Cash Shop Overpriced?

[Phe]

I'd wish people who like to buy from the cash shop would donate this money for charitable objectives instead.
24$ could help to save human lives instead of riding a virtual pony.

That $15 you pay every month could save lives instead of playing a fake virtual world.

No wait, don't ever buy anything for fun because it can go to charity instead. Or at least things that Phe feels is beneath him.

Why's that anger?
Did my words offend you in any way?

A P2P MMO is a hobby where you also get a social platform to interact with other people.
I don't think that's quite the same as virtual vanity items.

Don't you think it wouldn't be nice if there are some people who spent their bucks to help other people instead of using it for vanity stuff?

Consider this wish as a personal opinion.
You don't have to share this opinion, but at least please try not to be rude.

While I disagree with a lot of what she says when it comes to female appearance she has a point:

Someone stating: "The $24 you spent on a virtual horse could have gone to charity"...is, while not silly or misinformed...a bit odd to say when you're paying to play a video game, monthly..up to $120+ a year..which, too, could have gone to charity, no?

Okay first of all, hobby and charity is not mutually exclusive.

But probably it is just a matter of perspective, because to me it just seems absolutely absurd to spend RL money on virtual vanity items.
I've got a clear picture of what i get for these 12 bucks a month. chatting with LS buddies, goin raid with my static on TS, having fun doing quests, dungeons and whatnot.

How exactly is that Sleipnir experience worth 24$?

Maybe charity was just one of the million examples where I personally think money is better spent for than on this vanity stuff.
I just want people to consider and think twice before they spend it on the cash shop items.

Thats like asking water to not be wet I'm afraid.

Incorrect - You have the choice to buy from the cash shop or not, water has no choice but to be wet.
