    For a pay to play and only giving items to a single character, the prices are just... ridiculous. *sigh*
    I believe WoW's pricing is about the same for mounts/minions/other services. Though, I don't think they sell emotes. I might be wrong because these items are coverted to my local currency and things are a bit cheaper because of that.-

    WoW still has way less stuff in their cash shop and on top of that you can exchange or buy them from others for ingame currency.

    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.

    Indeed, also playtime. But the pricing is about the same. I wish XIV had an in-game alternative to get cash-shop exclusive items. Most of it is from previous events, though.

    Pricing is about the same, but they have way, way, WAY less. So, XIV's is more expensive collectively, and you actually get less for your buck since a lot of it isn't account wide. Meanwhile, the mounts, pets (minions) and the grand total of 3 glamour pieces (and they're just helmets) are all account wide. Character services are a bit more expensive with WoW, but having easily accessible alts sorta deters people from race/faction/appearance changing so often. A lot of the appearance changes can be made in game rather than having to pay for them, with a few exceptions.
