[DEV REQUEST] Please stop making cash shop items one character only.

[Antonio_Xul]

I mean Id even like to be able to transfer gil and have a pool to share between my alts , kinda why I stoped playign them because you cant but I know the reasons and I just have to adjust

Actually you can if they're in the same server and with a 2nd person involved to be the middleman. I have my wife friend all my alts. I send her anything I want to give them (Gil, minion, gear, etc.) and she disperses them to who I want.

This here is the one thing that irritates me about the new emotes.

Because I want these emotes, both for roleplaying and just toying with screenshots with friend, but I don't want to have to spend $14 for each character to have these two new ones.

Honestly, I don't care if they end up going to like $10 if it meant all my characters got it.

Agreed, this pattern of single character only is really preventing me from purchasing anything from the cash shop right now. I have bought a few things in the past that were account wide, but as an alt-player its just beyond my range to buy stuff for 5+characters. Between buying for all vs not spending money, the second option is what I'm taking. I can sort of understand when they were doing gender specific clothes (which I STILL don't like but that's another thread), but emotes? Ridiculous.

I wouldn't mind if they offered a discount pack too, something like 7$ for the emote and 10$ to make it account wide perhaps?

See, that is a reasonable option that I'm amazed they haven't implemented yet.

If you think about the numbers.. that kind of pricing model will not be a benefit for the consumer because you may end up paying more for something you may not even use.

While this is probably true in some cases, we're adults here. I think we should be allowed to make our own decision about this.

For example, I have 12 characters and I regularly play (at least once daily) three of them. The emote is $7. If I bought it for the three characters I actually use on a day to day basis, the emotes would cost 21$. Using my suggestion of a discount pack of 10$, I stand to save 11$. I think this should be a thing.

But you have the option to use it, it's a value proposition then, there is more perceived value in account wide vs character limited.

If you pay full sub, why is anything persistent you buy on mogstation not account wide, that's why you pay the full sub isn't it? Specifically for multiple characters. Now with emotes, minions, mounts and outfits we are in effect punished for having multiple Alts because of the sheer cost of say getting an outfit for each one of them. Since you in effect pay upfront with the top tier sub for up to 8 characters per server, the per character pricing in the mogstation is really quite negative since it makes it much less likely I would continue to play all my Alts, and perhaps cut back my sub.

I agree with you on that, it should be account wide by default as I mentioned in my OP. I guess my suggestion of a increased price for it to become an account wide purchase was mostly because I felt it'd be more likely to be implemented at all.

I agree with you, I guess I just feel that the best argument for that is kind of the same thing, but I agree with you, two tiers is the more likely outcome.
