Stop Making Should-Be Achievement Gear.."Optional Gear"

And thats what I'm proposing with both but not entirely equal

Yes, but then there's no reason to buy it if it can be obtained in game.

Here's the issue. It costs money to create content. That we can all agree on. Looking back to the Theme Park and water example. The park can continue to hand out free water in cups, but the issue is they're giving away the cups for that water, and those cups are not obtained for free, they have a price. So should the park just write those cups off as an expense, or charge for it to increase profits. Most would; and do, now charge for that cup.

So transposing that over to XIV, if it costs more to create extra content, where then would you suppose the coverage of those costs would come from if everything can be obtained in game? If you increase the monthly sub cost, you drive customers away. If you add it as DLC/Mogstore people get angry sure, but typically stick around.

I don't think you're getting the point. All the dyes on Mog Staton can be obtained in game. You just can't sell the MS ones. But. As I just said, they're in game too. What's the point of buying the red magitek on MS when the original is in game? It's just a reskin... and can fly. But the original, by all means, can be received for free in game. They're both very well the same, just not equal.

You're right, I'm not sure I'm getting your point. = /

The dyes at best are extremely random to obtain in game. And even though you may get one, there is no certainty that it's the one you are after. So adding them to MS eases that if you have that extra change to throw at SE.

And I might be wrong on this point so please do correct me if I'm wrong, but the Red and White Magitechs; while they are in the game, are no longer obtainable. Therefore were added to MS to give those that missed their chance to get them, so they could have the chance to have them, albeit at a cost.
