CS Complaint Threads Need to Stop

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!!!!

As others have said people have a right to voice their frustrations just as much as you just did.

Did get a chuckle out of the bolded part though. SE's net profit for last year was 60,756 million yen (a little more than $510,350,400) and its net income after all expenses (including development costs) was 6,598,000,000 yen (about $55,423,200 US). They don't need money to "help with development costs of the game and future content", the game makes enough for them. The cash shop money will mostly be used to raise income and profits for SE and there is nothing wrong with that from a business standpoint. So thanks for increasing the those two lines on their balance sheet, the shareholders will love you.

At the end of the day I have no problem with the cash shop. If I don't want to use it I won't, if I do I will. Honestly its not game breaking to me. But acting like poor SE needs funding to deliver us content and the cash shop is going to provide that just isn't entirely accurate.
