More good glams and emotes on the shop

So you have stuff to do because you run alts

Do you not see the problem here

To be honest, I still haven't gotten around to doing everything on my main either.

My point remains: even if I only had the one character and got through everything I wanted to do, I'd be off playing something else until there is more gameplay content available here.

Paid outfits are not content in and of themselves. They augment your experience of the game while you are playing it, but they do not provide a reason to play it. One is not being substituted for the other.

If they were putting quests or battles as paid content, that would be a different argument.

The problem is misuse of resources

In this particular case it’s an old Korean glam but in general when people are begging for new content because the content patches are slower than a snail releasing new mogstation glams (even if different teams work on them) in a game we already pay for just isn’t a good look at all

[Krokov]

Because the content drought is becoming longer and longer between patches, patches are getting less and less content and they fill the gaps with overpriced mogstation items that barely function on their own designed characters

People shouldn’t be “fine” with less content because square certainly isn’t reducing the sub cost for releasing nothing of value on the last 2 years and why people think paying a sub so you can play other games is a good thing I’ll never know

Different strokes I guess, as said it doesn't bother me personally I know there's stuff I can do, content that's available if I so chose. New content is great granted, but should I be bothered cause I'm not getting it in this time that I want it?, I could be disappointed by that but since I have options available too me it is not a big thing, if you will, for me.

I just don't see that equivalence. The game is the game; Mog Station is like a supporting business off to the side of it, and anything released there makes me glance at it for a moment and then go back to what I was doing, whether it's playing this game or something else.

So are we gonna have another thread where the whales and mogstation defenders throw around the tired old argument of "noooooo you don't have to buy it!!!! it's oPtIoNaL!!!"

Yup.
Because even if its a tired old argument......its still true.
Its still a fact.

I might get it later, I think the jacket would look neat on my Monk

They could, yknow, add the items into the game as a reward from some event, or maybe from the Gold Saucer. But then they wouldn't make any extra money off it.

It goes well with darker colors of red, green and blue. Give it a try!

I might have to experiment with Yellows.
I like Yellow on my FemRoe. But Ill definitely Look at Reds as well

Yet another new cool glam on the shop and a nice emote as well (https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ff...gb/product/950 for reference for the glam)

Meanwhile the glams in the game :



(and yes that man is handsome, but come on SE)

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
