China is getting wings

[SessionZero]

Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Whales

Or, more realistically, it's a derogatory term used to insult CS buyers.

[Miste]

Not sure where you thought i was "angry" at any point, i was simply correcting him. of course they decided to add it, because people begged for it. and i even said this in another post, SE is not going to turn away FREE MONEY (or easy money in this case)

You can't "correct" someone elses opinion. Doesn't work like that. You basically just told them they are a reckless spender and a whale who somehow ruins everything for everyone else. I don't even recall when that poster said they buy everything the cash shop offers (or if they have bought anything at all even)....so why are they a reckless spender and a whale all of a sudden?

Anger might not factor into it but you are still misplacing emotions at the players (who might not have been part of the people who asked for a cash shop) instead of at the company who made the service that you dislike so much. Simply correcting isn't what you were doing. You were shaming them for the possibility that they might have bought things from the cash shop. Stop trying to make people feel bad for buying things with the money they earned it's pretty rude and unnecessary.

this excuse sounds strikingly similar to the same excuse i here from gill buyers..huh.. fancy that.

How is buying cash shop things the same as gil buying? One is against the ToS and one is made by the company who made the ToS...there is no connection. You really think people who buy from the cash shop, which money goes to the company who makes the game we all play, is the same as gil buying? This makes no sense and you know it. Money spent on gil buying does not go to the company. It goes to a third party which is exploiting SE's game to make a profit.

but as long as it's benefiting you, right? screw how it affects everyone else.

Like you said SE likely won't remove the cash shop...so why should you shame people for buying from it? If they want something and can afford it then who are you to say they are selfish for spending their personal earned money on it? Even if some people stop buying from it the cash shop will still be there (because there is always going to be players who have a lot of extra money to spend because they are well off irl)...people will just be denying themselves something they want for no reason since it changes nothing.

already countered the 1st point, not going to do it a 3rd time. Not to mention the rest of this makes no sense due to the fact nothing i said implied any of this. You did read the post, yea?

Yeah I read it and it does imply, very obviously, that you think your choice is superior. You call people reckless spenders and whales (and the above quote to me calling people selfish). You are shaming people for what they choose to spend their money on. Some people on this planet may think you spending money on a video game subscription is reckless spending and shame-worthy, but hey it is your choice because it is your money right? Why listen to them?

LOL yea, that will work. it will be like trying to get dragon ball banned, Not going to happen. Once again, it's easy money for SE for cosmetics, easily forgettable items, it's here to stay. i am well aware people will toss money at anything that does not require any work, so it will always be popular, SE would be brain dead to get rid of something like that. i dislike the cash shop but i actually want them to keep it, the more money that floods in, the better they work on this game, hopefully, I just won't waste any money on it, other then things that actually deserve to be there, like server transfers or fantasia.

Once again, "Being a voice" will do absolutely nothing for the cash shop. SO stop trying to put words in my mouth, I do not care. i disagree with it, because it does not belong in a paid sub MMO, but nothing can be done about it, End of story.

Wasn't putting words in your mouth. I was telling you to be a voice instead of shaming people who use the cash shop.

I was against the cash shop when it was suggested just fyi since this game is already a sub game. I am not going to shame people for using it though. They choose to spend money they earned on it so that is their choice and it has nothing to do with me. All those items are optional aesthetics which you do not need to play the game and hopefully, like you also said, that money is going into the game for expansions and content.

You can't "correct" someone elses opinion. Doesn't work like that.

Was not his "opinion" i was correcting, it was the conclusions he was jumping to, assuming at what i meant, which was false.

You basically just told them they are a reckless spender and a whale who somehow ruins everything for everyone else. I don't even recall when that poster said they buy everything the cash shop offers (or if they have bought anything at all even)....so why are they a reckless spender and a whale all of a sudden?

Once again, like that poster, you are taking what i said and twisting it, read it again. it's a cause and effect thing, because SE knows people will spend money for items instead of putting them in game, other people will have to suffer by buying it, as SE sees no reason to put them in the the game when people can just throw money at them for it.

Anger might not factor into it but you are still misplacing emotions at the players (who might not have been part of the people who asked for a cash shop) instead of at the company who made the service that you dislike so much. Simply correcting isn't what you were doing. You were shaming them for the possibility that they might have bought things from the cash shop. Stop trying to make people feel bad for buying things with the money they earned it's pretty rude and unnecessary.

Never did, Stop putting words in my words, for crying out loud.

