    Nice to see the 140 likes that the OP got. I know that the people on the forum are only a small part of the playerbase but it seems that more people find this bad than good. You know what would be interesting? Official polls from SE about this topic and them posting the end results here on the forum. Just to see how the majority sees the cash shop and/or its prices.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    The fact of the matter is the cash shop is not going away. It's in a large amount of games now due to the fact it IS profitable. If you do not like it, do not buy into the model. But some people will and do enjoy what ends up in mogstation, like myself, and will buy it if I see use for it. I'm a glamour addict and love the Far-Eastern sets they have released. Aside from the Fuga set the others were country exclusive so I do not mind paying for the sets. But I also know what I'm paying for when I buy, its not just the glamour. I don't go to town buying everything either, for me, I treat myself and limit myself to an extra purchase a month for the game.

    Being hostile to people who want to simply enjoy an outfit is just silly. Let everyone enjoy the game in their own way Glamour on addicts, glamour on!

    This would never yield valid results. If you put up a poll asking if cash shop items should be cheaper and/or free everyone will say yes. Even someone who happily pays current cash shop prices and would happily pay even more than do now would say yes. It doesn't matter if someone is more than willing to pay $25 for a new dress, they'll still take it for $10 or free if they can.

    The results of a poll asking people if they'd like to get things for cheaper or free is beyond obvious.

    What really matters is sales. Prices will dip when the demand for the content dips.
