Question: If you could use RL money transaction to pay for you house/land would you

[Preypacer]

So much naivety up in here.

I wouldn't spend rl cash on top of sub, no. But if it's an option for others, whatever. People who think others buying shit in a cash shop is losertastic "cheapens" their experience of the game are laughable. SE is out to make cash so please drop the threats of "if cash shop I'm out".

So it's only about what would affect other people, eh? It hasn't occurred to you that when it's said "people shouldn't have to pay more money for cash shop items in a game they're already paying a sub for", that those making that argument are, in fact, including themselves?

Here's a scenario for you...

Let's say, in some insane alternate dimension, SE has decided to add a cash shop to the game. There's an item they're selling that I really dig and would like to have. But oh, it's not available by playing the game. It has to be bought from the Cash Shop, for the equivalent of $10 (just an arbitrary number).

So now all of a sudden, it's not affecting "someone else". It's affecting me. I have to either cough up the $10 - on top of my sub fee - for that item. Or I have to do without it. Those are my "choices" on the matter.

If I would rather earn the item in-game by crafting, or questing, or as a rare drop, or buying it from another player with in-game gil and none of those options are available to me.... it's "cheapening"(to use your term) my experience. Similarly, if I have to spend extra real $$$ to obtain that item, just so I can enjoy the game as I'd like to - regardless of what others think of the item or its worth - then my experience is being "cheapened" as well. And for others, it's potentially cheapening theirs.

Nice attempt at spinning and undermining the actual issue people have. But, well, it failed.
