Cash shop confirmed

[Mholito]

Did it ever not?

What do you think the word "content" means, exactly?

I consider content to be actual gameplay, not optional caracter customization. Some people seem to have a problem understanding that not everyone needs to have absolutely everything in the game.

Some people also have a problem understanding that different people enjoy the game for different things. Did you know there are people that enjoy collecting vanity items? *Gasp* I know, someone who plays for a different reason than you. But as long as the new cash shop doesn't impact what YOU play the game for it's all good right? So selfish.

I enjoy getting cosmetic stuff too, but I'm not going to let myself get bothered by the existence of stuff that's not available "in-game". One can only use so much vanity gear at one time anyway.

i am posting in this trainwreck simply to say that i was there that day

EDIT: Also to point and laugh at everyone whining about cosmetic items.

Vanity stuff counts as content, now?

Yes, "vanity stuff" -- mounts, weapon/armor skins, minions, etc. -- is and has always been content. Are you telling me you have never had any desire, or spent any time/effort, to get any non-mandatory items in the game because you thought they looked cool? Why would the game have this "glamour" system to change gear appearances, if it isn't content? Why can we change hair styles? Why don't we all just look the same? After all, it clearly doesn't matter, right? Only stats and numbers and being able to chart our DPS is real "content."

You yourself seem to be wearing a Slime King hat in your player avatar pic. Well, from now on you can expect all the Slime King hats to be cut out of the game you already bought and paid a subscription for. From now on, they will be blocked behind an extra cost.

Tell me one item that they removed from the game and put behind a paywall!

Odin's mount. It's already in the game. Has been in the game since 2.0 launched.

Do you have any proof that it was ever planned to available in-game?

Seriously an official micro-transactions shop has no place in a sub-based game, the whole "pure vanity cash shop" belongs to b2p games that don't charge you a monthly sub, because they do make a lot of money off vanity, but this company wants both the money from vanity AND the sub money, it doesn't work like that, that's way too much greed.

But using people's arguments here, just make it p2w, since more money for SE is always a good thing for you huh?

VIP pass to bypass all coil limits, all tele destinations free, new recipes could be sold in the CS instead of added for free, the housing area of Ishgard could be exclusive for players with VIP status, I mean none of this makes you stronger so who cares? More money for SE is always a good thing, huh?
