China is getting wings

You can't "correct" someone elses opinion. Doesn't work like that.

Was not his "opinion" i was correcting, it was the conclusions he was jumping to, assuming at what i meant, which was false.

You basically just told them they are a reckless spender and a whale who somehow ruins everything for everyone else. I don't even recall when that poster said they buy everything the cash shop offers (or if they have bought anything at all even)....so why are they a reckless spender and a whale all of a sudden?

Once again, like that poster, you are taking what i said and twisting it, read it again. it's a cause and effect thing, because SE knows people will spend money for items instead of putting them in game, other people will have to suffer by buying it, as SE sees no reason to put them in the the game when people can just throw money at them for it.

Anger might not factor into it but you are still misplacing emotions at the players (who might not have been part of the people who asked for a cash shop) instead of at the company who made the service that you dislike so much. Simply correcting isn't what you were doing. You were shaming them for the possibility that they might have bought things from the cash shop. Stop trying to make people feel bad for buying things with the money they earned it's pretty rude and unnecessary.

Never did, Stop putting words in my words, for crying out loud.

How is buying cash shop things the same as gil buying? One is against the ToS and one is made by the company who made the ToS...there is no connection.

People buy gill because they are lazy, (or really bad at the game and can't make their own) why work for the gill when you can just give real money to get as much as you want.

Cash shop has items that you can give real money to get instantly no work needed. Why put items in the game when you can just toss money to get them instantly?

Gill is not needed to progress in this game, and for the most part is mainly used for vanity and cosmetics,

Cash shops item are not needed in this game and is use for vanity...and cosmetics..

Buying gill floods the economy which causes prices to raise, making people who don't buy gill have to spend more because people with a lot of gill spend recklesy on stuff.

Buying from cash shop causes SE to realize that putting items in for money, is better then putting them in the game to earn. so people who do not buy from cash shop will have to buy from there if they want it....Do i need to go on?

Yea.. they are very similar, actually. but like i said, one is legal the other is not. You are paying for instant gratification. If you had issues figuring that out.

You really think people who buy from the cash shop, which money goes to the company who makes the game we all play, is the same as gil buying? This makes no sense and you know it.

Already explained above, it makes perfect sense. if you actually think.

Money spent on gil buying does not go to the company. It goes to a third party which is exploiting SE's game to make a profit.

RMT spend money on accounts to spam bots nonestop. unless they can do that for free, all the money is going to SE Regardless if they are using their on CC/debit or a stolen one, it's still money going to SE so in a small way they are actually benefiting from it. They both profit. again, if you think you would have figured that out.

Like you said SE likely won't remove the cash shop...so why should you shame people for buying from it?

In the same way i would "shame" (not the right word) someone for spending a grand for a bottle of water because it's in a pretty bottle, it's there money but i won't hesitate to laugh at them. Buy all you want, spend as you please. while i snicker.

Yeah I read it and it does imply, very obviously, that you think your choice is superior.

No, you clearly did not read it. you just skimmed over it, heard what you wanted,,and made your own flawed conclusions.

You call people reckless spenders and whales (and the above quote to me calling people selfish). You are shaming people for what they choose to spend their money on.

See? this is how i know you didn't read, as i said, multiple times that i do not care what you spend your money on, i'm allowed to laugh at people who toss money at things. if i see someone buy a t-shirt for $2000 because it has a small logo in the corner while i got the same one for $45 without the logo, you better belive i will have a good laugh, and tell them "nice shirt buddy" with a cool thumbs up.

Some people on this planet may think you spending money on a video game subscription is reckless spending and shame-worthy,

I'll give you this one, but it's usually people who do not understand games and just think they are all a waste of time. so you couldn't convince them either way.

I was against the cash shop when it was suggested just fyi since this game is already a sub game. I am not going to shame people for using it though. They choose to spend money they earned on it so that is their choice and it has nothing to do with me. All those items are optional aesthetics which you do not need to play the game and hopefully, like you also said, that money is going into the game for expansions and content.

Fair point, but you are mistake shaming for mocking. which, i admit is not much better. but i wouldn't say shaming.

That's quite the defense mechanism against people who are well off enough to drop money on brand name/CS items.

[This can be reversed, watch: ] It's usually people who do not understand that the value of money is subjective and just think CS buyers are wasting money. so you couldn't convince them either way.

Well it's all subjective, someone like bill gates can drop 5 grand for a candy bar and would not give a care in the world. as that won't even come close to putting a dent in his wallet but would he do it? is it worth it to him.

I guess so, This is the reason why the bottled water industry is booming, even tho its just tap water from a different source, and anti-aging cream is just an expensive moisturizer, even tho it does the exact same thing. some people may consider those a waste of money while others consider them the greatest buys. it is all in the buyer, i agree.

Maybe he would, maybe it is worth it to him. I have no idea, but who are you to judge or mock?

The big moogle mount was worth every dollar to me. Are you going to mock me for spending my disposable income where I feel was well spent? That would be silly.

A person of free will and independent thinking.

Then it was worth it to you, the problem is you careing about what others think of what you spend your money on.

When did I say I cared what you thought?

You responding to my posts, is indeed an action of caring, if you didn't you would have just ignored them.

My care is in the topic, not your thoughts, sorry for the confusion.

Um, at the end of this post you openly admit to mocking the players who use it ^ so no I am not putting words in your mouth; they were already there. I am not mistaking anything. Shame is a result of mocking if the mocking succeeds in upsetting the individual (you learn these things if you take psychology classes). Which is why I responded to you to tell you not to be rude about it and not to place the blame on people you don't even know anything about.

Everyone makes fun of others sometimes it is just human nature, but the main thing is you are supposed to keep things like that to yourself out of respect. I mean you don't wanna be walking down the street and have someone laugh and point at you cause you bought a specific brand name item that they personally think is ugly/stupid/unnecessary, right? I am sure you would agree it is rude.

Also claiming I didn't read your post just because I don't agree with you is pretty pointless. I assure you I read it. You just might not realize how you are coming off to others. Not caring what people spend their money on doesn't mean you are not shaming them. If you did not think your choice was superior you would not feel the need to mock others over it. Humans mock other people when they feel superior (or want to feel superior) over another person.

As for the gil buying compared to cash shop things those comparisons you made wasn't what I was getting at so I think we misunderstood each other there.
