Mog Station is overpriced.

It "makes leveling faster" is probably what they mean. Which, for leveling up an alt class, it still takes quite a while for more casual players like me. I get about maybe 3-4 hours of gameplay on most evenings and can't just grind content when I'm under lv15. (1-15 is truly the worst. Everything else isn't bad). So if this happens to stack with the novice ring and the helm of might or other stuff, it's a HUGE speedup for me and definitely worth the cost. (And I like glamours.)

Except it won't make leveling faster. Did you look at the stats? They don't grow as you level, so you're purposely gimping yourself, which will significantly slow down a dungeon run, for an exp increase. Looks like a wash to me.

And, side note, 1-15 is extremely easy if you're doing your hunting log.

I would honestly rather buy that outfit than deal with the frustrating RNG.

Hum, token system then ? like the birdies on primals or craft recipe during all saints event ? there are plenty of ways to add it WITHOUT cash shop....

If you want to call this pay to win, go for it. Personally, I stop listening to you at that point because an experience boost to level 30 that is comparable to the invite a friend head piece that stops no where near end game isn't pay to win. It's "pay to save two hours". There are many reasons to complain about the cash shop, but that isn't one of them.

I'm going to guess that they set the price point because they knew from the forum requests that it would be a high demand outfit. I mean, there could be some kind of extra fee that has to be paid to the Chinese publisher to use it but I doubt it. If you think it's overpriced, talk with your wallet. People not buying the dyes was probably what forced them into the game as a venture reward.

I actually forgot about that..good point. lol

@kerii but the people asked for the item the Chinese game got. They should have invest their time to look and get all the description of the item and then see if they wanted the exact item or want SE to make modifications. SE gave what people asked, which is the exclusive item.nothing less.

[Aivi_lo]

My whole point of view is that the cash shop should only be used for items that were already obtainable in game and could be used for people who want to catch up. No exclusives and no retainers.
I love glamouring - but I don't believe I should pay any more than my sub in order to get this stuff.
Sadly a lot of people seem to want to throw money at the cs, it will get worse and worse and eventually drive loyal people away with frustration.

Meh, they're turning the game into Free to Play through the Mog Station, don't be surprised if that happens in the not so far future!...

Prices for optional stuff are ridiculous, SE is just milking us badly!...

@Aivi let's ask SE if they are fine by losing some few loyal customer while they gain more new players. I worked in a company that they did only care to provide exceptional customer service if the customer spent thousands of dollars compared to those spending just a few dollars.

Well... this slope has certainly gotten slippery.

I would think that yeah, they might care if they lose regular customers for people who probably won't stick around in the long run. I just find it sad and frustrating. The world favors the rich
