Mog Station is overpriced.

Urban Dictionary:

"Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying."

"Dude, you've spent like 400 bucks on this game so you can beat everyone who hasn't spent any money. Pay-to-win noob!"

Urban dictionary lol bout a million entries in there better gear huh? Better as in prettier? Again a difference of opinion OK I'll stop now.

As much as I want the chinese dress... it is overpriced and not worth it. Disgusting money grabbing by SE

[Windi]

Oh and by the way, am I the only one to offended by it, it's clearly chiness inspired



and thus, it's disrespectfull toward chinese people

Is there any significant culture aspect attached to it, and have Chinese people historically been offended by its appropriation by the west? If not, then you need to shut up.


I guess the EXP bonus is a legit means to bump up the price, but you can get a new indie/old game for the amount they are charging for... dress pieces. I'm pretty dissapointed by these prices myself, especially because I want the far-Eastern dress for my char.

Major difference between Chinese Outfit and leveling potions:

One the majority of the player base threw a tantrum cause they couldn't have and they wanted.

One the majority of the player base is against and has voiced it's very vocal opposition.

But please, for the sake of hysterics, let's not mention that.

I very much doubt either of these majorities are actual majorities, but if you have real statistics to back them up, I'll happily stand corrected! Hardcore glamour enthusiasts are very likely NOT that majority of players in this game. They're noisy on the forums, to be sure, but if SE catered to anyone who was noisy on the forums this game would go downhill fast.

As for the leveling potion - you don't have to dig far into the forums to come across pages and pages of players moaning and groaning about all the cutscenes they have to wade through before they can get to the "good stuff" - AT LEAST as many as you'll see people talking about what a disaster the leveling potion would be. Some folks just don't care about storyline; others care, but really want to get to endgame and are intimidated by the oceans of filler quests in the way.

Personally, I blame SE's design decision to make each expansion a linear continuation of both the story and the game's leveling mechanics - that's going to bite them hard once we get a few expansions in, and new players suddenly realize that in the time it takes them to catch up, another expansion will have come and gone... Truth is, I sympathize with folks who want story-skip potions. As much as I wish everyone had the free time to enjoy the story properly, it IS a whole lot to deal with...

I think this was tongue-in-cheek. I could be wrong

If you read carefully, more players request an abridged or streamlined update to the MSQ, not a leveling potion.

One gets you to the end faster while still having you play the game. One hands someone a toolkit they have no idea how to use.

I think this 'joke' (in reference) was alluding to a thread from last week-ish that was removed by moderators. I'm not going into detail on the thread; don't ask.

I already pay subscription once a month, plan to buy the streams, live in a country that's falling apart (America), I cannot afford this.

This exactly.

The sarcasm went over your head. This was likely intended to poke fun of a recent SJW thread.

People are confusing P2W and PFC (pay for convenience). An experience buff to level 30 isn't P2W - it would have to offer an advantage players can't get unless they pay to make it fit that term.
