Mog Station is overpriced.

[Kaurie]

You join a club for a subscription fee say X dollars. There are some additional services to that club where you top up some extra money for premium service or some other service you feel is of value to you. Works the same way here. Isn't this why clubs have different subscription prices for services you feel suit what you want?

I guess I see it more like...

There are clubs that cost a membership that give you all the benefits.

Then, a new club comes along and offers free membership, but you need to purchase for additional services.

I then look at the 2 clubs and decide, hmm, I like the business model that I pay once for everything and everyone gets the same treatment. Some time down the road, the club changes things up and starts selling for additional services at rates that exceed the free clubs. I voice my discontent with it to the company.

But "I paid the subscription"...yes, you did, you chose to pay for the subscription too but nowhere in the subscription did it say that items cannot be in mogstation or items must be priced at X amount of dollars.

I mean, this is fairly misleading:

Real Money Trading (RMT) is the buying and selling of in-game data (items, characters, etc.) in exchange for real life currency. This type of activity is prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Action will be taken against users who have initiated RMT transactions, as well as users who join RMT transactions.

Items and gil obtained through illegal programs and RMT activity greatly affect the in-game economy and disrupt the game's balance. Also, illegal programs may contain viruses and spyware that harm the user. This can be very dangerous, as it may result in data hacking and compromised access.
