Emotes in the cash shop..

[Lyaha]

This also a way to reward players that play the game since longer than you do.

Reward players..? Are you high?

"Let's reward players by having them give us more money for content that could be used to.. well.. provide gameplay!" Great logic there.

As for the argument 'other companies did it as well!' umm.. screw Blizzard, I know full well they're at fault for this entire cash shop in sub based games problem, idiot WoW players accepted being screwed over by purchasing 20 euro mounts.

Your post is a troll, you don't even read the posts correctly. Rewarded player are not the ones that pay to get items via the shop, but the ones who get them for free during the events. Screw Blizzard ? they are not alone, far from that. And SE do not do prices as expensive as they do. You don't have any arguments to explain but your anger.

You provide game play with "yukata" ? tell me what is the definition of gameplay pls. Buy a dictionary. This stuff is pure cosmetic and don't add any gameplay, maybe, at most some more stuff to do RP, that's all.

You think of it completely wrong.

It is "Let's reward the players that actually play then by giving them something special".

I was really bummed out that I couldn't participate in last year's event, but ohey! I can buy the cute Yukatas and the bomb dance emote now!

I don't understand the people in this thread who already have the content. You have the content, you don't need to buy them again. Sorry that your emotes and yukatas doesn't make your account any more of a special snowflake than the next player. At least SE didn't put the earlier Yukatas for sale.

I, for one, am quite happy purchasing from the Cash Shop. I see shinies, I buy. You don't do what I do? Who cares? Anything to help SE to make a European Data Center, after all.

Maybe you can read it this way better:

"You have participated in the event? Fine, here are your event items as a rewards. And as a bonus you can buy the gears from the calamity NPC for some gil later, if you lose your rewards. Also, here are some achievements for you."

"You haven't participated in the event? Bad for you."
