No, there is something of a 'social contract' that is rather assumed when you pay a monthly subscription fee that certain things will not be done. gouging *paying* customers in a cash shop is one of those things.Your sub entitles you to server access and monthly content updates. That's it. You've continued to make the claim that you're entitled to the emotes "just because". You're not entitled to them anymore more than you're entitled to the mounts or character-specific glamour items. If you want them, buy them, don't complain that you should get them for free.
Explain "gouging paying customers". While I do think that the emotes are too expensive for what you're getting (and is the reason I'm not buying them), my sub does not entitle me to them, so I'm not a paying customer in respect to those emotes.
I've explained it already in at least two posts above.
You are a paying customer since you see those emotes in the game you pay a monthly fee to play. Note that I am not arguing the Cash shop should close and everything be covered by the sub, but I am, and will continue to argue, that charging such prices for something like an emote on a *single* character is gouging paying customers. You can glibly deny that and throw your money at SE all you want, that's your privilege, just as mine is to point out what I consider to be true. Gouging is gouging.
Simple as an "emote". Do you realize that each race and class combo has to have a unique emote animation? Its not like adding an glamour where it just a skin on top of your current item. Its a fully animated. Thats why you don't see any MMOs add " Simple Emotes " to the game.I've explained it already in at least two posts above.

Also, if you read the terms of agreement. Your $15 a month grants your access to the server and that't all. So any additional items they put in the mog shop are theirs to sell. Its that simple.

Except that the emote is literally an animation that already exist in game. It's just converted to work as an emote. lolSimple as an "emote".

Alas, we can't /doze on the floor because of 423850934285 reasons, but for 7$...

I couldn't agree more. I do think the price of those emotes is gouged pretty badly. I would never be willing to pay $7 each for those, especially if they can only be used on a single character.Note that I am not arguing the Cash shop should close and everything be covered by the sub, but I am, and will continue to argue, that charging such prices for something like an emote on a *single* character is gouging paying customers.

So I fail to see why you quoted me and barged into an argument I was having with another poster that has nothing to do with what you are arguing.
How exactly, does one barge into an argument on a public forum? I replied to a point you made, no offense, but why post if you are not interested in replies?I couldn't agree more.

Because you didn't reply with anything relevant to the conversation. I agreed with you that the price is too high on the emotes (twice).
I was explaining how there's nothing wrong with or "pay to win" about selling cosmetics in the cash shop and having a subscription, and that we are not entitled to every asset created for the game just because we pay a sub.
