Moonfire Faire

Wow...they couldn't put a single bathing suit on the Faire Vendor the expansion they add swimming?!?! Talk about greed...

Obviously opinions will vary, but I feel like SE has been incredibly heavy-handed with the cash shop for a subscription game. And normally this is when people will scream that "WoW has had a cash shop for years!" or that times are just changing with MMOs, and both of these are true. The amount of items though, and exclusive items to boot, is insane.

Going back to a post I made in March, at that time, you could buy all of the items from XIV's cash shop for a bit over $990 (this was including only female versions of outfits, single dyes and full sets of items only. No fantasias, world transfers or other "account" items). For comparison, WoW's cash shop at that time could be bought out for about $388.

tl;dr: I agree that SE is incredibly greedy.

"WoW has had a cash shop for years!" or that times are just changing with MMOs, and both of these are true.

I wouldn't hold either as valid arguments to any extent either.

Just because another game did something unpleasant doesn't mean its alright to accept it elsewhere (nor that it was alright for it to be normalized there). Precedent is not necessarily valid as justification.

And the "Well, things change." argument is just a matter of apathy and acceptance of increasingly negative traits. If we just accept a negative 'change' then sure, it'll stick around and things will continue going down a negative spiral.

The shisui class-sets weren't supposed to be dye-able at all, but seeing how popular they became in-game, they decided to give us a dye-able set at the next appropriate event.

i'm glad i don't need to farm shisui set for all my jobs... <3

Though I haven't done the quest yet(stupid work and things costing money), from what I've seen, some of the Shisui items actually look better than what people have posted are the event items. =/

they are.. because of the dual color theme (red/white) contrast vs the single color theme (red/lesser red)
