Please make cash-shop stuff earn-able in game

it's starting to feel really gross. I don't even care about the money, it's the principle.

I understand complaints about price and how not everyone can afford them, but if that's not the issue, what is? What principle? Why cant content creators sell content? If said content rubs you the wrong way, that's fine. IRL, in retail stores, you would just not buy the stuff. You wouldn't demand that they include it in your monthly membership. Or would people actually do that...idk.

that's not the same thing? that's like HBO saying you need to pay for every episode of Game of Thrones, even though you pay monthly to get HBO to begin with.

you don't pay a monthly fee to go into a retail store (unless you want to talk about companies like Costco).

That's a false equivalence. Your comparison would make more sense if they were selling game play content in the store but they are not. They are selling optional glamour and emotes . Maybe if they were selling dungeons you could use your GoT comparison.

the guy i quoted calls it "content", it's just as much "false equivalence" to what he was saying.

and having stuff like the Odin mount in the cash shop and not as a drop in the fight is taking away from playable content. how many Odin farm parties were there?

if there were more glamour/emote rewards to Squadron missions, i would still be doing them.

I'm sorry, but "content" is content. We may dislike it, hate it, or put no value in obtaining it, but it's still content. Artists designed it and implemented them into the game, so its content. It's not the same kind of content like dungeons or raids, but it's still content.

to use Overwatch as an example, they have their graphic artists working on skins/sprays/emotes/etc constantly and everyone agrees that that is content.

edit: and yeah, I was imagining Costco as an example since it does in fact have a membership fee.
