Dev Request: Sell the Lightning event items on Mogstation!

[ZodiacSoldier]

I think they aren't in the cash shop because SE will have the event again. The things in the cash shop are usually stuff from past events that can no longer be obtained.

And others have mentioned that Lightning Return is going to be released on the PC, so the event will probably be around that time.

In what way does items that are completely unnecessary which are also completely optional affect anyone who doesn't want said items? It doesn't, and no amount of stamping your feet and demanding that your precious status items not be made available to others will change that fact.

Er. 1. You can't discount the people it would affect in order to try and claim it doesn't affect anyone. and 2. I don't care about other people getting items I already have; I care about how they get them. In other words, I want them available in-game, not in a cash shop.

You've been asked multiple times to show exactly how it would affect anyone who had no desire to have said items and you still haven't, yet keep claiming that the way I spend money affects you in some negative way.

That's a complete BS thing to ask. Of COURSE no one who wants an item would be affected by it, for crying out loud. But you're deliberately discounting the people who DO want to obtain the item. I have said repeatedly that those are the people it would affect.

I'm asking for realistic way for people to obtain the items, you keep demanding that no one be able to obtain them unless they're handed out for free. Logically you're asking for something you know (as would any reasonable adult) isn't going to happen while claiming that people shouldn't have access to the item if they didn't do the event. So again, I ask you, how does how I and others spend our money negatively affect you in any way?

Lightning Strikes events and other limited time item rewards are created in addition to the usual patch cycles, developed using money from players paying their subscriptions. We've already paid them to generate these items and events. I'm not averse to people having chances to obtain said items, but I would much rather see them offered as in game rewards, be it at a special vendor or by offering another chance at the event, so that new players have both a chance to acquire cool items and participate in unique events and maybe whet their appetite for future events to come, rather than just throw money in the cash shop for something that has already been paid for and developed.

While a fair point, this topic isn't about the cash shop itself or anyone's opinion of it. It's about the only realistic way to request items from previous events that are no longer obtainable, which has been proven as the case with the Minifilia minion and the old Moonfire items. Again, this is about the items, not in any way about the cash shop or your opinion in it.

So you are against the opportunity to obtain the items in the game? That's what I proposed.

[Zari]

I think they arent in the cash shop because they might be planning on having the event again? If i remember correctly, the Lightning event has already happened multiple times, once a year. Tbh they could be having it an annual thing.

Oh for... We pay a sub. NOTHING is handed out for free. I am asking that SE treat this like a sub game instead of a F2P one.
