Cash shop things

[Anatha]

And you think that's the only thing up for sale?

<checks mogstation> Yup!

Why are you guys asking them to make you pay for things that should already be in the game? What is wrong with you?

(emphasis added)

Why are you assuming, with every other piece of content that they release, that those are Square's priority to put into the game?

Because our subscriptions are literally funding the development of the game and future content. It's what we're paying for. If it's developed for the game and isn't part of an expansion, we're entitled to it by paying our subscription. That's literally what a subscription is for, and has been for.

I highlighted the problem. No, you aren't.

Your subscription doesn't mean that Square has to make every ounce of vanity content in the game. You're assuming that that content wouldn't still be unfinished/buried if it wasn't for the cash shop.

Extra inventory space. Hell that's a cash shop staple in the typical F2P paywall realm if ever there was one.

We've got it here. No problem with that? I feel like that Hana vomit.gif is going to see a lot of use from me in the coming months.

No problem with it at all. I'm not sure how someone who ends up being the fantasy version of a hoarder equates with being pay to win.

You have absolutely no idea just how wrong and delusional you are.

Does S-E pay you to defend their greedy and immoral business practices here or do you do it for free?

Oh my dear god the entitlement. IMMORAL? Putting things in a cash shop is IMMORAL?!? This thread is flat out looney.

It's more looney when you realize that the outcome that they're hoping for isn't going to happen. Or if it does, it will have zero to do with their responses.

Yes this is a feedback loop to development, but 1) The arguments have become so riddled with hyperbole and attacks that they probably won't take them seriously (A previous thread had a person saying that they should harass people who bought content from the cash shop - classy stuff and a ban-able offense as harassing players is a no-no) and 2) it's not the most critical feedback that the developers are receiving.

What matters now is the revenue. If the number of players using the cash shop supports it's continued existence then it will continue. If not, then they'll adjust strategies with it. No amount of them tilting windmills in the forums will affect the result.
