I want an official response.

The MAJORITY of the player base plays the game to progress through the story and dungeons. A small minority is heavily into crafting and to an even smaller degree is the vanity crowd. SE will always cater to the majority as that is where the profit lies.

No one is forcing people to buy these items. People buy these items because they have the money to buy them and they want them. Quite honestly SE could expand the cash shop to include X amount of gil and items and I would be fine with that to.

Well being? How does a VIDEO GAME affect anyone's well being?! There are plenty of other games out there, y'know, although most of them have add-on features these days - even singleplayer games have DLC (some of them even have on-disc DLC that some say by all rights should be available for free). If you 're not willing to put up with it, you're not just down a game, you're down a hobby. Hell, if I refused to deal with every company I disagreed with, I'd probably starve to death. A few items of subjective quality in a niche-genre game is small potatoes compared to a lot of shit out there. And in this case I'm at least free to walk away if I ever change my mind.

The MAJORITY

Again, your only argument is that we shouldn't care because other people don't.

"Why do you care that all those innocent people died? The majority doesn't care, it doesn't effect them, or their lives."

I know that this is taking it to an extreme, but it's the same type of principal.

Are you comparing digital minions and mounts to the death of innocent people?

Are you illiterate? Did you not read what I said right below it?

I did read below it, it doesn't make your statement any less offensive.

I don't understand why you (cash shop defenders) are accepting of Square-Enix taking advantage of you, and abusing you as a customer.

Why do you tolerate it? Why do you let them walk all over you? Why don't you stand up for yourselves?

Because we aren't being taken advantage of or being abused. That is just the truth of it. Why is it you feel oppressed and mistreated?

It's funny how lots of people say "deal with it and if you don't like leave" or "leave! good riddance"....kinda like what SE defenders said all the time in 1.0.....it didn't end well.....

Any serious company will tell you how valuable and hard to get customer feedback is....and you don't keep good feedback while ignoring negative feedback.

Offensive? Literally how? It's not like I singled out some actual tragic incident.
