Correction of prices for optional items

And how about when you want to show extra support and appreciation?

Send them a cheque.

Or they could...not do that. I like having the option to buy cosmetic items. I think it will be a great way to support SE in the future when they add more to it.

I prefer to support SE with my subscription, you know, that thing we are already paying.

Of course it isn't. But FFXIV's cash shop offers no form of advantage like an F2P's cash shop would.

Players just need to come to terms with it. It's happening whether you want it to or not. You might as well just learn to live with it. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you're OK with it, use it. It's just that simple.

Why are others who are not against it or for it so closed minded? You may not be interested in vanity gear and whatever it intails be it RP, epeen etc. but other players can. So while other players express their opinion you should just come to terms with that. People are going to disagree wether you want them to or not...see where I am going with this?

Then this cash shop does not affect you, since, if you were playing during the time the events came out, you would have been able to obtain all the older event items.

Well it does if the minions and sleipnir mount are exclusively cash shop. I have been waiting for a Sleipnir mount for months, I even suggested it on the forums a long time ago and look where it is...the cash shop. So don't be so ignorant as to assume this doesn't affect other players. Again, a lot of people not agaisnt or for it can't see much to this game beyond raiding.

Bingo!

Just finished my last fate to get the snazzy punkin earrings (They GLOW!) Got the Barding and the outfit. I am all set. Don't have to buy them next year

I prefer to have my subscription fund things that I can pay even more money for instead of SE putting them in the game free of charge, personally. I have no concept of how money works and will rush at the chance to defend my BFF Yoshi-P and his multitude of horrible decisions with this game. I also have multiple business degrees and can explain to you why a company extorting it's customers will make more money than a company that treats it's customers fairly - which is fine, to me, since I like to believe that I'm an employee of Square Enix, not a customer. I'm really excited to spend all my money on things I've already paid for so they can give us Ala Mhigo in 4.0 complete with Ul'dah textures, reused assets filling every crevice, and le epic references to past Final Fantasy games instead of sticking with the well established FF14 lore!

Oooh, very edgy and dismissive. So why are you still playing?

We support SE by paying our subscription. I'm ok with them selling stuff we can get in game in the cash shop like the event items.

I dont like them selling exclusive items in the cash shop. So far it's just some minions, then it will be a mount, then an armor skin set or a weapon skin, costumes... it will just get worse as it has been in every mmo.

[Fizzie]

I'm really conflicted about it. I mean, on the one hand, it'll be nice for players to be able to get hold of items they'd missed in the past, but these could just as easily be offered in-game. And I fully understand that those who don't want to buy things don't have to, but then again, they'll be offering cash shop exclusives, so it'll be a case of pay up or miss out.

And, personally, I don't think a cash shop has any place in a game where we're already paying monthly for the content anyway.

And yet again, they've failed to deliver the name-changing potion they said they were working on a LONG time ago (unless Fantasia finally offers this as well).

[Yshnal]

So, 2.10-3.50€ for items that, if the cash shop wasn't introduced, would cost us a few gil (as it was in pre-cash shop events with past years' items). Good job, SE!
