Online Store is Getting Worse!

[magitekLuna]

You are under the impression that glamours and mounts are created for the Mog Store for a Western audience. The reality is that many of those items are created for other markets first -- ones that do not pay a monthly subscription fee. The business unit in charge of those items is not directly under the control of the game's Producer. That business unit assesses the market and then tasks the game's art department with creating the item in-game.

From what little I've been able to glean, both South Korea and mainland China have a per-hour cost that, at least 8 years back, was the equivalent of about US10cents per hour of play. It is unclear whether they pay for expansions as a separate charge. Both South Korea and mainland China servers are entirely separate from the rest of the world. The companies that own and operate the servers provide localizations and customizations. Some of the items that first appeared on the Korean 'Mog Store' have migrated to our own Mog Stores -- the Street Attire set is one of those items.

then sell them for like 5$ and now 99% of the non happy people are gone. i like it to be in game but this train leave long ago. you did not touched on the question i asked at all. so i ask one more time.
Why you think it's ok that an item be it glam or mount worth more (by the price SE made) that any patch ever? Did any one worked more on a glam that one a raid? Or even a dungeon? Worked more that on all the in game gear sets we got in each patch? How you justify that?

This first question doesn't really make sense. The value of any patch varies from person to person and how long they remain subscribed during each cycle.

Did anyone work more on anything? Of course they did. If time is money, then the hours invested in pursuing one item or another easily exceed the value of a store item, though there's little comparison there as the items tend to be vastly different and it all comes down to personal taste. Everyone justifies purchases in their own way.

I have nothing to do with it. This is the world we live in.

P.S. Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.

QUESTION:Why did the devs give the greenlight to make a 5 minute slice of life cutscene in game but put critical parts of XIV lore about the sundering in Babylon's Fall? :^D

you understand that if you and people like you (clearly you alone is insignificant as we as me) stop support it then it will not be a thing

Obviously, but that's not going to happen, so there's no use getting wound up about it.
