CS Complaint Threads Need to Stop

[MugenMugetsu]

It's getting old. If you enjoy purchasing optional minions, mounts, etc. from the Cash Shop that's awesome. Thanks for being willing to contribute more money to help with the development costs of the game and future content!

Don't like the Cash Shop? Get over it. It's here to stay. Personally, I couldn't care less and will continue to pay my 9.99 USD for my subfee and unless something truly awesome is added to the CS, I won't be making any purchases there as I couldn't care less about having additional minions, or an overpriced mount, or any other CS items that I would have to pay additional to obtain.

Claiming that these items are "content" which you are already paying for with your subfee is ridiculous. These are additional items, not content, and SE is in no way forcing you, or twisting your arm to get you to purchase these items. There are far too many Q.Q threads about the CS and it's truly getting old. SE has made a business decision to allow us as players the ability to purchase additional items from the CS. If you're not interested in paying any more than your sub fee to support the game, as well as to be able to access the game, that's fine. However, coming to the forums to Q.Q about how you are in disagreement with the cash shop is completely immature and is honestly a waste of your time. The CS isn't going anywhere.

SE knows as well as all of the rest of us that people who post on the forums are the vocal minority. Surely they are seeing microtransactions regularly from people who are happy to pay to purchase items from the CS and will use the additional funding to fund the development of future content for the game. There's always the argument, "Well my sub fee more than pays for development costs." While the sub fees for the game may more than pay for development costs, is there anything wrong with SE attempting to make a little extra profit by offering the players the option to purchase additional minions, mounts, etc. from the CS?

Again, while you may be in disagreement with the existence of a CS, it is irrational, and immature, to say that you're going to cancel your sub simply because SE is offering the ability for you to purchase additional mounts, minions, etc. from the CS. If you're in disagreement with the existence of the CS, simply don't make any purchases from the CS. There are no game breaking items available in the CS, and Yoshi P. has clearly stated that there will never be pay to win items available via the CS.

Regarding the additional Eternal Bonding packages available via the CS, first and foremost the ability to get married in game is something you can do for free. If you care, and love, your significant other enough to pay for additional bells and whistles to make that special day more memorable, SE is allowing you the option to pay additional, via the CS, to make the event more special, and more memorable for you and your significant other. Please don't Q.Q about how you feel it's unfair that you should have to pay additional for the extras included in the pay packages like an entitled brat that feels that everything should be handed to you on a silver platter. Again, as I've mentioned several times, if you're not in agreement with having to pay additional to make your special day even more special and more memorable, simply don't make any purchases from the CS. It's that simple.

Still butthurt regarding the CS and willing to no longer support the hard work and effort that the devs put into rebuilding this game from the ground up to provide us with an awesome next gen Final Fantasy MMO experience? Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on your way out. I'm sure you will be missed by the many great people that you've met and befriended throughout your adventures in A Realm Reborn.
