Emotes in the cash shop..

Uh. What? No, not by my logic at all. Only by your twisted mind. Alex Savage is a raid. If people want Alex Savage drops, they can run the content in-game. I doubt the raid will be going anywhere.

The holiday items, on the other hand, were previously available for gil. And then SE removed them. Seriously. Why is this so hard to understand?

And the seasonal events are limited time content with exclusive items.

The items were originally only available by participating in the events. When the season came around again, SE sold some of the old items for gil. Players who had done the event and were told that the items were exclusive to the event pointed out the mistake to SE. So as a compromise, SE is offering them for real money.

Nothing wrong with it at all.
