Came to make a post about this myself today, almost surprised to see a thread already up. In general, I've nothing against the cash shop. I know it lets Yoshi have more control over other aspects and outright pays for parts of the game. I've also bought plenty of items from it myself, in pretty much every category. Now... that said...

The rising increase in costs solely because of non-genderlocked items is absolutely ridiculous. $18 for a glam is already a stupid cost, but now SE just has the absolute audacity to tell us "Hey, now you get some extra pants, so cough up the dough!" even though if the items were genderlocked still, they'd both exist regardless. They're not doing any extra work, yet they're taking on an extra charge for 0 reason. It's absolutely scummy as all heck and completely indefensible. Honestly the Fat Cat outfit went from an insta buy to something I'm not even thinking about. I haven't even bought the streetwear set yet which I'm considerably more interested in.

That's not even talking up the point that of all things that might be egregiously placed on the eshop instead of in-game methods, it's the emote category. So many absolutely basic emotes should be in-game rewards and just aren't, and this is the latest one. So even though I've been wanting this emote like the rest of the community from the minute we saw Pagaga, I won't be picking it up either. SE needs to cut this crap out and stick things back in the game where they belong.
