Some thoughts about the items on sell on the mog station

[Enla]

They're luxury products specifically designed to be sold to players willing to pay a premium for bonus goods. It's a sound business practice and a highly successful one.

Not to mention that I do remember hearing that the Mog Station was one of the few avenues of money making that mostly goes back into FFXIV; though I'm having a hell of a time sourcing that claim so if anyone has a source that proves or disproves that I'd be grateful! Also most of the exclusive items that aren't event based on the Mog Station these days were either exclusively designed for it /or/ turn overs from international events for the game. Korea and China both have events that we aren't privvy to in the rest of the world and rather than keep the items from us entirely as they used to do, we now get the chance to get them off the Mog Station instead. It's not exactly ideal, but for me it is a better alternative to never getting those items to begin with.

Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of the prices either, but as the saying goes you need to vote with your wallet. I stopped buying most things from the Mog Station when their prices grew beyond what I was comfortable with.

• Spend the cash shop proceeds on the game and blow all that sweet sub money on FFXV DLC.
  
  or
  
  
• Spend the subscription money on the game and use the big stack of cash shop funds to do a HD FFVII remake.

Doesn't really matter. End result is the same.

At best the shop is making us look a little better in financial reports and leading to FFXIV getting allocated a little more funding. Maybe.
