Mogstation and New Content

[Harmonea]

I'm thankful for MogStation and I'm thankful for getting a chance to obtain items I missed to get, or optional cosmetics I wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

Literally no one in this thread is arguing that these items should remain exclusive to those who were playing when the events happened. Rather, these items should be obtainable via in-game methods. If I bought one snow pile too few this past winter, why do I have to wait a year and pay $10 for another? What about the summer event--did every clothing manufacturer in Eorzea suddenly stop making red bikinis? It doesn't make any sense that we need to pay RL cash for these things.

Let alone the slough of NEW content that's never even touching the game. Remember when they added /throw? They did it in a quest. And the first three persistent dances--harvest dance, step dance, ball dance? Quests. The eastern dance would've been perfect as a quest in Doma in SB. Instead, you have to pay for it. /playdead isn't even a new animation like /throw or /huzzah or the free dances--I can tell you with certainty it took maybe half an hour of dev time if the guy went out for a smoke in the middle of it--but you have to pay for it. It's gone from a trickle to a flood lately. Almost none of this cosmetic stuff is making it into the game through normal means unless it's a promotion for another franchise paying to advertise to us, and it's highly disconcerting.
