I think you have the right of it. It's not just the industry either - it's something many consumers have come to parrot as well. As much as I enjoy the game and despite having a disposable income I'm finding myself increasing worried as a collector of minions, mounts and interesting glamour. Why am I worried? Simply put I dislike the rate at which interesting items are cropping up on the Mog Station as 'optional purchases' instead of being available in-game. I'm also not a fan of content being tedious for the sake of being tedious which is pretty much what the Yo-Kai event ended up being.
