Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

I have a question for you all...seriously I would like to hear whatpeople have to say.

I understand is important for some of you to RP which I would like to do too but I am not good enough, anyway, I understand as well that some of you want to *get married* either because of RP or because is something you want to transpose from reality to virtuality fine by me...but frankly...do you really need a ceremony to formalize this? you know buying a house can be done independent of the marriage, it can be done with money one of you buy and you both live there, you can share the same house, share things as ify ou were married you can organize even a ceremony where you invite people you dont need it to be under the *marriage* thing that the game will propose.

Seriously, you all want this because of the perks for no other reasons you all complain bcause of the perks, because NOTHING prevents anyone from doing the marriage as it is today or live together or organize ceremonies, meetings or what not.

So why the hell is cash shop such a problem since you can have the same without paying ?

Ohh you want the horse and etc etc etc..why ? because is cool? why do you find such a crime because the others can have it and not you??? jealous ?

No seriously why making a big fuss over something so trivial ?

Nothing prevents you to RP a married couple as it is today....so?

Is how the experience is being delivered really. Thats the whole point here... On that argument of if really marriage is needed here... I could say, damn, we better move to a game with better and free marriage? (which are in the thousands btw). So, that actually doesn`t cover the point. The thing is, marriage, the eternal bond is an experience, and as a normal marriage, the dress, the decoration, the transport, is all part of the experience. If this was real life, i would accept i can`t have the 500.000 dollars wedding with VIP coming at it. But this is a game, and is exactly why this is bad.

The experience here should be the same for everyone. Not be divided by wallet.

1. Just because something is in the database doesn't mean we will get it.
2. Your opinion about the wedding service is simply that, an opinion. (Just like mine.)
3. I haven't bought anything from the cash shop. (Before someone labels me as "supporter".)
4. Titan was in the database in 1.0 for over a year. Guess what? We didn't get until 2.0 lol.
5. There may be another Odin mount that we get. (With a super dark glow and smoke coming from it via primal fight.)
6. None of these will change your, or our opinion so there is no real point in this thread.

1.- Actually, no, but it means it was meant to be in game and for some reason isn`t, like, the hundreds of materials just for example.
2.- My opinion is actually based on the fact that, no one wants to play watered down experiences, which is what the "free" wedding is.
3.- I have bought retainer services. IM A TOTAL SUPPORTER OF A TRUE AND GOOD CASH SHOP, NOT THE ONE WE HAVE.
4.- As most materials, damn, there is maybe even Heavensward things on the data bases already. Lots of content doesn`t make it to the game.
5.- I hope it does, the ideal would be that everything on the cash shop was be able to be got in game too and the other way too, like the nightmare mounts.
6.- It might, and even if there is just 1 person between all the thousands that will read this thread and "meh" about it, that alone makest it worth every single keystroke.

If your goal is to gather all the minions and mounts you don't want to be gated because of a cash shop, would you want your favorite activity to be gated by a cash shop ?

I wouldnt care...this is a game, it doesnt matter really what I want is ..can I get it and at what cost if it costs me money I wont be interested in paying can I have that by not paying if yes then so I am.. if no..well then I will decide if I can stay in the game and dont care about it or is such a big fuss to me that I need to leave the game altogether.

The point is..you can get the bond equally done, with some imagination...paying is only optional..and if you cant then dont do it simple.

A big fuss over this is just dumb

Now this just looks like people are looking for excuses to complain about this.

[Alexander_Dragonfang]

That is legitimate. Not everyone plays this game for raids and high end gear. Some do them for several things being hyped over the past years as Housing and Marriage. Social gamers and RPers are also gamers, customers and their way of playing and the content they enjoy is not "optional".

Then just simply make it to get all the mounts and minions that are available in the game without cash shopping. Would the same apply for the people that can't get the mount that 1.0 players got when they switched over to 2.0?

heh, they're justifying their rant on the fact that NOW they can never get ALL the mounts/minions, when in fact they COULDN'T if they weren't 1.0 players.

But you know, terrible logic is terrible, and they feel more cheated by extra fluff obtainable by cash than by unobtainable fluff by any existing means.

The more I read these threads, the more I laugh at how pointless some arguments are.

I have a question for you all...seriously I would like to hear whatpeople have to say.

... do you really need a ceremony to formalize this? you know buying a house can be done independent of the marriage, it can be done with money one of you buy and you both live there, you can share the same house, share things as if you were married...


Mei

Actually no. We can buy houses seperately, but not share it, I can't use anything in my friends house. So I would expect this to be possible when "bonded" in the game though...
I do get your point thought... I still love the thought of getting married in the game, I don't even RP either. But I've been playing online with a very special person for over 3 years now, and I think it would just be really nice to celebrate it with this eternal bond. I wouldn't need the ceremony, the official invitations etc. I do however would like mount and minion to just show that it did happen...

Aside from that I do also wish they wouldn't make a premium version of the whole thing... just because it's simply not nice to separate between rich and poor in games.
