I am fine with these items landing in the shop because we would probably not get them. But I am still very much against the whole pricing of the cash shop (and have been for a time) and I am still quite angry at them selling both carfuncles in the cash shop instead of at least giving one color to us ingame.
Correct. I'm not sure where the misinformation stating that these items are outsourced began. Despite being available in Korea and China first, the items are still designed by SE.
