchandise that's not available ingame, it is the exact same problem as them being exclusive to the Cash Shop. Either way, they are not avaible on any level in the game and as a completionist, you are forced to buy that merch, it's THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, STOP ACTING AS IF IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU GET OTHER STUFF!

Genuine question. If it's the same problem, why is there no forum outrage over the mounts, minions, and attire received from the collector's edition (physical or digital download) and attendance to the fan festival? Why was it okay to sweep those under the rug, and not the handful of minions in the cash shop?

One could argue you're getting something for the physical collector's edition, but what about the digital? You could attend the fan festival for the attire, but you could also get it by paying for the premium stream to see video recordings and information that inevitably ended up on youtube and reddit.

Why was there no outrage over the fact that the soundtracks also included minions?

Should the forums break out into war every time they release merchandise (cash shop or otherwise) that includes some sort of digital in-game counterpart?
