Give suggestions for things you'd pay RL money for

Since limited server resources seem to be getting in the way of getting player housing separaate from the FC housing I think that I would be willing to pay for a large private instanced piece of land with proper farmland, large chocobo stables and a house which I can also use as an FC base or just let friends/randoms visit.

so you want a farm? well make that 2 lol. am i the only one who gets depressed at these yard sizes? i mean come on you can't fa p it without like 10 lalas looking in your windows lol not to mention what a serious gardner could do with 16, 32 even 64 gardening spots. On a serious note tho, it dont need to be some crazy designed hole in the wall like the other wards. just simple open plains.

I want toys. Lots and lots of toys

Illusion items that let me look like certain mobs or npc. I wonder if the illusionist npc was their way of testing this in game. I hope it was at least.
A holiday decoration pack for your house (trick or treat bucket that can be interacted with please)
Flippable table

Yes, give them more idea's to place in Cash Shop or Mog thing. .___.
But if I had to pick, I'd say a Name change thing, we've been wanting that for a while.
Perhaps posters, some PHYSICAL items. Soundtracks, cosplay items, etc etc.

Maybe glamours item for those can't clear coil, just give them gears with coil skin to use for glamours and not the stats, but I bet this would those "elite" ppl unhappy, even though it doesn't have any of the stats (they are actually just complaining that they got no gear to show off, not about difficulty of the game)

Wouldn't you guys rather have these things(aside from name changes and the like) just earnable ingame?

Not really. There's plenty of stuff to win in game, and I'm already busy trying to get some of it. Every now and then, it's nice to know I can buy something special rather than spend three weeks in lotting wars against others.

A sub and the expansion and not really sure about any of those now.

I'd pay real life money to get the cash shop defenders off of this forum.

Why not cut out the middle man? Get results fast!

Because then people like you will false flag for quick cash. ;^)

CASH SHOP SUPPORTERS GOTTA EAT TOO! I mean c'mon... how can I afford dinner when I spend all my money on trivial and dated (AND Sleipnir) vanity items from the cash shop?

I should be 100% transparent: I used to agree with you. I used to agree with everyone who thought that items in a game, vanity or not, should be rewarded from IN-GAME achievements, and not RL money. I was one of the few who wanted to boycott EA for having things like an "online pass" or charging for DLC that was clearly on the disc. The "pay for content" renaissance was BS when it started nearly 15 years ago and its still BS today.

But it is too late. We, as gamers, have been too complacent and now stuff like this is the status quo. Of course we can vote with our wallets and not buy this stuff. But we should have voted with our wallets over a decade ago. Because now, theres a generation of gamers that see stuff like this as commonplace. And for every person vocal and adamant about not buying anything from a cash shop, theres 3 people who are buying Sleipnir barding or a recycled golf course in the newest tiger woods, or a retro outfit in street fighter... etc etc etc.

So I am 100% of the hypocritical "if you can't beat em, join em" crowd.

That Sleipnir sure is dated.
