New Mog Station items?

[Delis]

We pay a subscription every month
this isn't a F2P game.

Unlike the money from your subscription all of the money from Mogstation goes to the FFXIV department of SE. Your subscription goes to SE and they give FFXIV a budget. I have no problem using mog station because 1) all the money goes to the ffxiv team and 2) it is optional and has no advantage to buying something from the mogstation

Because they're a company that is required to make money to continue. I see nothing wrong with asking for more mogstation items, especially if you enjoy the game.

Wow, I had no idea that FFXIV was in such dire financial straits that they forced to debase themselves with a cash shop. I hope Square Enix gets profitable soon or we may end up losing FFXIV!

Simply trying to say a business is a business and that they are exactly the same at that general level is pointless, though. You could compare any two companies in such a way.

How is it pointless? You seem to disagree and agree with me in the span of 2 sentences.

So why can't we just sell mogstation items in the MB and why don't we have challenge logs or quests to farm money for it? It shouldn't be as bad for SE's subscription based MMO if you compare it to Sega's f2p model.

Well lets think on that shall we ah yes.. because if they allowed thier mog station items to be put on the market board the already fubar mb economy would hit whole new levels of FUBAR you think a few million for a peice of level 50 crafted gear is bad... how would you like to pay 65million a peice because some schlub had a decent sized wallet and wanted gil.

A business is a business. In that respect they are exactly the same. However, EA is terrible is terrible at being one. They've been going down hill for awhile.

Exactly, both are a business. It all boils down in the end to "is the amount I'm paying for this game/service justified?". Just look at the sims 4 https://www.pcgamesn.com/the-sims-4/sims-4-dlc-price

People in this thread are showing another example of this community's low tier attitude of 'I don't want you to have what you'd like, so you can't have it."

If people want to purchase unique cosmetic items. Then they should be allowed to do so. Its their God given right to use their money how they wish. No one has any right to tell them they are wrong. Period.

If anyone is jealous or envious, they can bottle that up and shove it. No one cares.

People have a divine right to use their money for evil but we have no right to tell them right from wrong? What kind of message is this?

Oh wow! Sarcasm! Original! Again, to repeat myself since you don't seem to understand, you don't have to buy anything from it. Move on.

what the hell does religion have to do with economics?!
i smell more of a troll attempt than an actual arguement.

What you might consider wrong, others might consider right. You might have a religious person telling you that what you're doing is wrong and a sin, while a secular person would tell you it's not.

But when it comes to legal or not, then that's a different story.
