So show me where individuals are providing feedback, cause all I see in this who post is people complaining, no constructive or positive feedback so far.

My personal feedback is that I think it is a shady business practice to place items in a MogStation when we pay a subscription. I believe others have said things like, I am OK with it being in the MogStation but the price is too high.

Regardless, nearly every other post (whether for, against or neutral) in this thread has been more constructive than this or your last post complaining about people complaining.

Nope, you can't. My if I buy male gear for my female avatar, the game does zero to stop me.

Wasnt there once a picture about a room tour at SE headquarter which showed the creation of the chinese exclusive mount? So it seems that SE creates everything for them and they just handle the rest? Anyway the prices are way to high for me, so I will pass on this. Nice to have them available but they could have put them in the Gold Saucer or maybe as a price from the new adventure book.

yes this was my post detailing it on another thread a while ago

Very much this. They showed the development team working on things for the chinese version (behemoth boss in specific) during a tour of their work space at the SE HQ in Japan to the Chinese Media.





There is no developers for the KR or Chinese versions of this game. The same dev staff create all versions. The company that runs this game in China is simply a front company and marketing agent they have absolutely nothing to do with development. I am surprised just how much misinformation there is out there for the Chinese version.

The price for the dress and emote are outrageous! You should get everything, dress, barding and emote for 18!

This ^, however we all know someone who is willing to such a ludicrous price.

Yep, the day it came out I saw 3 friends running about in the Chinese dress.

I've given up saying anything to people. Best I can do is just not support it personally.

[OMG]

Now all the future mogstation outfits will go for $18+! Continue buying their overpriced goods and they'll keep raising 'em.

If people would hold off from buying some of these items, and make it known that what they're charging is unacceptable, then maybe SE will lower them.

So let me get this straight, you feel entitled to free items since you pay 15 dollars a month? This is not a need as I stated original, it's a want, and 90% of the people on this forum are whining about something, that in all honestly they didn't have to add and bring over as an incentive that was meant for players in a different country. So you have two options, 1) pay for it and enjoy your new purchase, 2) don't pay for it, and add CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, and simply act for a cost reduction.

But has anyone honestly did that? No, they are crying about something that is totally an option. So before you try to flame me, how about some actual construction feedback about how they could of done it better, in a well thought out and flame free post. But I highly doubt you'll do that.
As for the pay to win people are saying, please don't even get me started.

P.S. 15 dollars month sub doesn't mean they owe you anything.

The first sentence contradicts itself. "You feel entitled to free items since you pay" - Do you not see that? Also, I would not use the word entitled. It has nothing to do with a sense of entitlement or that I deserve something. It has to do with business practices. They are charging a subscription fee which precedence has set includes glamours - adding a glamour to the store is a bit ridiculous. This is amplified by the fact that it is free in other regions. Then we need to consider the marketplace, where FFXIV is the most expensive MMO by subscription among hundreds (thousands?) of MMO's. Other MMO's use the model of Free to Play and offer these cosmetic items at a cost. Square is now double dipping into the 2nd business model.

Now, if it weren't for friends playing the game, I would quit. I'm already disappointed in content, and this is just icing on the cake. However, I am continuing to pay, because my friends are still playing and I like them. Instead of showing Square that I disapprove of their business practices with my wallet, I am expressing my discontent via a forum. For what reason this bothers you, or gives you a sense that I am entitled, is beyond me. Consumer feedback is important for a company, and in fact is far more useful than if I had just unsubbed.

I also am not sure why you are bringing needs in to this, but it suggests you have a limited understanding of economics and capitalism. Plenty of people purchase items based on wants, and not needs. Profits are driven by providing this supply to that demand. When the supply does not match the demand, it is common for consumers to provide feedback as such.

In terms of your two options, I am doing precisely what you listed in number 2). It seems like you feel constructive is only constructive if you agree with it.

Before I try to flame you? I did not flame you. My first post mirrored yours exactly, so if it was a flame, then yours was a flame to many people in this thread. My 2nd post was a fairly toneless response to what you said. Conversely, so far your posts have had a very negative and condescending tone.

Your PS is more of a TLDR. You're also failing to grasp the point of the conversation. One can complain and say, "I disagree with your business practice" without feeling entitled or that they are owed something. In fact, if they had not brought over the glamour at all, I'd have been happier. I would have given feedback that it's pretty silly to not let everyone have it, but I would not have been annoyed by the shady business practice of double dipping business models for higher fees than every other competitor in the industry.

Casual playerbase doesn't want to put effort into acquiring anything. Yoshi might as well just throw all glamour based items on mogstation from here on. Thanks for killing the genre, Blizzard <3
