Garlond GL-IS pricing: how is no one talking about this?

[Jojoya]

The fact that they are a different team is irrelevant in that case, what i mean by "worse" is that it de-incentivize making the game better and investing resources in it to do so if they can rely more and more on the mogstation for income. It's a matter of optimizing the number, do the bare minimum put people on other project, monitor how it goes try to push the limit little by little and if the revenue metrics are still up even if they lose a few players here and there, that's all good.

That's how i see the cash shop success impacting negatively on the game.

Now i might be wrong and maybe 7.0 will be the best expansion FF14 ever had but right now i feel like the last year and a half have been quite underwhelming even after taking a lot of break.

Without a good game that people want to play, the Mogstation would stop making money. After all, what is on it is only useful when you are playing the game.

If anything, it should be incentivizing them to make the game better. The happier customers are, the more they will spend on additional products (if they have the means).

The implication Effort -> Satisfaction is not -so true-.
For example, doing the latest savage you win the mount at the first kill (kill -> roll 99 -> yay whistle). Does this make the mount less desirable than doing 100 tokens? do you pass if the whistle drop because you would lose satisfaction?
In real life, if you inherit a nice house, do you feel the house of less value because you did not have to pay mountains of debts?

I think that it's reasonable you don't, we don't need to do the hard way to feel we achieved something.
The way we earned something, the "suffering" does not make the item more desirable. The value is a bond between the item and us, in a more subtle way than the sweat we dropped

I'm thinking similar to you though maybe not exactly the same.

Satisfaction can come from having a story about how something was obtained. That how doesn't have to be related to long grinds and "suffering", it just needs to have a component that's memorable.

Lmao idk, you two are kinda taking an L here

Like the whole reason we're in this mess is bc people keep buy mounts

Sadly people can't help themselves so honestly we need government intervention to regulate microtransactions.

Welcome to Capitalism. This is pennies compared to the rest of the BS in the world. $500+ for a medicine that costs around $12 to make??? Can't regulate that, it would "stifle" competition.

Actually everyone's intelligence is insulted whenever they look at the forums

Unironically Agree.
Thats been my experience on this Forum the past 4 years.

Like taking out your credit card and buying it off the mogstore?

Mount music is repetitive and annoying.

The game is in a bad spot. Nobody is disagreeing with that.

"Nobody"?

You may think that. I dont.

Others dont.

Game is fine and I am looking forward to a load of excitement when FanFest kicks off, along with thousands of others who enjoy the game immensely.

On other news, I just grabbed some fantasias and that new jump emote.
