[Spoiler] The Rising Mogstation Update

[Welsper59]

All they need are enough people to buy the item to cover the cost of developing the art assets or whatever for it. In my experience, that is not a huge amount of money. If only 1,000 people bought cash shop stuff at SE's prices it would still turn a profit, and 1,000 players is like .2% of the playerbase. Meanwhile, the other 499,000 don't like the shop but don't unsub over it, so the shop is "profitable", thus the shop stays. But if 50,000 people cared enough to unsubscribe over it, then the executives at SE might re-think their addition of it.

Do you understand the point I'm trying to make with this? It doesn't take a huge number of people buying Mogstation stuff for the store to be "worth SE's time". Someone even posted a Lodestone scrape that PROVED that not many people were buying the Mogstore stuff (highest was EB with like 11% of players buying at least the $10 version), and yet they keep adding more and more crap to it.

Yeah, you kinda hit the nail on the head with that. The person you quoted is right, but in an unfortunately unrealistic way. It is voting with your wallet to not buy from a cash shop, but it doesn't need many buyers to prove itself profitable.

It's sort of like RMT on that matter, where while a significantly large majority of the player population do not participate in it, the fact that they spend little to no money being around is enough for them to justify their presence from a handful of buyers.

If you buying it once is too much for them to handle, I should probably not mention how I had to buy two of the Y'shtola sets because I wanted the outfit pieces on one character for glamour, but the hairstyle for a different character who I'd wanted it on forever... and also bought the Thancred set just for the hairstyle.

Bless you're little heart. The vanity struggle is real!

I bought it and I'm slightly satisfied. But I'd like to point that:

Dear SE, if we're going to pay $15 for cosmetics from now on, at least make it dyeable. It's the same price as the Lightning/Snow outfits, it gives us a hairstyle and it also comes with mix&match pieces. There's no excuse for the outfits to be non-dyeable. If you can spend time working on 50+ shades for a hairstyle + adjustments for all the races and genders you can as well put the same effort into making the gear itself dyeable. It's our money, so take into consideration the customer's opinions on that matter.

If it's not "free" or obtainable simply through playing the game, then make it worth the 15 bucks you're charging for it.

Saito is correct. The ban is also permanent. She has been sending in a new ticket every time SE Support replies to her old one, but she hasn't gotten anything other than the same robot response. She did try calling them too, I don't remember what they said off the top of my head, but it didn't get us anywhere.

She does still read the forums everyday, though. So she's still here, she just can't say anything herself. I do make most of my posts on her behalf, but I know it's not the same.

Did she never get a warning for previous instances of breaking rules?

If not perma-ban seems a bit severe. If she was warned before then in my view she got what she deserved for ignoring rules.

it's 'your' not 'you're'. (i'm sorry, biggest pet peeve of mine ._.)

Crip crap. I'm normally good about that, too. I can't even correct it on mobile!

Since when can't you edit on mobile? Works fine for me.

Well, the mobile version doesn't have an edit button. You have to switch over to using full version on mobile devices to get that, and the mobile version is much easier to read on phones and such so people don't always want to do that.
