The premium app is what finally made me unsub.

[Callinon]

I've just unsubbed too because of this.

Stormblood overall has been disappointing to me. We lost dungeon development so SE could do something "never before seen" in an MMO. What I've actually seen happen is less content being developed for the game and instead more and more focus on the cash shop. Eureka was neat, but far from something "never before seen." I actually played the game it was based on for 8 years. I saw it for 8 years. For this we lose 30% of our new dungeons?

And then this companion app business. No. I'm done. I'm tired of paying a subscription to get less content and just more things to subscribe to.

Sigh this game can’t make you DO any thing. It can’t MAKE you unsub. You CHOSE to unsub. I’m really starting to get a little bit tired of so many people posting this. If you want SE to know you unsubbed, then do it - they have the numbers . Don’t be looking for more attention from other players cuz honestly, only your friends care if you still play or not. I personally don’t care

I'm kind of confused how much focus is being put on app features that already exist in game. You can pay microtransactions to list or buy things on the market board, or you can do it for free in game. You can transfer items directly between retainers on the app, but in game you have to transfer it to yourself as an intermediate step. I mean, I don't really see why they'd charge for that either, but it's hardly game-breaking (and doesn't confer any kind of actual advantage to app users). How often do you need to transfer items between retainers or organize their inventory when you're not even logged in?

To be clear, this app seems like a stupidly overpriced service that does almost nothing. If this is really all it does, even I won't pay for it, and I'll buy anything. So let's all just not pay for the stupid thing and move on with our lives.

When you have a lot of items to deal with be it crafting mats, glam gear or a combo of the 2, you take a TON of time trying to sort it. Retainer to retainer should of been in the game in 2.0, they rushed 2.0 out causing them to have to deal with "Spaghetti code"

is a pejorative phrase for unstructured and difficult to maintain source code, broadly construed. Spaghetti code can be caused by several factors, such as volatile project requirements, lack of programming style rules, and insufficient ability or experience

If you are a near or full time crafter (meaning 80-100% of your play time is devoted to crafting) having an app to undercut someone while you do something else (manage/price change another retainer) is an insane advantage over someone else not doing that. Under NORMAL circumstances you will be correct but the thing is, it is a race to always have your item first listed in this game. The economy of this game is overall bad to begin with and I never liked the idea of having an app to manage the MB in the first place. So when you put a paywall for that kind advantage? don't expect career crafters to be happy. There is something else that only I seen myself to talk about. When you price change though the app, does it take the retainer down, the other 19 items off the MB while you do so? I am guessing the app doesn't force your other items to go off the MB and that just makes it an even bigger advantage to price change though the app.

I spent 2 hours trying to help my SO a few weeks ago sort out inventory for the PURE REASON there was no retainer > retainer exchanges.

This.
The app is awful in what it offers pay or not pay

I would be ok if monthly fee went up by $2 a month if we got ride of the cash shop items,
I'm lagacy so I'm already saving money.

Should I just Accept and set aside $4 a month for in game items. I would sooner pay the extra every month.

It's why people go on contract for cell phones its easy to pay 75 a month for a phone and plan vs 40 a month and 800 up front for the phone.

[RedHerb]

Bump.

I want this to stay on the first page for visibility.

[Tanathya]

I personally don’t care

You don't?

[Linx0r]

You don't?

(Checks friendliest) nope

[ManuelBravo]

Hmmmm 5 dollar and add 2 dollars for an extra slot....-.- what is there to argue, unfair to those who boycott this app? The world is already unfair...it's a business, people get over it. Optional label, micro transactions, does it really matter? In t he end we are the consumer, we have the power, we have choices...don't use it, through a tantrum and rage quit, in the end it means the same...our choice. Life is not fair so make it fair in your own way.
