    No, it's always got to be down to the almighty dollar!
    I agree in that you don't have to be guaranteed anything. If you want to be guaranteed anything (and really more the guarantee that you CAN do the event), you have to pay the subscription. MMO stuff, yo. Be lucky in that this game you get to have the items come back. In XI, the events had items that never appeared again until about 10 years later.

    So yeah...chill, especially considering that you called the items dumb. Why get so worked up over what you say is a dumb item?

    Also, the thing about the cash shop (cause that's where all the yukatas are going) is that for events, it doesn't just hold it FOR the event duration. The past event stock is still there since it was implemented last Halloween.

    So yeah, if you don't have the cash now, don't worry. You can still buy it when you do.
    That's their compromise in concerns to the old event items though. You can't ever miss the old ones now.

    They want the cash shop model, it's here to stay. Deal with it.

    That was nice. Everyone leveled up crafters for those events ^^
    Because the rewards were only some mats and you have to craft the event gear.

    Last year had fewer clothing options from events, and more housing furniture which was essentially recycled environment objects. If taking money for holiday event items doesn't lead to better holiday event items... well, I wonder where the money DOES end up.

    And I'm complaining from the perspective of someone who has every holiday item AND a house to display furniture in. Seasonal items in the additional item store STINKS.

    I'd rather have them be available year-round for a couple of bucks than be screwed out of ever getting them if you have to miss out on an event for whatever reason.

    If there was one thing that the players should be complaining about regarding holidays it's this. I don't mind it being recycled environment objects necessarily (some of those are nice), but given the fact that most players have no hope of getting housing any time soon, they should be making the focus on outfits/minions with a housing item thrown in. Not the other way around. Looking at you little ladies day.

    This sounds like a good pattern to me. If you want to get summer event items in the middle of winter or vice-versa, go to the cash shop. If you don't like cash shops, wait until the corresponding event comes around again and then you can get them in-game. SE still gets some cash shop items out of it that way, but it never becomes the only possible way to get those items.

    I don't think it is because of the cash shop. If it is about the cash shop, then there should be more new gears in the events so they can sell more next year.

    well, I wonder where the money DOES end up.

    It's been a long time since I've made a joke at the expense of French people. Now seems to be the time, but without a French housemate to pester, I've fallen out of touch.

    Something something... white flag, ghost costume, French people retreating to EU servers, baguette off my server... nah, sorry, can't assemble the joke, I surrender.

    I don't see this happening. Mostly because the moment SE puts swimsuits and yukata on the cash shop, they're going to make a mint.

    People want them, and will pay for them.
