Online Store is Getting Worse!

Considering you are the person who said that island was long lasting content and repeatable by "changing the places of the landmarks and swapping their spot", this post is not a surprise in any way.

Compare the store glams and in game glams and tell me the quality of the in game ones are anywhere near the shop ones.

What are you even talking about? Are you really trying to compare shop glams to raid gear, dungeon gear, etc.?

I am comparing all the in game looks agaisnt all of the shop ones, and yes, the shop ones are vastly superior and of higher quality, if you deny that, I have no idea what to tell you.

Yeah. You have no idea alright.

That honestly depends. Are we talking about the general quality of game items vs store items, or personal preference on specific/popularly worn items from the store vs stuff given to us in the game?

Because if it's the latter, then some items like the Palaka set, Skalla set or the Neo-Ishgardian set at least look somewhat good for an adventurer style, while other stuff in the cash shop look awkward. Especially against stuff from the Chinese/Korean stores, which aren't made by Square and don't have the same care for quality. The reception at the time of the white and black gowns with the angel wings was that the wings looked like they were made of cardboard. And, well, this is keeping in mind that it's subjective anyway.
And it really hinges on the players wearing it. There's always someone who would wear something, no matter how ugly we think it is. I personally find the Bonewicca casting gear absolutely gross on large bodies, but some people will still wear them. Same as the Faerie Tale dress, that looks way too bad. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.

If it's the former, well... Generally speaking the store does have more diverse and "cooler" stuff than the game, which all look rather standardized. At least across the roles; sure, there's variety in shape, but the design philosophy for casters is nearly always the same. With a lot of models being reused, so if there are flaws with the original design, odds are we're getting those flaws on clones. Whereas the cash shop tends to go for more "original" designs, so they'll usually try to keep the quality somewhat higher than expected.

Though do keep in mind that the Fat Cat onesie is glitched for Lalafell emotes. That shouldn't really happen, especially not in a store-bought item.

Yeah. You have no idea alright.

So both agree that the cash shop items' prices should be lower because you believe the in-game items' quality is higher. (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

You're comparing armor to casual wear...
Not a fair comparison.
If you compare casual glamour versus casual glamour, the shop wins against most of the in game stuff.
