"Add all DLC to Cart" - Mogstation Cash Shop is akin to a Train Simulator Price Tag

[KenZentra]

They add the stuff in during patches. Its not really getting updated every few weeks.

Also "barely anything in game" is a flat out lie. The cash shop is so small compared to what is available in game lol.


Tho, maybe it seems like it gets more stuff if you don't actually play the game.

Most stuff that is added to game requires a patch if you want to be technical about it, though I dont really recall there being a major patch 5 days ago when the emote "Joyous Leaping" was introduced. Does the Christmas event count as patch?

Patch 6.51 was released on October 31st, I think? Since then we've had:
November 20 - Emote: Eat Pizza, and Pepperoni Pizza Set
December 15 - Authentic Illuminated Tree, Mount: Starlight Steed (Single Character), and Emote: Joyous Leaping
December 28 - Heavensturn Attire, Authentic Heavensturn Crane Banner
Skimming through the news tracker on the Lodestone, most major patches usually have at least 1 update afterwards for optional items, but thats not really at the same time as a patch is released. Maybe I'll try to make a timeline sometime for when optional items get added and when patches come out.

The items are added in with major patches, and then released on the Mogstation later.



It's been this way since the cash shop released in late 2014.

When it comes to event items and the like, they add the item during the main patch and then they just turn it on later.

Yeah, I said that too. Is it really "added" to the game if they make it available weeks later, though? I'd say no. The cash shop itself does get updated at least as much as, if not more often than, the main game. Not saying it gets more stuff than a patch has, just that it gets updated more.

Are the level 89 quests really "added" to the game if it takes you time to gain 9 levels to get to that point?

At this point the argument is quibbling about semantics.

Yes, they are really "added" to the game.
You can get to level 89 quests by leveling up. Your access to that content is restricted by your level, which you can increase at your leisure.
Cash shop items that are not released cannot be accessed in any way possible until it is added to the cash shop weeks later.
Completely different.

I agree though, its just about semantics which I guess you wanted to add to. In the end, the cash shop gets updated more frequently, and the items released weeks after a patch.
