Is our sub fee not enought

[ElHeggunte]

Would you pay a subscription to your local cinema?

Yes, depending on what I got out of it. That's practically what services like Hulu and Netflix are.

Would you pay a sub on top of being charged for tickets and snacks?

The snacks are optional and have no bearing on my enjoyment of whatever movie I'm about to see. I may pay for them if I'm feeling peckish, otherwise I save my money and go watch the movie without them. Your question about the ticket doesn't make any sense, because your subscription is the ticket.

And since you apparently edited your post:

I don't pay a subscription to the cinema, if I did I'd expect snacks with my ticket.

Why? The only thing your ticket gives you is access to the theater and the right to view the screen. Just like your subscription fee to FFXIV. If you want extra, you pay extra.

I wonder if the people always fussing about the CS also loudly complain at at movie theater when they're asked to pay for snacks in addition to their ticket. Or at a restaurant when they're asked to pay extra for appetizers.

I don't pay a monthly subscription to a movie theater or restaurant.

This more like paying for a gym membership and then them trying to charge you more to get access to exclusive equipment.

Anyways they gave a valid reason why this emote shouldn't be in the game so why is it in the game now at a cost?

That's a weird comparison. Everyone knows you are paying for a ticket to view a film at a movie theater, not eat candy or popcorn. Consider this instead: Would you be upset if you had to pay an entrance fee to get inside an amusement park, plus an extra dollar for every ride? Or how about a zoo? 1 extra dollar for every exclusive animal you want to see. We already paid the entrance fee. What the Mog Station is doing with these new unique emotes is essentially the same idea.

Didn't we get the /Moonlift dance in 3.5?

There's also /spectacles from the Scholasticate quests.

The movie comparison isn't really apt either because the value inflation of the candy is a better deal than Mog Shop, it's $30 for a digital item that has no production cost (it did have development cost of course). If Soda cost $90 it might be a better comparison lol.

SE is a business but whenever I see exclusive stuff in the Mogshop I just think "thanks mobile gaming" xD. I was so happy with my occasional pre-order, one expansion a year, or a DLC that meant something. Now it's would you like to pay $50 for Yuna's bikini? It's on sale too! If you pay $20 more you can use it in the VR room!1!!!

Although I get MMOs are expensive I still feel SE could be more considerate how they run the shop, at minimum please consider applying bonus crysta to subscriptions as seen in some other MMOs as part of their Vet system (if refusing to stop adding in exclusives at least).

When they add a wing into their cinema to have more rooms, we dont pay it, they expanse it bye themself, yet in FFXIV we pay expansion...

3 charges at FFXIV, getting in, staying in, and extras.
2 charges at the Cinema, getting in, and extras.

I wouldn't subscribe to a cinema that expected me to still pay for tickets and snacks. No one would, that's why they don't do it.

It may be just a freaking emote to you but every time there is an exclusive item added to the mog station, potential content is being wasted and not utilized. This could of been a reward for an amusing, fun quest. Or a casual drop from something in game. Something. Anything, that livens up the game and encourages more people to play whatever content it could have came from.

No, the sub fee isn't enough, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing an... emote... for half the cost of said sub fee.

Don't worry though, no amount of complaining will change it, anything that is more creative or requires even a slight bit of effort to make over the gear we get now, or has been requested a bunch will be on the shop soon. And might as well add in anything that's been told numerous times isn't possible or that they don't want to add for... reasons, too.

It doesn't matter if it even has a place suitable to unlock it via in-game means either, why add incentives to do associated content if the masses have asked for it so much that the lucrative potential is so tantalizing that they can't resist adding it to the shop? They can get away with it afterall, and can bloat the prices (Fan Fest costing more, Eastern clothing, emotes getting higher etc).

I ain't even mad, I have enough restraint not to give money where it isn't deserved... I am just disappointed at this stage. Oh well, on with thing I suppose. *two cents given*
