Is our sub fee not enought

[Alleo]

You know if they would show us that these cash shop sells are going into creating new content for us...well than I could maybe accept it a little better. (We dont know this and as a big company all the money that they will get from us are probably going to SE and into other games..) But still even if we would know it, the price still remains as insane. Why not sell it for 1$? If 2k players buy this its still 2k$ and since its a digital good you only have the cost of the production and nothing more..I never understand the thought to make these things expensive. How many more would have bought the two-seater mount if it was half the price?

Well with that decision now they make people angry, quite some will not buy it because its way too expensive for an emote -> not really good for SE.

In the end its really bad if our sub money cant pay for the production because this would mean that we will see more and more of these cash shop items which might mean that people wont even sub anymore or will not start the game -> less money -> more items for CS. This can turn really bad in the future and I am quite sure that even those that are totally fine with it now will have a line where its crossed but then its too late. It would be imo way better to just increase the price of the sub by 1 or 2 $. I would gladly pay a little bit (not 5 per month or something crazy) more and have everything in game than having to see all these items landing in the cash shop..

EU datacentre in europe and server reworks for bigger inventory was financed by cash shop

The cash shop also financed renewable energy efforts in the US, the sealing dome around chernobyl and many scholarship programs.

I too can make up alternative facts.

I believe there was a statement from Yoshida about the cash shop revenue being used for the things she mentioned.

European Fanfest 2014 Keynote Address with Yoshi-P. I think I started it at the right area that talked about what the funds for the Cash Shop can be used for.

[edit] Around 12:40, it's translated he mentions using the profits to add new things such as the EU data centre.

More housing options ! Wait, do you hear that? ... WOOOSH! That's the sound of all those new lots being purchased under an hour of being open haha. I should make an instanced house billboard or something so I can post it on the fly lol. Hope Yoshida has seen Wildstar, or out of the last 10 posts that I mentioned it that one of our forum gods suggested they check it out (just the housing system, suggest the trailer its short and easy to see~ lol) XD...

Just to add though this link doesn't prove that cash shop was used for adding more inventory space, but that they said that they use cash shop funds for somethings (like EU server). I'm sure some of it is helpful to the game, and other games.

A random aside.. I've always wondered if these fan fests (not just FFXIV, other games too) could find a better way to include everyone (while of course keeping the goodies to those who get the virtual ticket). I feel its a bit funny that A. it's incredibly easy to get around these things (every blizzcon like 50 different options pop up) B. pay or don't be considered a fan (?). Perhaps besides the virtual reward they could add an after party instance in game people could join and give a bunch of fireworks or something lol, then allow a non-premium stream to the public on twitch.

Even though since I've made the comparison it's worth mentioning Blizzcon's opening ceremony is free, you just don't get to watch the panels which tend to have a lot of info in them too.

I doubt it.
More like parts of FF XV and FF VII remade.
The things you listed have nothing to do with SE
