Dev Request: Sell the Lightning event items on Mogstation!

[Sakuraluna]

I'm gonna say no to the cash shop thing. I'm not opposed to them bringing the event back as long as there is a valid reason to do so (PC/steam release for instance), but give players the opportunity to experience the event and earn them, if SE chooses to bring it back.

[Attarik]

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

No, I'm against not being able to obtain items at all.

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.

Again, paying for a sub no longer means you're entitled to be handed everything, you're only argument remains to be against the cash shop and again, this is not about the cash shop which is certainly here to stay, so adjust to it and move along to troll another thread. Thank you.

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.

No, I'm against not being able to obtain items at all. Don't try to change your original argument to make it sound like you're in favor of giving players items after several pages of saying nobody who didn't do the event is entitled to them.

Right. Good day to you.

[Attarik]

Right. Good day to you.

Thank you kindly, move along to complain about the cash shop elsewhere.

Just because I disagree with you regarding a cash shop does not mean I am "trolling". And just because you say something, doesn't make it fact, nor does it give your strawmen any better frame to support themselves. We should be encouraging SE to add content to the game, not stick it on a cash shop. Period. Asking for it to be put in the game is not asking or it to be "handed" to us. Denying that a subscription entitles us to anything is just as silly as pretending that something doesn't matter because you've oh so conveniently discounted the people to whom it matters.

[Attarik]

Again, this is not about the cash shop or about keeping your items, this is simply a request so keep it civil and on topic and please stop with the long winded rants about the cash shop. It's here to stay and that's just how it is.

I think they should put them in the cash shop for people who missed them.

Should all legacy items be in there as well? Seems fair since people missed 1.0, right?

These aren't legacy items, this isn't that, act like an adult and move on.

Is this post about legacy items? No. It's about FFXIII items. Nice strawman attempt though.
