Some thoughts about the items on sell on the mog station

I am advocating for the CONSUMER to voice their opinions with their wallets. Nothing to do with the business. The business is obviously successful despite the people who are angry over $7 emotes.

While already paying a sub.

It's a perfectly okay thing considering YOU DON'T NEED IT.

You don't need anything in this game. What's your point? Having to buy something multiple times to have it on different characters is still ridiculous.

The pricing model for subscriptions also hasn't changed since the game came out even though inflation continues to make the subscription fee less and less valuable. If they make up that difference via the Mogstation, it means people who can go without a few cosmetic items basically get a deal on their sub since SE has to make up that money somewhere.

I think at some point the game will have a log kinda like WoW has with account bound minions and such. In the meantime, I just don't buy mogstation stuff unless it's something I really want at the time.

I think items like fantasias and the wedding stuff are fine, but it would be neat to see SE add more side-questing with cosmetic/mount/emote rewards into the game.

more than a few of the things added to the mogstation were from the Korean/Chinese versions of the game. Just be glad we even have a chance to get them at all since they were made for those versions.

So you are advocating for the abandonment of a service instead of change, a more positive solution or even an answer from the decision makers... I don't think this was covered in business class.

As long as the cash shop makes them money (which it does) it will stay as is. As a consumer you really only have one way of protest. Your wallet. If a service bothers you that much stop using it.

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.

There were luxury items before the cash shop came along as well, but they were all obtainable with effort instead of opening your wallet. The cashshop is a shill pure and simple.

What they should do is just make cash shop items sellable on the market board. That way people opposed to the cash shop can get it for gil if they want (albeit for a very high fee), and the person selling gets well paid. It would also have the benefit of fighting illegal RMT by keeping the RMT in-house. Why go to some shady site and give them your credit card details for some gil when you can just buy a Cloud bike and sell it on the MB for 150m.

It sucks you can't do this honestly. Especially for housing. Sure you can have a convoluted in game work around (and leave it to the roll of dice so the person doesn't just keep your items), but it'd be a lot more simple to just have the gold walls on the MB for 10m.
