The enjoyableness makes the items worth the cost to me. Because lately, my life has been filled with a lot of unenjoyable things, so if I want to splurge in something that is enjoyable, why not?



    I'm not attacking anyone. I'm just saying that it's irksome reading all these people attacking those who want to buy from the Mogstation, and who act like the equivalent of doing so is like kicking a puppy. I don't think there's any reason for anyone to attack anyone. However, people get defensive when they're being attacked, and go on the offensive. That's human nature. I can't stop it. All I can do is ignore it. However, it becomes hard to do when I come on here and the New Post page is flooded with thread after thread about how terrible the cash shop and all those who support it are.



    Okay. That's fine if you don't need it. But some want it. Don't make them out to be awful people because they want to splurge. If you don't need it, why do you keep arguing with people that want to buy it? Why do you care so much what others do with their money? Does it affect you that much? Do you lose sleep over it? Why continue to argue?

    Would it be nice if they were cheaper? Yes. Would it be nice if they were account-wide? Of course. Would it be like Christmas coming early if they were available in-game for free? Absolutely! But, the fact of the matter is, is that they are not. And SE is a business. Businesses know that there are people out there who will pay a lot of money for shinies. And I'm not talking about just SE here: they know this, so they provide the shinies. Because shinies for buyers means $$$ for the businesses. And that's just the way it is. For this to change would have to mean a very widespread boycott over several different types of shinies, not just digital content. Something that is very unlikely to happen, given how vain and how want-y (didn't really want to use "needy" here) human beings can be.

    You're entitled to your opinion, but constantly arguing with people over it gets tiresome, don't you think? Trust me, I like debates. I debate frequently with a lot of people. But eventually, I get tired of repeating myself, so I just let it rest. At the end of the day, I cannot expect to change anyone's mind, or force people to agree with me.

    Have your opinions. State them. Stand by them. But please. You don't have to shove them down everyone's throat, and reach post cap on two separate accounts just to continue arguing about them. And I'm saying this in the most polite way I can.
    Where are people attacking those that buy from the mog station? The only thing I see is people attacking those that disagree with the pricing "it is optional live with it" Making this thread to mock those that disagree with it, and making it obvious while doing so.. is not an issue to you? It does not bother you some people would like to have it and like your self would make them happier but it is too much for NO REASON?!?!?!?!?

    Does not matter if SE is a business, with what they do to the pricing and how they handle inventory, it is a shady one at best. Why is my sub doubled for making up for a shortcoming of the game and have overpriced glams on top of it? Do you realize how high the cost is for retainers? on legacy for 6 months the retainers cost more then the sub itself.

    We are overpaying for items on a sub model!!! on top of renting space. If SE wants high short term gains but huge backlash in the long run, well that is a good way to ruin a business in the long run now isn't it?

    If SE keeps going for the whales, it will not hold for the future, people will remember the resentment they felt when overpaying say now but in the future say maybe a future MNO by SE and not return.

    Same can be said to you and the TC, " Have your opinions. State them. Stand by them. But please. You don't have to shove them down everyone's throat, and reach post cap on two separate accounts just to continue arguing about them. And I'm saying this in the most polite way I can. " That is exactly what I see when people make revenge threads like this, shoving opinions down people's throat and using the "SE is a business" to do so and the "they are not needed so it is ok to overprice them, I can afford them you can't hahaha"

    I am not using 2 accounts for this matter, this is another attack by you on me (and kind of insulting since I was trying to help you in that DF story thread) I ran out of allowances trying to figure out why someone wants to be instant on that you need pure healing in this game when they can't experience anything from being i190. Who is shoving whos opinion down a throat again?
