Mog Station is overpriced.

[Vejjiegirl]

Well, there's a lot of people out there who are going to buy almost every new emote, mount, minion and outfit thrown onto the Mog Station.

Lets not forget the Whales that are eating up dyes and Fantasia constantly, (I have a few friends that do this, almost 100 dollars every two weeks in fantasia like wtf)
Because the Cash shop is popular, prices will get higher and higher because there will always be people(whales) that will just eat things up.

People forget, this was for chinese market and not rest of the world. It was exlusive to chinese market, due to different people behind the game over there. People wanted it so badly and put it up on forums.Too be fair, the prices aren't that bad, consider people got what they wanted and it was never meant to be on mogstation at all.

Anti CS players warned you about that when it began and we were told to shut up because "it's just optional and there is no exclusive content in it".
Now we have exclusive mounts, exclusive glam and look, xp bonuses....
You wanted the CS, so deal with it now -_-

+1 EXACTLY what we were *both* warning when the shop appeared. The tree bears fruit.

The only reason I can think of to justify the price is it being tied to a promotion originally... The people getting it may have had to purchase something to get the outfits and emote, and so we're paying about the same as people had to spend to get them...

stop complaining no one says you have to buy it is there if you want to buy it. remember Square-enix has to pay there bills as well and have money for for content so cut them a break

Inb4 some idiot brings up it's "optional" again, not realizing that whether something is "optional" or not depends entirely on the wants of the individual.

Zojha you nailed it.

We have this thread every time they add something new to Mogstation.

Yeah, because everytime it's worst than before, just check the prices....

None of the previous prices really shocked me, but when I looked up the Eastern outfit my jaw dropped. Was not expecting that at all, although I'm sure it does have something to do with its prior exclusivity as was mentioned.

"Just the ability to reskin your character, every MMORPG does it."
"It's just one exclusive mount, chill."
"Just event items, no big deal."

>Seems like it'll just get worse and worse from here, similar to what happened in WoW.
>Slippery slope fallacy, you have no evidence of that happening in FFXIV.

"The weddings took a lot of work, and the paid ones are optional."
"These exclusive mounts are just reskins."
"Eh, $30 for a double seater isn't much."
"Emote tied behind a $100+ statue isn't so bad, it's just a bonus."
"This costume has an EXP bonus, so naturally it'll cost more."

And so it did, it got worse and worse, Looking forward to the level up potion, I mean WoW has it so why not? /s

I might sound a little pissy, but the moment someone mentioned it would get worse people would reject the idea and call it a slippery slope with no "proof" as we don't have the ability to look into the future. Well here we are, it got worse and people are still defending it. Maybe the community will finally break after they introduce level potion, as it did in WoW for a short period of time.
