    Furniture being in the cash shop is fine, I don't think that's an issue tbh. That being said however, $5/$15 is a little excessive. The closest similarity to this I can think of is in SWTOR, they sell furnishings in the cash shop to, but similar items in that game are something like 1-3$ or less at most.

    It is in a game with monthly sub. We pay for the game, we pay the sub, and now we have to pay for the extra thing that should be included in the game...
    I'm not against paying a sub in ordre to have quality, as I'm not against using the cash shop in a F2P game to support the dev team and get some extras BUT, I'm clearly against doing BOTH !
    Of course i'm not forced to buy them but glamour and furniture today....raid stuff and mémo tomorow....

    WildStar, and I believe Rift as well, both have housing stuff in their cash shops. In fact, I'm guessing most games that have personal housing and a cash shop sell furnishings in their shops.

    Those games also have the ability for ALL players to have a real house. In fact Rift GIVES you a free starter home and a few items for it just for reaching level 6 and doing a small quest. I mean look at the hoops we have to jump through just to get a room with a free company house.

    And this is from a free to play game...honestly, I expected better from SE and a pay to play game.

    Yeah, I'm not saying I agree with it. I was just pointing out that where there's personal housing and cash shops there are things in the shops for said housing.

    Also, WildStar gives you a free plot as well, at level 14, with some initial stuff to put in it

    "B-b-but...it's not final fantasy!" or something like that. Frankly I did say this to several people and the response was "This housing system is far better and works as intended". Of course if they mean "constant lack of plots and 45 days reclaim" as "Working as intended" then I'm sure they're right.

    I mean I quit SWTOR a year ago and when I went back to my old house it was still there, with everything I left from last time. If i leave here for barely 2 months I lose everything I worked so hard for. Sure at least I get a refund but come on, way to ruin your time by coming back and seeing your house gone! I'm sure they knew that the lack of content would've made people leave so here I am, unable to unsub for more than 1 month without risking to lose my house.

    And I also played Wildstar and that housing was such a good thing there. And yes, if I quit for a long time I can still come back and find everything I left just there untouched. Way to go!

    So yeah, on top of having badly implemented housing, lack of plots and a housing reclaim that essentially forces you to stay subbed, now we have items that we must pay with real money AND they can be easily lost by just removing them...I wouldn't complain if they were a buck or two but come on, 10 euros?
