Emotes in the cash shop..

[HKbalmung]

Only thing I have against cash shop is that gold saucer has very little items to obtain when many of the items from the cash shop could be poured into prizes pool. If not end the cash shop maybe just add the items in there also. It's still going to be a grind to obtain everything via gold saucer anyways, so for those who are impatient and must have random said item now can just outright buy it.

As I said in a similar topic earlier:

I will never cease being amazed at how many people gleefully defend being nickeled and dimed on top of paying a subscription fee.

Because we are NOT nickeled and dimend on top of paying a subscription.
The items give no sort of advantage, they are just vanity, you lose NOTHING by not getting them. And if you really really really really want them, you can.

i dont like the cahs shops at all , but as long theres enough people who buy it SE is probably gona put more and more stuff in it.

I'm sorry, let me rephrase, "does not affect progression in any way."

The obvious best choice for players is that they re-release these items on vendors as they did previously there is no player centric reason we should support the removal of this content from the game to be placed behind a paywall.

If that's the case, you might as well get rid of the whole cash shop completely and sell the entire selection on the vendor as well. Since there's no reason we should have anything behind a paywall.

I missed the event as well, but I don't mind paying 1.15 for an emote that came out a year ago. Square Enix comes out with something new with every one of their seasonal events and only sells the content that has already passed. I don't think it's unreasonable for us to pay such a measly amount to get a vanity item. If it helps motivate them to keep up with the releasing of new content, I'm all for it.

Every item in the cash shop is already in the game. The money you spend on it simply "unlocks" the item for your use. Meaning: your subscription fee already paid for the creation of the item, it's already been bought and paid for with the sub fee.

Paying a dollar here, a dollar there to unlock something already in the game is the very definition of "nickel and dimed".

i think the motivation for SE to release new content should be to keep the players subscribed XD

And here is the design catch of a cash shop. You become more concerned about getting people to spend money in the shop, and less concerned about player retention through subs.

Vanity is content, content shouldn't be sold in a P2P game.

It's in the game, it's content, simple as is, WE ARE being nickeled and dimend.

You know, I don't mind the Cash shop as long as it's original and otherwise unobtainable whatever being sold in it. The second the item was at one point available for free in game I'm not a fan. It means SE doesn't even have to bother to make new content for the cash shop, they can always wait for the next event and "New Cash shop items available!".

Maybe if they had it on the cash shop year round while during that event it'd be available for gil in some event vendor I'd be fine, but that's not how the situation is.

That's still terrible, STOP FORGETTING YOU'RE PAYING MONTHLY FOR A GAME, for goodness sake.
