Why do casual players seem entitled to cosmetic items added in game?

[Supersnow845]

1) It means that hairstyles an character customization shouldn't be locked behind content that the minor of the player base interacts with. In the past this type of content never had hairstyles in them. They usually only have glam gear, glowly weapons, and mounts.

2) Plz...I have never seen a hardcore raider that cares that deeply about what their character looks like. Im sure there are some and that's why I said most, not all hardcore raiders. Either way, they most likely wouldn't even be that upset if a hairstyle were more available to everyone.

3) We not talking about some glamour items or mounts here. Hairstyles are character customization. Hair is the only thing you can change in this game since the choices in the character customize are VERY limited. Im fine with glamour items being locked behind content that ppl may not like to do. I also want things that are locked behind content I don't want to touch and guess what Im not complaining about that bc they are weapons and gear. Also most of the other content in this game has a somewhat long life to it but these new things SE has come up with like this 24-man savage and Crit dun don't...I bet you that in 6 months this fight be dead and rarely run, making the hairstyle even harder to get than it is now.

So your entire argument basically amounts to “I feel like casual players care more about their characters appearance than high end players” with literally zero evidence to support it then declaring that based on that fundamental glam items should be accessible to casuals (even though you can just buy the hairstyle)

No that's not my entire argument. Its one of the reasons. I listed others if you actually care to read them. I agreed with you about PCT on the PCT threads but I don't agree with you on this. Its the fact they added a hairstyle to a type of content that has been proven will die after the hardcore raider are done with it. We saw it with Crit duns and we see it happen again with this content. Also yes you can buy it but tell me how many casual players you know have 50 to 100 mil gil just sitting around? That price isn't going to go down either since farming the hairstyle isn't easy(46 clears I believe Mr happy said in his video today about this). As I said before it will get even harder to get in few months when ppl get bored of the fight and move on to the next shiny new fight. Like I said one another reply to you today, my ONLY issue is the hairstyle and that it. The fight already have 2 MOUNTS, a minion and 730i glam gear. If it also needed the hairstyle to get ppl to clear the fight then maybe just maybe the devs should used the time design this fight for something ease that the midcore players could also enjoy.

Tbh I don’t really care if you agreed with me on a different thread that is really meaningless to an unrelated point

Okay so the other part of your point is “content will die because there isn’t enough incentive to run it so the solution is to give it even less rewards to ensure it’ll die even faster”. Like I’m not sure how to explain that if you are worried about content dying then ripping even more rewards out of it is exactly what you shouldn’t be doing as most people who cleared criterion agree it’s really good content it just does because it has no rewards. An expensive hairstyle and mounts is the bare minimum of what rewards should be in the content. That’s about the same rewards as DRN of all content

And where is this idea coming from that casual players are unlikely to have money lying around, if anything they should have more money than hardcore players because being a casual is free, like what are you even spending money on as a casual

Where the hell are they getting the money from? Most ppl I know are not making mils and mils of gil a month in this game unless they are really into crafting. AGAIN Im not saying the fight shouldn't have rewards. Im saying one of the rewards shouldn't be a damn hairstyle. How is that so hard to understand???? Either we never going to see eye to eye on this so I won't be replying to you on this topic anymore. The fact this hairstyle is in thing savage-level fight is dumb and its not going to save the fight either. This one hairstyle isn't going to keep this fight popular for months and months so I don't think removing will change anything. Either enjoy the nightmare that is PF for this dumbass content. Enjoy it being died in 6 months aswell.

Submarines are ~500k per day for basically just logging in.

Do you realize that is just FC? You know everyone doesn't have access to subs, right? Only FCs with houses can use subs.

Make an alt. Set up an FC. Buy a small house (small FC houses are incredibly easy to get).
