Cash shop things

[Teryaani]

We haven't received anything extra in the cash shop we wouldn't have received already. Your argument holds water like a sieve. Everything was JUST fine prior to its introduction.

Hell we even have an Odin trial coming that could have easily dropped the horse. A mount that was designed and included in the game's files for months before the cash shop showed up.

And it's fine now. Those things weren't in the game and they probably still wouldn't be. Also, just because it's datamined doesn't mean it's ready or working or anything more than a model or a placeholder.

Your right Odin could only change into whatever race defeated him last and ride his mount on any payable race. It's not like they had all that information in the game allready or anything you know?

and that means that the mount model is available in game for player use? Oh right, it doesn't.

You know, if you stay bent over like that all the time, you'll develop scoliosis. It's not a laughing matter.

Right, so no actual substantive response. Figured as much.

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?

Or I am a realist that understands how business works and can recognize when I'm seeing knee jerk reactions and hyperbole.

No point in talking with them they hate the cash shop and always will and will bash anyone who want's to use it

[Amused]

and that means that the mount model is available in game for player use? Oh right, it doesn't.

Of course it wasn't available for player use, but it very easily could have been and would likely take only a few minutes to make happen seeing as how ALL of the work was already done for it.

and you accuse me of not understanding development?

You may understand how business works, but you clearly don't understand how game development works. Just because a business' number one priority is making money doesn't mean they should do it at the expense of their reputation and fans.

I'm going to go on a limb and say that I do understand how development works seeing that I'm a on a development team. I'm not seeing this doing any damage to their fans or their reputation at this point.

[Amused]

and you accuse me of not understanding development?

You clearly don't if you think it would take any substantial amount of time or effort to make an item out of something that already exists in a complete form within the game.

[Amused]

Except that it doesn't exist in a useable form in the game. It exists as 3D model for that mob/fate. Is it a shorter time as some of the model work is done? Yes. Does that mean that porting that 3D model into a player useable mount is easy?

It was literally already compatible with ALL THE RACES.

Assigning a model to an item takes an incredibly miniscule amount of time.

[Amused]

I'm sure he does. Show me where I said I did.

I didn't say you did.

I was poking fun at your statement "I'm a on a development team" because it says nothing to me, and for all I know you could just be lying. I'm not saying that you are lying, because you could very well be telling the truth. It's just that throwing that out there like that in no way gave you more credibility than you had beforehand. Based on what you've said so far I'm still convinced that you have no idea what you're talking about.

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

It most certainly is immoral when we're already paying them for the game itself, and each month following to continue developing the game.

Cool, my dad works for Final Fantasy too.
