Mog Station is overpriced.

Look, I shouldn't have to explain how glamour is different from a leveling potion. It's obvious: one unlocks content, one doesn't. The slippery slope argument is an alarmist fallacy because the difference between the two isn't just magnitude (which is what slippery slope arguments rely), it's a difference in kind.

Furthermore, that's totally off topic anyway. The point is that the items are appropriately priced relative to the demand, the only way to get the price lowered is to reduce demand (ie, not buy it). Complaining online is much much less effective.

Anti CS players warned you about that when it began and we were told to shut up because "it's just optional and there is no exclusive content in it".
Now we have exclusive mounts, exclusive glam and look, xp bonuses....
You wanted the CS, so deal with it now -_-

The other gears that give you exp bonuses are better than the one in the mogstation, because they are not a part of a set bonus.

"This costume has an EXP bonus was normaly chinese version exclusive and came only to the global version because people really really really wanted it, so naturally it'll cost more."

Fixed it.

Fixed it.

Thanks for that fix. People doesn't get it and never did get it. First of all the asian versions of most MMO will be different, not all but some, FF14 being one of them. Korean/Chinese versions. People need to see the fact they were never designed to be on EU/NA servers, but since people wanted it so bad they got their will, now they come out people cries more. If you wanted it that bad, then the price shouldn't be an issue. 3 more euro over the other costumes? Not that much. It's about how smart you are with money too.

I mean, their prices have always been exorbitant, but these are downright extortionate; the only thing that makes sense to me is that they had to pay a hefty fee to the company that maintains the Chinese servers in order to use the exclusives, and are passing that cost on to us.

I understand that this is how business works, but I'm going to put my voice in the camp of people who were really looking forward to giving SE my money for these but probably never will unless there's another 50% off sale.

I'm an adult with a job; I could afford the items easily, and I very much want them, but I simply can't justify spending the kind of money that could buy me another game on a single outfit for a single character on my account. Especially when I already pay over $250 a year (Between sub and extra retainer fees) just to be able to log in. MAYBE the prices would be excusable if one sale were for all the characters on your account. Maybe. But the bottom line is that my $18 will be much spent elsewhere, and both SE and I are losing out because of this.

[Felis]

maybe the Dollar make it look so much more expensive than the other gears

Y'shtola set :
10.5 € = 3.5 € each gear

Chinese dress:
13.5 € = 4.5 € each gear

[ThirdKeyOfSun]

I am not defending nor condemning the price but what I figure is happening is this:
Yes the gear was made by SE in house but it was made FOR the Chinese company running XIV over there. As in the company now OWNS the rights to it. The price of the exclusive gear might honestly be because they are not only selling it at the "normal SE" price but also tacking on the licensing fee they have to pay to the Chinese company to use what is essentially their property now.

I bet those dress is "bought" from chinese company designer so it could be higher. And you should glad it comes to our game not complaining the price.

[Vespar]

My only issue with the items/emote being that pricey is that they are not account wide.

Mostly likely yes, I've played a shanda game for a long time and this practice was also common where if other region wants an item they had to pay for the copyright,etc.

That's your opinion. I don't think it's overpriced. Mounts are my weakness, and if I like something enough and can afford it, I'll buy it.

Cigarettes are overpriced, alcohol is overpriced, certain luxury and junk foods are overpriced, etc.

I put video games in the same category, and figure if you can afford all the other unnecessary things in life people imbibe in, you can afford this. I find it hard to believe the people that say this is too expensive don't blow over 50 a month on something like alcohol, energy drinks, Junk food, etc.
