A warning to FFXIV players

[Wavaryen]

Just because he said it does, doesn't mean it does. Considering less dungeons come out in a patch *One example*, evidence points towards that reinvesting profits into the game, is not the case.

Than you don't got to trust him, but with the mog station going down for a bit, and how many people complaining about the mount not showing up in the mail. It looks like the community has spoken and we are ok with the cash shop.

I like the Mog Station cash shop. It's nice to treat myself - or friends to something from there occasionally. It's just fluff items after all. I'm not sure what kind of conspiracy you think the Mog Station is a front for, but I keep being surprised by the number of people who play this game - apparently - whilst appearing to think that SE is 'out to get them' somehow. Don't give SE your money if you don't want to, it's not obligatory

Bunch of new theads created by people crying over a new mount being put in mogstation...

Price is too high blah blah blah...

They're going to monetize everything blah blah blah...

I want all the stuff for free in game without having to play the game blah blah blah...

IMO what every one of these threads feel like is people that want X item in the mogstation but lack the disposable income to buy said item. Everything else just feels like an excuse to cover up a personal situation.

Buy it if you want it, Don't by it if you don't want it or can't afford it. It's literally a Press X or Press O situation and these threads feel akin to those people that cry and moan about how much they hate a specific TV show but keep watching every new episode that comes out for it when it's released just so they can complain about how much they hate it some more.

So now, their incompetence is evidence that the community as a whole, supports a cash shop? LOL.

Get ready for the next round in 2 months time when the next hot ticket item is added to the mogstation.

We should make a megathread or something.

[KayRadley]

We should make a megathread or something.

That won't help. Just look at all the people griping about housing in General, even though we have a Housing forum.

-snip-

I'll complain about mogstation when/if:

A) proceeds stop paying for servers, server upgrades, and even data centers
B) they consider an idea such as the WoW token
C) they add items that affect player power in the sense of endgame content

Until then I'm not concerned.

I mean ya? So many people flood to buy it. If they was not making profits off it. Do you think they would keep doing it.


Cash shop is here to stay. If that bothers you and the enjoyment you get out the game. You better adapt, or quit. that is your only two options. Do you think they would waste time with it, if they was not making massive profits off it?

I have seen a lot of people defending the mogstation recently because of comments made by people who came from WoW. With the recent mount that has come to the mogstation it's gotten even louder. Let me explain the reason they are upset and saying something because we've seen and heard it all before and most others have too if you've played a game in the last 4 years. This is a nudge they are gonna keep taking steps over the line to see how far they can move it. Being an ablest and going "oh its not as bad <insert comment about WoW token here" is missing the point entirely the cash shop in WoW used to be almost a mirror of yours now a few mounts and outfits and maybe a boost depending on when you were around. The WoW token is what happens when you just let companies keep taking steps over the line we didn't just start with a WoW token. WoW didn't start as a bad game, My advice is instead of going "omg WoW bad haha" and then proceeding to make the same mistakes we did in allowing blizz to not only go this far but also allow the ffxiv team to make the same mistakes is Honestly Idiotic. Wake up for a moment and realize what this mount represents and how far they've already gone. They arn't gods you shouldn't worship them they did good with their game but the cash shop is actually awful. The WoW token and other things in that shop are "Optional" too btw if you wanna have that mentality.

I honestly prefer a cash shop mount than one that's locked behind extremely low RNG from extremely difficult or long raid to clear.

I really don't understand what's the big deal about cash shop mounts in a p2p game. Would it make you feel better if they gated your mount behind 1 month's worth of grind time so that instead of spending only money for the mount you would now spend and your time? You are already paying to play so if they make it too difficult or grindy to obtain they would be still making money from you in an indirect way. I don't get your point.