How is buying cash shop things the same as gil buying? One is against the ToS and one is made by the company who made the ToS...there is no connection.

People buy gill because they are lazy, (or really bad at the game and can't make their own) why work for the gill when you can just give real money to get as much as you want.

Cash shop has items that you can give real money to get instantly no work needed. Why put items in the game when you can just toss money to get them instantly?

Gill is not needed to progress in this game, and for the most part is mainly used for vanity and cosmetics,

Cash shops item are not needed in this game and is use for vanity...and cosmetics..

Buying gill floods the economy which causes prices to raise, making people who don't buy gill have to spend more because people with a lot of gill spend recklesy on stuff.

Buying from cash shop causes SE to realize that putting items in for money, is better then putting them in the game to earn. so people who do not buy from cash shop will have to buy from there if they want it....Do i need to go on?

Yea.. they are very similar, actually. but like i said, one is legal the other is not. You are paying for instant gratification. If you had issues figuring that out.

You really think people who buy from the cash shop, which money goes to the company who makes the game we all play, is the same as gil buying? This makes no sense and you know it.

Already explained above, it makes perfect sense. if you actually think.

Money spent on gil buying does not go to the company. It goes to a third party which is exploiting SE's game to make a profit.

RMT spend money on accounts to spam bots nonestop. unless they can do that for free, all the money is going to SE Regardless if they are using their on CC/debit or a stolen one, it's still money going to SE so in a small way they are actually benefiting from it. They both profit. again, if you think you would have figured that out.

Like you said SE likely won't remove the cash shop...so why should you shame people for buying from it?

In the same way i would "shame" (not the right word) someone for spending a grand for a bottle of water because it's in a pretty bottle, it's there money but i won't hesitate to laugh at them. Buy all you want, spend as you please. while i snicker.

Yeah I read it and it does imply, very obviously, that you think your choice is superior.

No, you clearly did not read it. you just skimmed over it, heard what you wanted,,and made your own flawed conclusions.

You call people reckless spenders and whales (and the above quote to me calling people selfish). You are shaming people for what they choose to spend their money on.

See? this is how i know you didn't read, as i said, multiple times that i do not care what you spend your money on, i'm allowed to laugh at people who toss money at things. if i see someone buy a t-shirt for $2000 because it has a small logo in the corner while i got the same one for $45 without the logo, you better belive i will have a good laugh, and tell them "nice shirt buddy" with a cool thumbs up.

Some people on this planet may think you spending money on a video game subscription is reckless spending and shame-worthy,

I'll give you this one, but it's usually people who do not understand games and just think they are all a waste of time. so you couldn't convince them either way.

Fair point, but you are mistake shaming for mocking. which, i admit is not much better. but i wouldn't say shaming.

Wings have been prevent in various Final Fantasy games, the latest on was FF13.

It somehow fits the FFXIV world, unlike the Yokai stuff they released.

There's currently armor in the game that have wings, Final Coil of Bahamut and Summoner AF2 are examples.

When those came out i didn't see people complaining about the wings at all.

As for the Wings being attached to the outfit, it would indeed make more sense to have two versions one with and one without the wings, so it would please everyone.

That's quite the defense mechanism against people who are well off enough to drop money on brand name/CS items.

I'll give you this one, but it's usually people who do not understand games and just think they are all a waste of time. so you couldn't convince them either way.

[This can be reversed, watch: ] It's usually people who do not understand that the value of money is subjective and just think CS buyers are wasting money. so you couldn't convince them either way.

They will ignore your point because it doesn't fit their complaints.

Well it's all subjective, someone like bill gates can drop 5 grand for a candy bar and would not give a care in the world. as that won't even come close to putting a dent in his wallet but would he do it? is it worth it to him.

I guess so, This is the reason why the bottled water industry is booming, even tho its just tap water from a different source, and anti-aging cream is just an expensive moisturizer, even tho it does the exact same thing. some people may consider those a waste of money while others consider them the greatest buys. it is all in the buyer, i agree.

Maybe he would, maybe it is worth it to him. I have no idea, but who are you to judge or mock?

The big moogle mount was worth every dollar to me. Are you going to mock me for spending my disposable income where I feel was well spent? That would be silly.

A person of free will and independent thinking.

Then it was worth it to you, the problem is you careing about what others think of what you spend your money on.

When did I say I cared what you thought?

You responding to my posts, is indeed an action of caring, if you didn't you would have just ignored them.
