I feel this is the disconnect. People think that people who don't like the cash shop complain because they don't have the money.

I get where you're coming from, but it isn't my point. I do have the money for these emotes, but why don't I buy? Because I dont support this kind of business. I'll pay for additional retainers because they're actually useful and reasonably priced for their function. But that $7 is gonna go to something else irl I'd rather spend it on. Like pads or something.

But, the other post was trying to shame people for buying it, and while I get why they would do so, I dont believe one should shame someone for having the money to waste on virtual goods along with the act.

I agree with not shaming players in pretty well any situation. But the dev team and corporate SE they have stuff to answer to in my book. Maybe we could call the cash shop buyers realists. They knwo SE doesn't care about the player base and this is the way it is going to be.

as overpriced as they are i wish there was a way to preview them.

I've seen lalas doing them in idylshire and it's adorable and I saw a male aura do it and super lame...
the mystery of not knowing what it will look like is a bit off putting

The dev team lol. They are peons. Not matter what they want, they can be replaced by another person. The only one SE could have a difficult to change right away is Yoshi P, and any other face that is the image of game. Blame the corporation along for they are the one with the money and contract to push and rush their employees.

I totally agree with the groups saying that we should earn the emote by a side quest game and the group asking to reduce the cost. $7 is a price not everybody can or won't be able to afford and agree that we shouldn't say bad things to people who can afford to pay for the emote. They got the money to "waste" according to some players. It is their money and decision.

So not only is it 5 quid, but its locked to your character and not your account? Good lord...

This is a disaster.

If the lalafell male play dead emote was also for miqote... I would have to buy it >_> sadly no miqote boy butts in the air

That is bloody disgusting. Lala butt best butt. Sweetest arse.

I didn't enjoy shelling out $14 for the new emotes, but I did it anyway because I'm a sucker for emotes. I'd use a more risqué term than sucker, but there are rules here. I lied... I did enjoy it. Judging from the sheer number of people I saw forming dead piles and doing backflips yesterday, SE is making bank on this and will see it as a huge success. It means we'll probably see more of it. Fortunately it seems we're getting those WITH a new holiday emote as well and just after getting the dote emote from vday. For now I'm cautiously optimistic that the cash shop is incentivizing SE to give us more emotes, rather than just shifting content to the cash shop. Maybe pdead and backflip wouldn't exist without the cash shop. It helps me sleep better to think that anyway.

I'm ok with the cash shop as long as it stays cosmetic.

I don't mind the price tag to a degree. Do agree it could be less or even free in the game.

What I do mind is the godawful pose that is the male Lalafell. I was excited that we were getting a play dead pose, I could see some very nice rp uses for it. However, the abomination that is the male lala pose is just...I can't do it...ever. That pose is just wrong on many different levels. I've already seen pictures being done with this pose. For being a race that looks like children, having such a pose is just wrong. I may erp and don't mind lewd things...but this pose...is...just not right.

The odd part is...I would not mind it if it was part of our /doze emote for beds. At least then you can change it around to something else. Or even as a male Roe as it makes a very nice DBZ reference.

In short, it is $7 that SE will not be making. Sadly SE won't notice the missing $$ and will never change this pose, thus I miss out on what could of been a nice addition to my role playing.

I think your habits are the reason you see this in such a strange light personally, haha ;;; It just looks like a typical, over-the-top comedic pose no more weird than when Hildreband himself did(does?) it. People keep making remarks about this and while I can see the disappointment for people who like to take lalafel more seriously than the game itself does, it's nothing anyone should consider unexpected really. They are the cute race after all.

We can finally lay down on couches and sofas.

Yesss! Or well, some races at least *laughs*
