Stop Online Store Items

[Alicie]

You are paying for basic contents, (lore, quarterly patch updates exclusive PvP & raid mounts), also not forgetting mainly for SE server maintenance.

Fluff items on mogsation are additional items that you(we) don't have to pay for if we "dont want" to. They are purely for glam and for glam/blings only. Beating on this dead horse is only bringing miserly to yourself. IMO get over it and be happy, ya?

No, I believe I'm paying enough money to be awarded full game, with all it's content in it's entirety, not most of good cosmetic items being locked behind paywall. I would be fine if they were locked behind paywall in a free game (though a lot of free games also manage to give cosmetics for free), but not in a paid game with paid dlc and paid monthly subscription. I'm not paying this monthly subscription for them to use it to pay people to draw items that will be put behind paywall, I want these items to be awarded via in-game means.

No, I'm not going to get over it and I will constantly bring this to discussion and visibility. I'm a customer too and I would like quality of service for my money. It's $156/year for subscription and $40/2 years for DLC. It's $176/year, or $352 per DLC in total (assuming DLC lasts 2 years). It's a lot of money. And comparing to many other games, for just a sliver of the content. And no, handling one player online doesn't costs nearly as much. For that amount, imo, all the produced cosmetics should be included. We're getting less and less items added into game and more items added into online store. Either make game free if you want to put items into online store, or stop putting them into online store and put them into game.

We just got literally rewardless extreme trial and rewardless whatever that deep dungeon "ala ultimate difficulty". How'bout putting the content that was made between 7.3 to 7.35 for online store into that content instead?

Yeah just be happy that apparently one of the largest buy to play monthly fee MMO's in the world can only stay afloat because it has a cash slop! Just don't question why they constantly divert potentially fitting content rewards into the cash slop instead! It's cause of that scary lady and the mogstation team right? That thing that people NEVER wanna actually source and that apparently Yoshi-p has NO control over?! Enjoy the slop you're given because if you don't then you just hate the game/you're jaded/you're tired of the game and should just quit because criticism is bad because I'M personally having fun with my tray of slop!

You WILL take your unimpressive and unnoticeable title as a valid only reward for new difficult content and be happy while the mogsloption gets 5 new outfits!

Not enough people willing to quit over this VS number of people willing to buy the outfit. Simple business. It's hard to blame the devs when I see half the people wearing this stuff. Apparently that's exactly the sort of stuff they want to pay for.

There's a shitty title for Quantum. Not more.

[CidHeiral]

Wait, seriously? Why would... why would anyone even do them then? For the achievement points?

I'll admit I'm the first person to not care much for hardcore players or their content, but even I don't think they should receive NOTHING for their efforts.

The extreme trial gives you materials for augmented weapons and a chance for a mount to drop that normally takes 99 of those materials. The variable difficulty deep dungeon final boss drops various rewards and when done at max difficulty gives you a unique title and a Sack of First Light which can drop mounts you would otherwise have to farm 99 materials for.

I see the problem with the Cash Shop, and yes, the sheer scale of it is overwhelming. It is simply too much for any player to own everything, and the prices are far too expensive compared to other existing games.

I won't defend it, but I will say this: The shop literally has nothing of true value to purchase other maybe a couple of things like Cloud's bike. That bike looks cool and actually helps with speed across all maps, which makes it a (QoL) item.

Furthermore, purchasing a single emote for a single character is absolutely extreme; it's an unnecessary squeeze on players and should be an account-wide purchase. While I don't want them to remove the shop entirely, they absolutely need to revise it.

Sounds like you are game developer yourself. Can I play your game?

SDS Fenrir (bike) only works on the ground (not during flight). Slight advantage when collecting aether current for new expansion. (Almost negligible, and definitely not P2W).

Bloody hell, you're right! I always felt it was faster than the other flying mounts, but no, it only affect when grounded. As for the P2W, I should have said QoL - Quality of life for early game or like you said the Aether Current.

Easy fix: Stop BUYING them.
