Pre-emptive "I told you so" regarding the cash shop.

[XgungraveX]

Allow me to tell you a story.

nah i have a better one...Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air......

It's also not technically pay to win, even though someone could take that gil and buy

.....

maps for alexandrite

How would they do that? Did they add some new way to get maps?

I'm having a blast trying to sell marriage bracelets on Tonberry. If anyone's interested, let me know.

The more they release unpolished goods for cash, fatter everyone's virtual wallet will be.

And break the economy while you're at it.

But where were you born? Where did you spend most of your days?

And break the economy while you're at it.

All it is doing is moving gil between players. Its not taking or adding anything to server wealth.

And break the economy while you're at it.

I am not betraying the economy. Economy betrayed me first when it omitted Tomato Relish from this patch's artisan spectacles price change and subsequently killed my Tomato business. The price is halved, HALVED!!

Damn it SE if you do this to me I'll do the same to you by doing things you don't want me to do!!

-Quotes myself from another thread-

Sorry for my ignorant post but since when did gil give the necessary skill required to do anything? Since when was being server first Zodiac Relic actually important? And since when did gil actually matter? Sure you can say "materia" and "buying those fancy crafted armors" but they're not better than things you can earn ingame, I suppose you need skill for that but again, buying gear doesn't give you skill automatically, so I'm entirely lost on how any of this matters. :S

Again sorry for my ignorance but I really don't see the problem, maybe if someone explained it to me..

It seems that complaining about the cash shop on the forums is the only kind of end-game these people are interested in.

It hasn't made any impact on your gameplay, you haven't been forced into buying anything. Weddings are still free and the color of dyes isn't gonna make it or break it for anyone.

Anyway enjoy your pointless banter over nothing.

Maybe instead of whining on the forums, we should ask people in game what they feel about this. So far between my FC and random people I talk to in the street/in duties, most don't really care or are not bothered by the cash shop.
