Acceptable Cash Shop Items: Suggestions!

[Gramul]

What the hell is even going on in this thread anymore?

Are we talking about poetry with the analogy and metaphor and figurative speech?

I would like to start a discussion of suggestions for acceptable (not P2W) items.... I just want to help steer it in a good direction.

I think it was a terrible idea, why not make all the "suggested" item available in game?!
If it is not P2W, then pay for what? Why make something could be available in game to be sold seperately?

If this happens, all coming "items, effects, and services" would be moved to the shop predictably. ^^;

The idea of a cash shop in this game is beyond stupid, this isn't some trashy F2P game. Don't give them any ideas...

No cash shop of any kind should exist in a subscription based game. That includes retainers/fantasia and items "just" for vanity. I'll tolerate it for now because I don't really care about either retainers or fantasia, and I still really like the game, but if it escalates any further i'll be taking my money elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure you could get the Dalamud Minion in-game

That was really more of a bonus for an extremely overpriced soundtrack.

104 tracks on a blue-ray

It's mostly songs we already had with the 1.0 disk. You technically already had them. And that one came with a whole game at half the base cost.
I find music in general is a bit overpriced, but that may be just the fact I live in an area where music is plentiful and cheap to harvest.

This is because the OST with the Dalamud minion is the 1.0 disk.

The ARR disk give you a Bahamut minion

Analogies are fun.

Cash shops are like online stores. So if you enjoy ordering things from Amazon, ebay, or other online shops, without moving from your computer, you'd love a cash shop.

The analogy falls slightly short at the fact that worst case cash shops charge you tenfold of the item value, or they steal your bike to sell it to you. But for a really good shop, the analogy is perfect.
