    If you wanted to make a point, you should have used a recent in-game cosmetic set like the Salon Server sets or Pajama sets or the Lawless Enforcer sets or the Varsity sets or the Happiness set (now that would have been a good choice) as a comparison.

    Instead you use a set added to the game over 8 years ago worn by a character that wasn't intended to wear it when it was originally added to the game and intentionally dyed a drab color by the player.

    You're scraping bottom in your desperation to get people to agree with you.

    I'd still pick the Thavnairian Bustier over the new Magitek set on the cash shop. It looks better and the aesthetic is represented in the game world. The Magitek set is unlike anything we've seen in the game world and really doesn't fit. I mean the description is correct is saying that it's eye-catching, but not in a favorable way. If they wanted to sell a Magitek themed set, they would have been better off choosing the catsuits from Sorrows of Werlyt.

    The Magic Trick? I don't see it getting much use (if any) outside of the RP venues. Looks like another item players will buy just because it is new, use for about a week then forget about like all the other emotes they never casually use.

    The framed expansion artwork set is the only recent addition to the cash shop that even faintly annoys me. Those would have been a nice reward for the Rising since they represent the game's lore since ARR. But we get plenty of other housing furnishings and I'm still more likely to use a frame with a picture from the Sightseeing Log than the expansion artwork. Those are just a bit too big for the way I like to decorate.

    So from my perspective, they've added some more items to the cash shop that wouldn't really be appealing as in-game rewards because I wouldn't use them. I'm fine if SE wants to sell them to other players.

    I'm sure there are other players who feel different but it's up to them to come forward with their thoughts.

    Imagine not getting the fact that it was a joke to use the thavnarian set. Woosh over your head eh ? even wrote under it "this man is handsome but come on SE" clearly showing that it was a joke

    Also for the rest of your post yeah idk, you're just being your usual you, not much I can say

    And you being your normal self looking for things to be negative about. I get some players hate like the cash shop but until you convince all players in every game to stop buying from them, it's going to be a part of gaming. Most players don't seem to care enough about how they spend their money for that to ever happen. Why wasting effort on a battle that you can only lose?

    Hope you don't have to continue switching to new forum avatars. We may not get along but you should be allowed to speak your mind like everyone else.

    Sadly its an FFXIV thing to not be able to speak your mind, its an entire mentality really that you should be following the herd, I aint part of that, so I didnt expect anything else, it's the same in the game too, you better not be agaisnt what is being said or risk getting banned, as for looking at things to be negative about, I have always been vehemently agaisnt the mogstation, and even more since the amazing street attire, some stuff could be in the game in form of grinds or anything else, but lately it's almost been only mogstation purchases.
