Eastern Cherry Trees

I would absolutely not be okay with items like this being put on the mogstation. It would be unfair to make them untradable, but it would basically be SE-condoned RMT to allow them to be.

The best option would be to either

A. make them available every year during the event, which would keep matketboard prices lucrative but reasonable, since if they're ridiculous the buyers could just wait for the next time the event rolled around.
or
B. Add them to the Calamity Salvager like the old Christmas gear and, which would keep the prices lower due to a constant, infinite supply being available.

The goal needs to be finding ways to keep these items available in a way that moves the game's economy rather than circumvents it.

Put it on the Mog Station. I'd rather SE earned money from it and cycled it back into making the game great, than leaving it as this limited item that's in high demand but will never be given more supply. It's just a waste of assets. Even if it was $1 a tree on the Mog Station, SE would be making a pretty penny.

Their version of reasonable pricing and yours are very different. Add about $14 on to that.

I don 'to see why it shouldn't be put on mogstation, other seasonal event items do after a year. If they put these in too, it wouldn't really be anything new, and the price range for old seasonal stuff is typically a bit lower than non-seasonal items.

Only the outfits for characters & chocobos. The seasonal housing items do not.

IMO the failure is they changed it to market sellable after the event.

I said, 'Even if.' I have no doubt they'd be higher, but $15 seems far too much for a housing item. A full set of gear on the mog station goes for about that much. I could see the trees going for $5 realistically.

That was kind of my point, though... ?

I don't see why the seasonal housing items shouldn't be treated like the seasonal outfits/bardings and put on the cash shop alongside them for around $5 or so, give or take a couple dollars.

That's how much the current housing items in the cash shop are. I agree it's too much, but if you ask for them to go on the cash shop then know it's not likely going to be in a price range you deem reasonable.

Those function differently and are bound to your character. I know they already have items in the cash shop already for housing which they seem to be testing the waters with. They don't want people buying/selling the cash shop items in game and that's going to be a mess with two different items (if they change the cash shop version id/bind it) that are the same.

They can't put the same tree in the mogstation, it's a tradeable item (nothing you buy on the mogstation right now is tradeable except the wedding package, although they might have fixed that?). They'd have to release it as a modified different item that looked similar otherwise there would be people offering gil for a gift purchase (obviously less than it costs now on market board, but essentially a legalised RMT)

Please buy mine first though

Make it a pastel yellow (or blue) flower rather than pink....for the MogStation one that is.

That's not a failure, it's an opportunity. If people purchase several event items either to speculate or because they feel that in future they will want/need them, and then subsequently it becomes a sell-able item, so be it. Sure people can sell them at a good profit, but that's the ups and downs of the market. The same item may never become sell-able, so active speculation is risky, as it should be.
