In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

4) That's a typical argument just for the sake of raging. I get it, I myself don't have a single mogstation item. I find some of their pricing to be a little off, but when you look at other mmos and gaming industry these days, it's like nothing. I highly recommend you to check other mmos cash shops. Focus specifically on biggest players on the market - WoW and GW2. Also check some "F2P" mmos where you often end up dumping twice as much. A lot of single player games have microtransactions. Countless DLC's on top of that and adding RNG mechanics in order to increase players addiction.

To be honnest, this way to think make me more salty than all Yoshidas fail

"They all do this, so no way to blame any of them"

I blame them all. I am on FFXIV forum i blame FFXIV... not Fifa.


BUT more... you said to watch F2P shop => shop is "their sub" Even if i dislike most of those shop they are here for better reason than FFXIV cash shop
GW2 = Buy2Play with NO sub. so to maintain server, they need income => shop
WoW => Yes, best way to compare. And wow did an error. Hard error? hum. Now most minions (every) that spawns in cash shop is for "make a wish" or other charity program when natural mistake in the world (as, recently, american hurricane). In the first month (where the most are sold) so blizzard dont get so much money from this. But ok... go compare?

If i dont do mistake, WoW cash shop will turn 7 soon => 14 minions at 10 euros each. and 11 mount at 25 euros each => 415 euros if a new player comes and buy all. They were added all along those 7 years
add 3 helm you can buy only with bnet app (not in game as other stuff) => +45 euros (3x15)

Then lets see our "not bad" cash shop. 3 years old
i count : appeareances with only female thing (not all so); mounts, minions, seasonnal mixt, seasonnal female, chocobo stuff, emotes, orchestrion roll. AND housing (counting each item only one time... even for those that would want more than 1)
each time, when there is a pack i used the price of the pack (so for example, the 5 scythe in 1 pack, not the price of each)
632,5 euros


So, lets see the bad cash shop from wow, bouh, he is bad. it allows us to get one worst!


I didnt count on both the server change, sex change xxx change... nor the lvling thing, I didnt count ... wedding (7/14 euros) and... didnt count retainers (you know, the sub you can choose to pay when you already you pay the game sub)



FIRST : stop "they all do, FFXIV can do"
