    And I wonder how they offset the cost of not adjusting the sub price with rising inflation so that way they can still make more profit for the CEO/shareholder reports while not having people quit on masse...oh wait.

    Make no mistake; mogstation is 90% the reason you enjoy a non-rising sub cost since 2013.

    You have the numbers?

    Because for near a decade i've seen the lack and failures in service of the game - Making me wish the sub would increase.
    For years the excuse of the cash shop defenders is that they provide a better service thanks to it - Yet service is the same if not worse as time goes by.

    So please, you have any link between the cash shop existence and the actual quality and price of the product being produced and delivered?


    That japanese corporates are more moderate than their american counterparts when it comes to show-off their profits (ala bobby kotick).

    I'd also like the evidence of this. I don't really have an issue with the cash shop. However, I do take issue with some of the claims being made, especially since we don't really have intimate knowledge of how SE slices and dices its fixed and variable costs for the game up, and also how they distribute the profit the subs are generating - subs which are steadily increasing.

That's who my observation was directed at.

    I don't actually care about the cash shop, I just think the dynamics that pop up in the debate around it are really bizarre.
    Some people appear to camp threads to tell other players to stop posting feedback and then try claim they should stop being so invested in the issue, or "chill out", when it's them camping just about every thread to gatekeep. It's really weird.
