Online store prices are outrageously high!

[JamieRose]

We just had a store-wide sale that ended less than a month ago. The one before that was during last year's Rising - I remember that because I was expecting to wait the year for it to come around again.

Inbetween I'm sure we've had smaller sales, though they weren't what I was looking for personally. But even if there wasn't anything else within your definition, we have certainly had at least two sales in your time here so either you're not watching that closely or you're exaggerating.

Yes, I was paying attention to sales prior to Rising. The sales were for fantasias and for story/level skip packs which I don't need or want. The sale for the stuff I did want didn't go long enough for me to get more than a few very low price items. I know you all are super rich and can afford everything you want, but some of us are not so lucky.

I want you to go play Tera and ESO or any EA game and come back to this one.

I already played ESO before playing this. I bought nothing from their cash shop.

I'd be almost ok with the prices if they were like the lowered sale prices all the time (at least for furniture or dyes) and if all items were account-wide.

I think I once read that they only have a limited number of slots for account-wide items because of some technical limitations, that's why they can't make everything account-wide. Don't know if that's true, but it sounds weird enough... ;D

The more I hear the term "technical limitations" from Squeenix the more I think it's a convenient excuse they came up with on the fly.

Sorry but this sounds extremely st*pid. Are you familiar with the word "Luxury"? because that's exactly what those items are. Things made for the people who can pay for them. Plain and simple. On the top of that, those luxuries are 100% unnecesary to play this game at its fullest.


It's like complaining about not being able to afford a Ferrari or the latest iPhone.

Oh, if only that were the case. No, I'm not even remotely rich at all and I doubt that's the case for most of the people here either. I just know how to budget for the occasional online purchase if I truly can't live without it. Even if it takes me months to do so.

Ah that's fair, I retract my earlier statement then. I hadn't realized Tera had gotten that bad since last I played.

Yeah, exactly. Most people have to take it a day or a week at a time. I'm no different. If I want something from the cash shop, chances are I have to make a choice between that or something else because I generally can't do both. There are far more important things to worry about most of the time.

I wish it hadn't gotten that bad... and that was a few years ago mind you since I last played. I touched it here and there on PS4 and it's worst. But no worries I wasn't mad at you or anything. I just needed you to know T.T The rocker outfit scared me.

The Rising 2019 had a Mogstation storewide sale that included mounts, minions, bardings and costumes for 30% off. The Fantasia and story/level skip sale you're referring to came many months after, November in fact, into January this year.

There has been two sales in the time period of your playtime you dictated; seeing as you have the Brave New Y'shtola minion, one can only assume you didn't pay for it seeing as you so vehemently detest the prices dictated by the Mogstation meaning you were present for said sale in 2019. So no, there has been two sales, not one. If you chose not to take advantage of either of these sales that's a you problem.
