Something I want to say right now

[IveraIvalice]

I have been worried about this since the moment they announced the egi glamour thing they are going to add. And I got to say this right now before it's released.

If you guys add any of those egi galmour/skins to be sold in the cash shop I will hate you forever.

I have supported the game and company since 1.0 but my opinion of them has been dropping for a while and a good amount of that came when they added the cash shop. Why can they say that giving us more free retainers is difficult because of the server stress but they fail to include that paying for more retainers is totally cool.
I'm sure it is hard on the servers with only 4 retainers but get this, I only have 2 retainers because I refuse to give them more money for things that should be included in game. A game we pay to play already. 4 is not the default yoshi

I know it's been argued about already and everyone who bought retainers and anything else could care less but I'm the only one missing out by choosing not to buy more. I understand a company is gonna do what they are gonna do to make money but in my mind there's a limit before it just come across as greedy. And then my opinion of the company drops.
So with the cash shop and all the various lies that have been told to us over the years and the lack of communication, even though they boast about listening to the community, my opinion of the company can't go any lower if they decide to put the egis in the cash shop.

I love the game and have played it every day for years and will continue to play but just know that from my point of view, it's not about the fans, it's not about the community or the players, it's about the money. That's not to say I don't appreciate all the hard work you all do to make the game and as community reps to manage the forums. Those are two different things

I don't need a response from the community or the devs, I'm just giving them my feedback

Any additional revenue to help the company that created the game I love ..... I'm fine with it.

The choice is still yours.

You know you can just give them money if you want to right, you don't need a cash shop to do it.

I do not want to see EGI in cash-store and I reckon it wont happen, but I would not be suprised if it did happen. Players are buying alot of stuff from the cash-store, aslong as they do, SE will produce more stuff for it.

When I heard that you might be able to glamour from your retainer I could see why they thought like this, "we'll build a glamour log and it'll just cost you $2-16 a month to maintain"... xD.

The Egi glamour does sound like something they might try, I certainly hope not as well. At least, at least, make it available in game first (or continuously).

A more likely scenario is that they'll release egi glamour in game, and after a while, release some more on cash shop. Or they can be really evil and tie it to seasonal events... imagine, egi glamoured to bombs!

I wouldn't like that either. Imo the egis shouldn't ever be on the cash shop. Even if they add some in game and some in the cash shop, it's just more stuff we can't have unless we give them more money, and I'm not ok with that. But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't want this to become a cash shop item

Yeaaah, I can see the Carbie's all
Obisidian/Ruby/Topaz/Sapphire and every other Pokemon game colour in CS.
And I'd be pissed. That's not fair to SMN's who were excitied to think new Egi's would be released in 3.0 when they said they might of put them in...
but didn't get new pets, and when we come to somewhat of a compromise....they release it in CS.
That's drawing the line.

Keep in mind, you're dealing with the company that implements two versions of every tome armor, as well as upgrade items for them, and then complains there's too many items on the back end.

So is this just another inventory whine thread disguised as a "don't put X in the cash shop" thread?

I can answer your question about retainers though, OP. With a paid for service, only about 5-10% of players will pay for extra retainers. So if there's 4,000,000 players, that means only 400,000 extra retainers (assuming that 10% buys 1 each). But if they gave everyone an extra retainers, that's 4,000,000 extra retainers... 10 times as much. So yes, their explanation makes sense.
