The increase in cashshop and merchandise

[sindriiisgaming]

... is highly concerning to me given the aweful state the game has been in since 6.1 which btw Is getting worse. If feels like they no longer care to make income through the game or even update the game. I am concerned this could lead to a rise in the cost of the monthly sub when s.e continues to bleed players and nobody buys the merch. The cashshop items are also not in super high demand..

Cloud was a good attempt to keep the game alive but- she is too difficult and toxic for pf, her bonus pops at ridiculous times (it popped at 3am my time when servers were down for maintenance and only lasted 3 hours after maintenance ended) but regardless this bonus is a fantastic idea that ex trials raids and any loot pinyatta content needs.

But even cloud is not what she could have been. Released
6 months into the tier one has to question what Is the point in doing savage beside her or even juno when she has no lock and they do perhaps if we released her earlier she could have served her intended purpose better... why do I bring this up. Because rn as it stands, Feb 26th 2025. THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO DO. And it's been this way since November.

This is causing players to leave the game as there is no more reason to sub and se continues to grift for money outside the gameplay I am very concerned where they will look next

most the thing you are also speaking about is about NPC gear or hair stuff they never planned us to get look I want yugiri hairstyle but I know the day I have it. it will be in the cash shop and I will be ok with it. because they want out of they're way to allow me to have it so I will pay those few bucks for it.

“This model that’s basically already in the game was never designed to actually exist so you should be damn glad they decided to be merciful and only make you pay 19.95 USD plus shipping and handling per character for the privilege of owning it”

I wouldn't care if we saw evidence of at least some of the money going back into the game, but we seem to be seeing less and less of that as the xpacs go on.

The microtransactions will continue until morale improves. /s

Hey devs the 1 player sindriiisgaming is bored. Quick make another expansion just for him and have it ready in 5 mins.

Hey devs the playerbase has collapsed back to pre pandemic numbers, maybe the current content cycle that would make continental drift jealous in its speed isn’t working

I'd be curious to see if there is actually an increase in these items compared to how previous expansions went

it will continue until the market crashes, but the new generation of gamers grew up with this, they don't know how it was before all this cash shop trash

Are folks so hard up financially that a $5 hairstyle is gonna break the bank? If that's the case, it's time to find a different hobby.
