New Mogstation Items (Magitek mount recolours inc.)

[Colorful]

I wouldn't be surprised if the dyes sold poorly, for one they're metallic and look bad on almost every piece of armour that isn't metallic and purchasing limited dyes is silly concept to me. Even in a free to play game you buy them once and you have the dye unlocked permanently, just one more way for SE to clutter our inventory.

If you have the know how you could scan the Lodestone for characters with the Sleipnir mount and get a number, but let's assume the player base is at 600k players and 5% of players own it, that's still 3 quarters of a million on something that took them 5 minutes of tinkering with development tools. They're releasing mounts because they're very profitable and for minimal amounts of work, should they be obtainable in game? Yes (as long as it isn't something absurd like 1m MGP), but will they? No, not from what I've seen. But all the new mount models (other than Sleipnir) have been released in game, SE hasn't crossed the line quite yet.

Protesting against those issues won't help unless we unsubscribe in mass, and I see that you're still subscribed. Yoshida clearly wants the resources to further his project, but the higher ups want to gouge the profits and use them for other projects or profits. As it stands, it's working. They're not investing more into FFXIV and yet, I'm still giving them my money, you're still giving them your money, every protestor here is giving them their money. It's hypocritical to say the least, I dislike the direction the cash shop is going in and yet I think about spending money on there, you dislike the server limitations and yet you're paying money for these awful servers. What does that say? That everything is fine, money talks, and you're not talking (but hey, neither am I).

Besides the fact that I have wavered on my subscription before instead of being a constant subscriber?

I pay for what I feel is a fair value, the base subscription does that just fine, it doesn't mean I don't feel it could be far better. I don't purchase from the cash shop because it is not worth my investment, the game as a whole? Perhaps if they continue down the path they are going I will vote with my wallet and leave. Money isn't the only thing that talks, but I'll leave it at that. It's not just a mass player exodus that would change their tune.

Okay. I've been gone from the game a good while, but..... when did they start letting people who make sense on the forums? Surely you will be hunted down by the moderators and made to suffer for this.

On a second note. As I said, I've been gone from the game a while, and it's crap like this cash shop that makes me want to abandon it again. Get your collective head, out of your rear SE.
