The Ego in this thread is ASTOUNDING.

Amused...let it go. Hell, anyone who agrees with his egotism should just freaking leave. I'm going to say this for the last time:

If you BOUGHT REAL LIFE SQUENIX MERCH FOR A MOUNT OR MINION, STOP WHINING ABOUT THE DAMN CASH SHOP! Don't give me this shit that it's "different", you bought it for the damn minion/mount, the Cash Shop gives you an easier way without needing to spend way more than you should.
And if you decided to go the route of minion and mount collecting, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS A RISK SINCE YOU BOUGHT SQUENIX MERCH FOR THEM!!!
You have no one to blame but yourself if you want to eat at every Burger King, but you don't have the expenses to do so.
You have only yourself to blame if you are a car enthusiast and want to drive every car in the world, but can't afford the cars.
Stop acting as if you can ignore the principle here all of a sudden.
