    Well, we simply don't, I suppose. I mean, anyone with common sense would ignore the snow cones on the Mogstation for $5.

    Only way I buy one for 5 dollars is if they added a npc in game. Where you can buy previously bought mogstation items. Make npc something like one you can buy past seasonal event gear from.

    But then they stop being special.(/s) Remember these items get an "Authentic" Prefix to their name to further emphasize they are not the "original" ones.

    Egh. If common sense would stop people from buying overpriced digital goods, then anyone with common sense wouldn't buy from the mog station at all, because just about every single thing on there is way overpriced for a digital item.

    Pretty sure there will be people who buy the snow cone. And SE is just gonna keep track and adjust price points accordingly in the future to maximize profits. Business as usual.

    Shouldve been a snowcone machine for $5. Get teh mats from the MB, and then the machine (which works like a work bench) crafts you a snow cone that you can place in your house or on the MB or something.

    Edit: Maybe not MB cause that might be an issue of RMT...kinda.

    Well, while I agree that the $5 snow cones is hot garbage and a waste of $5 in my own opinion for people with common sense. I'd argue that the other items is 50/50 debatable because costumes, mounts, etc as extra incentives is kind of expected nowadays. I've bought some costumes beforehand and didn't have a problem about it since it's like a one-time splurge and I really liked the outfit and wanted to use it for my characters. It's not a matter of who has common sense or not to spend $12 on an outfit, it's just a matter of who finds value in that item or not. Now, I'm not justifying the original prices, don't get me wrong. They could be much cheaper or at least parts of bundles, especially the two carbuncle mounts. They should have been together, not separate.

    But, a digital snow cone? Man, I'll spend the $5 to get a real snow cone for myself.
