This is just appalling

I love this "SE is a business" argument. Just because you are a business does not make it right to sell everything for whatever price you want. And I do believe that people would be way more happier if those things would have been ingame or less expensive.

Well, duh.

I don't mean to sound rude, but of course people would prefer it being in-game or less expensive. That doesn't benefit Square Enix though. They aren't setting these prices on the fly, but likely using market research to determine what garners the highest profit. Would it be nice if outfits were reduced to $5? Absolutely. However... SE now needs to sell four times the amount just to accumulate the same profit they have now. Hence why they don't.

And about WoW. Maybe we should start comparing how many items they have and how many FF14 has. I am quite sure that FF14 will win.

Only because a large portion of FFXIV's Cash Shop consists of old event items no longer obtainable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in WoW, event items are a one time deal. Either you get them or they're gone.

It's baffling how even F2P MMOs don't go that crazy high with their cash shop items,

Blade & Soul outfits sell for $15
Black Desert sales their outfits for a whopping $41; slightly cheaper if you only purchase piecs ($29, I believe)

Keep in mind, both games have several times the amount of outfits on their respective cash shops. FFXIV has only three that were never intended for release outside Korea and China. Are they overpriced? I feel so. But let's not compare them to F2P games.
