Cash Shop Overpriced?

[Naria]

The Old Halloween equipment is overpriced, but I feel that they should still be available in game for gil not in the cash shop.

The minions are cute and I love minions, but for the price I feel they should be distributed to all the characters on that account.

Sleipnir is awesome, but just flat out overpriced. Why should I buy a mount that's twice my monthly sub?

Currently, there is nothing I'm willing to pay for in the cash shop. I've seen a few mounts and minions around, but I wonder how much has SE benefited from this compared to the backlash from the community?

Easy, you have two options:

1. You want to buy it because you want to
2. You don't buy it because you feel it's overpriced.

So asking 'why?' in that sense is more of a personal preference, not being forced onto you. As for how much they benefited compared to backlash? Look at the DPS queue since NIN released...backlash was only from the small vocal group that said the cash shop would kill the game.

As far as I know, no one said that. What was said was that it was stupid and not fair for the playerbase/customers, and that it has the potential to get even worse (remember the retainers?), specially if some people keep supporting these things.

I did not say anything about the cash shop killing the game. Or that I'd never buy anything from the cash shop. Or that I was against it's existence. Considering how much hoopla this has caused on the boards I was only wondering how much money SE is actually going to get from this. Simmer down.
