New Mogstore "Supply kit" good will or desperation?

[Bonoki]

How come these versions of the emotes and parasol are account-wide but buying them normally is character-based?

This is quite honestly, the question we all should be asking here.

At this Point, why is SE selling those "old" Earrings? Why has that lazy Bunch not made some new ones? Another Design, another Name? Same for the All Saints Wake Glamour Reward. Was it so hard to create something new? How often did we had that design now as Glamour? Besides that this design is so male, not a single peace for females.

If I had to guess it's because it's the one that people liked the aesthetics of most and putting the lv90 one in there would make everyone who bought the pre-order mad (This does not apply if you had the Endwalker pre-order since there's now 20 levels where it doesn't apply, not 10)
I'll agree on the outfit, the female version of it looks far too masculine-cut.

Honestly my biggest issue is this totally negates a good past reward of the Bozjan Earring that had a 10% exp boost below level 80 ( but you had to be level 71 to equip it for some reason). I would have preferred to see that buffed with the level restriction removed and more things made like it as rewards over just outright selling a past pre-order reward on the mogstation.

While it's obviously targeted toward new players, the Fantasia does make the whole pack more interesting for older players and I wouldn't be surprise to see more of those in the future, compensating subs loss by adding more and more things in the shop seems to be the path they chose and i can see why : it's cheaper to sell a pack of existing item for 6 bucks than to go back to a more reasonable patch cycle and give more content to keep those subs running.

But for what reason should we pre order the next expansion, if the pre order Bonus Items gets sold in the Shop?

Well, I certainly would want a way to get +30% XP from levels 1 through 80 on a new character over the next 2+ years. Note that it stops working once you get to the Endwalker expansion ... the earring is not the same as the one you get with the Dawntrail expansion.

Account-wide sounds... nice? (◔_◔)
As serial alt maker.
If only the earrings were unique. Oh well, it seems like grab bag of old stuff.

The Bozjan earring is still BIS in Bozja, so nothing has changed.

We know the answer. Greedy corporation. It has not gotten as bad as activision, so l am putting up with it for now.

I feel like as a fellow sufferer of F2P MMO it does remind me of their starter packs which usually contained like 1 useful items with tons of fillers. I mean, if you wanted to buy all account fanta anyway it's the only thing worth the money there so maybe?

I have the earring it's OK not really something that would convince me to spend money alone I don't pay a lot of attn to earrings which are often hidden depending if aura.

Collectables usually increase in value when they get older. At least in bragging rights, I mean you can't sell these digital items or anything.

The older an item gets the less people are still around owning them. Which makes the item more rare and special.

That's exactly what the problem with these "digital exclusive forever" things is. You can't sell them second-hand like physical collector items, so anyone entering the fandom after the small window of chance to get it – in a game potentially lasting for decades – will never have a chance to buy it, and people who leave the game have no way of passing on their collected items even if they wanted to, so those items are effectively deleted from the game. Cool items basically cease to exist.

If anything I always feel *bad* when I have exclusive items nobody else can ever get in other online games, and actually *avoid* using them most of the time so I don't have to disappoint someone when they ask "where can I get that".

This is my feeling too; it was awful when the Makai gear stopped being available because I felt bad wearing cool stuff that other people couldn't get.
