Cash shop and the situation with the game.

[Kuwagami]

Never in my OP i claimed it's making people quit. You keep making stuff up and reading what you want. You pretty much are talking to yourself.
I just made an argument about how it takes away from the game and makes stuff less rewarding.

If it doesn't make people quit, how it is bad for the game exactly ?
(and "bad for the game" is straight up what you said in your 2nd post)

Bad for your envy for Sleipnir and Scions outfit maybe, but for the game ? err, nope.

But there is also no proof that the game having a cash shop attracts people to the game more than not having it.

This is so irrelevant to the subject you actually made me laugh. Good one
If the cash shop doesn't make people quit, then its existence is not a problem even if it doesn't attract new players.

and seriously, most of your posts are Ad Hominem, hasty generalizations or burden of proof reversal... How about you back up your claims at least once instead of forever dodging the fact that you have nothing ?

Hell we have often reached a point with the current update and game model where players are sitting on their thumbs with little incentive to play the game asides the current raid tier. These items/minions/dyes/costumes could be used to encourage and reward players to keep playing. In turn reducing the ammount of players who sub for a update cycle and unsub until the next update (This is a big issue for them currently and the terrible padding of content shows it.)

So instead of aiming for quick cash grabs, they could use this content to help generate more consistent cashflow from their playerbase. But instead of do that they cut content from the game for quick gains.

It's short sighted and not looking after the welfare of the game. It gives pause to how invested in the future of the game the developers actually are or if they are just trying to get as much cash as fast as possible.
