Is our sub fee not enought

[Skivvy]

Things come at a price I see your comment above its simply a choice I wanted the hw griffin mount but I wasnt willing to pay for the extra special edition price for that mount. Im not willing to preorder storm blood when I can just buy it on june 20th when its cheaper, the game isnt forcing you to do anything. Unless you buy all the special edition stuff, then some things are just out of ur reach in general. Why is this a problem, you dont have to have everything in the game , nobody said this when you signed up for your sub I know it didnt say that on mine.

I'm not concerned about CE game/expansion, plushie, OST items. These are marketing/promotional items, and that's a different beast all together. Perhaps I should have clarified further on post #274, because as I mentioned, it always gets nitpicked.

The exclusive items I have an issue with are the ones that go directly to the cash shop. The new emotes, Far Eastern Garb, the mounts, Scion outfits, etc.

Times do change, and cash shops do seem to be creeping in everywhere. I obviously don't think they belong on a sub game, but I'd personally be OK with it in XIV if they would do the following:

1) Have only account items (fantasias, server transfer, name change) and items that have been obtainable in game at least once
2) Have a system to convert gil to Crysta
3) Lower the damn prices. @.@ I play Archeage as well, which is arguably one of the largest money-grabs at the moment, and SE's prices rival that of AA.
