Emotes in the cash shop..

[Niwashi]

Festival items should be available in-game during their associated season/event, and it should be every time that season comes around, not just the first year the item is added. It's ok to have them in the cash shop the rest of the year for players who are too impatient to wait for the corresponding festival to come around again, but they should never be relegated to becoming cash shop exclusives.

Just so SE doesn't think that everyone is having some silly drama over this, I personally and those I personally know are totally okay with putting PAST event items/emotes in the cash shop. People are just looking for reasons to complain and hate something, it doesn't matter what SE does or doesn't do some group of people will always find a reason to feel hurt over something. If you missed the event its on the shop, if you can't currently afford the cost save up, budget up and buy it if it is that big a deal to you. Also.. most of the people I know and myself included have been around here for a while and did last years summer event.. guess what... we didn't want the emote then. We still don't want it now, some of my friends have it and it doesn't bother the rest of us in the least.

Stop making everything into some big tinfoil hat drama. Open your eyes.. let the common sense in, please..

I'll go on record saying that if you couldn't get it in the game at some point it probably shouldn't be in the cash shop. I don't see how it's a bad idea to open up the rewards for old content that will never be seen again to new and returning players.

Because the old content was seen again for over a year. SE used to put all old holiday rewards on the holiday vendor.

maybe they will add new content next year sooo yeah besides those outfit were pretty easy to get i could get a yukata even being a level 1

If that's not a crazy investment above what they've been doing before, then I don't know what would be.

Yes you're right, something that even the most shoddy piece of F2P crap manage to have available on launch took SE several years before even considering truly a gift from the gods of cash shops. The fact that anyone could even consider seeing this as something good from the cash shop and not SE realizing they needed to rectify an utterly disgraceful service is disturbing.

I don't know about you guys. But I would really pay for a /facepalm emote. I can't count how often I want to use one in game.

Also I would like to add they used to put old items back into new events, there was a thread a lot larger then this one about people complaining about how they didn't like that and would rather see new items.

I don't remember that thread at all, and what's more, that's a nonsensical argument. Would rather see new items? We DID get new items, in addition to the old ones. There is literally no way to lose with that model.

Its ok if you don't remember it happening its been just about a year since it happened, that doesn't take away from it happening though just because you want to pretend it didn't. Also yes that was the main point, people wanted to stop seeing old items in new events. Yes I do realize there were SOME old items in the last event however not all of them were there, but don't sit there acting as if everything from last summer event was obtainable via this event, because you know very well it wasn't. The current model is fine, putting on the cash shop once the event passes is also fine.

Getting overly emotional over an event item you failed to obtained is just odd, then being so attached to it that you can't be bothered to spend whatever the two - five dollars that your currency deems it to be is also odd. Its as if people put on blinders and suddenly go crazy over cosmetic items being a cash shop.

but don't sit there acting as if everything from last summer event was obtainable via this event, because you know very well it wasn't.

From the first holiday event in 2.0 (Moonfire Faire 2013) up through Moonfire Faire 2014, ALL old event items were on the vendor in ADDITION to new items. I am not "acting as if" anything. I am telling you literally how it used to be. There was nothing wrong with that model. Then SE decided to remove some things and stick them on the cash shop - that is where my objection comes in. We had a system that worked perfectly, and they messed it up.

That is kinda the point I am trying to get you to see. People who played this game suggested the current model by complaining about the old model. You get what you ask for. Mind you, I know you yourself probably didn't ask for this, I don't remember who all replied on that thread but it was just.. way to many people all expressing their hate of the old system. It seems SE took it and changed it according to what the players wanted. No matter what though you can't make everyone happy they can only strive to make the majority happy, and you can't judge that based off the forums.

Sorry I removed some of your quote but I did read the whole thing! Just didn't want to have to edit the post is all.

Edited: Guess I had to after all hah. Anyways I just wanted to say it was nice chatting with you, I am going back to playing I rarely visit the forums but this is something I wanted to bring to light and also bring to light my opinion on it. Take care.
