Cash Shop: Where do you draw the line?

[Kuolema]

To be honest I don't really have a line that they could cross. I play the game for my enjoyment, if and when it stops becoming fun then I would leave. If SE wants to put gear and dungeons behind a pay wall, all the power to them. It doesn't mean that I have to go out and buy it, I can be just as happy playing the game without the gear and dungeons.

It's your first MMO . It's so cute.

WoW has cash shop. You can buy a spectral tiger and sell it for gold. is AH broke? Prices are high, but you can earn easily more money than years ago.

Eve Online: You can buy a plex and sell it for ingame cash. Is the AH broke? I don't think so. It's more live than ever.

So the whining about selling a bracelet ingame would break the market board is baseless, unless ffxiv would be your first mmo or game with cash shop/dlc.

The cash ingame will be the same, only change the hands.
If you think a player who buy a ilvl 110 pentamelded will be OP, you may check your priorities in the game.
If they spend the money to be a new 4 stars hq crafter. Nice, he will buy materias, raw and the rivalry to sell theirs items low the 4 hq prices.
Or maybe he choose to buy a house and spend more money to get furnitures or raw to craft it.

I see advantages.

The mount your referring to is obtained through trading card game from blizzard. The only way to 'buy' one of these is to purchase the code from someone with in game currency (and hope its not a fake). I do not think you can purchase the mount straight from someone. Regardless, lets try to stay on topic.

Is there anything you would consider as 'too much' in the Cash Shop much Rappa?

Yes of course. I could do a list.

- Upgrade your relic from the first one to Zodiac
- Get one item to meld a materia 100% chance whatever the slot
- Access to the final dungeon released before nobody could, unless they pay too
- Break the weekly lookout on FCOB or future raid to enter and loot again.
- A fast mount than ingame

I could think more

Not everyone plays the game the same and before FFXIV was launched they said there were going to be many ways to play this game other than just combat... Some people collect minions so putting them in the cash shop hurts the way they play the game, Some people collect mounts.. Just because the stuff put in the cash shop doesn't affect the way you get through coil doesn't mean it does not affect the way others play the game? Some people like to craft and do vanity stuff. Putting that stuff in the store with other loot hurts the way they play the game.
Why do people do coil? for the loot. Same thing.

All I am saying is people play the game for different reasons not just combat.. Some are just craters and if that stuff ends up in the cash shop it is pay to play or win for them..
