Uh? Last year's items? They've been doing that ever since Moonfire is a thing. They always add last year's stuff to the cash shop. Wish it was just earnable in-game, but this isn't anything new. Shouldn't be surprising.

Also, it's been a while, but wasn't it confirmed that CBUIII doesn't actually control the cash shop? Wasn't it someone else in charge? I thought at some point they said it was something like "The Mog Station Lady"? I honestly don't remember the actual facts though.

Yes CBUIII does not control it. Yoshi talked about it once called the exec who controls the mog station a baroness and scary..

It’s almost like they’re surprised they put stuff into the cash shop, there is still plenty of gear, mounts and minions etc in the game which you can earn in game unlike say WoW, ESO, BDO, Blue Protocol etc etc

What? FF14 has exponentially more items in the cash shop then WoW. I can't speak for the other games though.

Edit: I was bored and had nothing better to do, so I went and did some counting.

WoW Cash Shop (Excluding services like level boost, realm transfer, etc)
25 mounts
25 pets (minions)
1 toy
5 glamour sets

FFXIV Cash Shop (Still excluding services and fantasia)
121 Costume Sets
31 Mounts
47 Emotes
2 Eternal Bond sets
30 Weapon glamours
119 Armour Glamours
20 Accessories
41 Minions
12 Chocobo Bardings
44 Orchestrion Rolls
157 Housing Items
2 Face Paints
1 Fashion Accessory

Sorry the truth hurts your little ego and you missed yoshi discussing it. Guessing your seething hate kept you from watching it.

Actually it's even worse if that's the truth. Shifting blame to some unknown element because he's to cowardice to take responsibility lmao.

This community... I don't know what to say other than people that defending this game deserved the shitty game we have now.

I don't usually do BLU savage raids, but I probably would have gotten around to it if they had Shadowkeeper as the reward. I'm not doing old savage raids as BLU for a title as bad as "Forbidden Blue".

well, too bad, if you want rewards you gotta pay for them, not play for them. Thats the world we play in now.

It sadly is the mog station is outside cbuIII control and under the control of different exec. It was no Yoshi choice not have control it was SE choice. Guess what answer they gave him when he last asked for a budget increase..not hard to guess.

I honestly wonder if the people making comments such as this have actually played the likes of World of Warcraft. Blizzard don't exactly skimp when it comes to dangling carrots on the stick to work towards in-game. There's treasures in the open world to hunt down, puzzles to solve, various reputations to grind and unlock rewards and the most recent patch added 'Time Rifts' which have multiple different vendors offering multiple mounts, pets, toys and glamour options.

It's always struck me as really strange how a vocal portion of FFXIV's community allow the development team to get away with never really innovating or offering more in-game rewards to please a greater variety of players.

I don't believe any of this pathetic excuses, I heard it first hand from ex-sqex employee working on FFXIV. When I asked them, they laughing their ass off, there is no such thing as angry lady LMAO....

Still bored so I went through and added the price of all WoW cash shop items, which comes out to $935
I don't have nearly enough time to add up all the FF14 items but someone did it in 2020 and came out to $2616.50, and that was three years ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ng_on_the_mog/)
