This is just appalling

[Nix]

I came back to the game after a long hiatus recently, and I'm kinda iffy on the cash shop situation.

Don't get me wrong - it's not a question of not being able to afford it; I am fortunate that I have a well paying job and could spring for cash shop stuff if I wanted to purchase it.

The question is one of principle... It seems like SE is starting to bump up the price on things but decrease value. Take Y'shtola's modish attire for example; it's $15 on cash shop right now iirc, but you get boots, pants, jacket, hair etc; then there's the new fuga attire which is $18 for a jacket and pants.

I could see $10 being a fair price for this, but $18 is just a bit crazy.

I've seen people try to counter our arguments with things like "You just want things for free!" and this isn't the case; we want value for money, and to not feel like we're being nickel and dimed.
I also get that cash shop purchases are entirely optional, I don't think anyone has ever said that they are mandatory; that being said, we're still within our right to say "Hey guys, don't you think you can dial it back just a tad?"

Note: I understand the OP and I too feel the outfits are overpriced. Welcome to the new age of gaming (I miss the old days were there are no DLCs or PreOrders) sigh~

No kidding- It feels like I bought the hamburger, but now I feel like they're making us pay again for the fixings to go on it
