Emotes in the cash shop..

People need to understand this is a business. SE is a company and all companies wants to get profits and max all their profits whenever they see an opening. Vanity in our life IS NOT important BUT we DESIRE it and WANT it. If you want to rebel/uprise against an idea, you need to look for people with your same principals and group and say to the company what you will do if something is not changed.

I say make a petition and look for signatures and send a business mail/email. If they don't listen to you and the rest of the ppl it means, they don't see enough menace to their strategies to make them stop what they are doing and they are actually getting a positive response from their consumers.

People need to understand this is a business.

People need to understand that viruses infect us to recreate. Viruses exist to recreate and make us ill in the process and like all living things they want to do so optimally. Therefore, you should not go to a doctor to stop these viruses from inconveniencing you for a few days or weeks during which you are sick. After all, that's what viruses exist for, it is their nature. So do not blame them for it or rebel against it. Companies exist to make money. Viruses exist to make us sick. Live and let live. Do not complain. Pay money in the cash shop and let viruses make you sick. After all, that's what they exist for, and that excuses them from inconveniencing their customers or hosts.

"Companies exist to make money," is not a good argument. Ever. Yeah, they exist to make money. Doesn't mean they have to slap us all around to knock every last penny from our pockets or that we should just stand by and let them do it when they do. After all, you don't stop going to a doctor when a virus makes you sick, do you? When a terrorist walks in to blow you up, do you shrug and go "oh well, that's what they exist for, can't complain about it"? I should think not. o.o

Do you even understand the stuff that's coming outa you?

Why should they not charge money on an old vanity thing? Its their game they don't even have to bring the old event items back but they know people want them yes so they figured hey why not have these available all year long and people can just buy it when ever. Seams a lot better than waiting a whole year for the same event that may not even give the same items.

Yes they want to make money so what that's the practice of every business they put optional stuff on the cash shop that you don't even need you don't need the old event stuff you don't need the wedding plan that gives you a 2 seater mount you don't need to change your race you don't need those cool metallic dyes you don't need any of the stuff on the cash shop.

I mean come on if you have such problems don't buy from them. I swear people are just selfish this whole thread disgusts me. Unless a piece of vanity costs over $100 and they start outing the best end game gear in which will necmver happan but if it dose then we riot. Till then shut it your all horrible people now good day.

I don't recall SE ever making people buy things from the Mogstation. Like, the only thing I've bought (aside from Fantasia's, which was heavily requested) was the wedding stuff and that was to cheer a friend up. Other than that, I've not bought anything ever since. Most, if not, all items on the Mogstation are just for (missed seasonal) glamour purposes as well as a guarantee that all future seasonal events will have something new to offer.

Extra services that offer no real advantage within the game are completely optional. You don't have to buy anything you don't want and no one is going to force you to do so. If other people want to pay more money to receive these additional and optional services, it is because if they perceive them as “valuable” enough to spend more of their real money on acquiring it. Who are you to call the exchange illegitimate/evil/immoral?

Well, the discussion is items, not services. But given that, the entire game is completely optional. But it's a game we're already paying for. The illegitimate part is asking people to pay again for something they've already bought and paid for. As a sub-based game, we're already paying for the entire thing. That includes all its items just the same as it includes all its quests and dungeons. Once we've bought the game and paid our subscription fees, everything the game offers should be available to get or unlock from within the game.

(Extra services like character transfer are a different issue, as that's not part of the game itself.)

Some people think it doesn't matter if we're cheated out of money so long as the amount of money is small enough to not have much impact on their personal budgets. Other people think the very act of cheating players out of money (by charging twice for the same thing in this case) is offensive regardless of whether the amount is significant or not. (It's sort of like people who don't think shoplifting minor cheap items counts as "real" theft.)
