Or

5. Don't let salty forum posters stop you from criticizing SE's business practices.

or 6. Don't care at all about what other people do with their money and don't let the cash shop bother you.

Not a legitimate argument when people's criticism isn't with what other people do with their money but rather what SE does with their cash shop.

I like six.

The game was fine and got more than ever before the cash shop. The content in Heavensward is pathetic next to 2.1 and 2.2, and the sub didn't have to increase.

Why do you people keep arguing against your own interests? As you said, Square Enix is a business. They're not your friends. You gain nothing from defending them, on the contrary, you lose and drag everybody else with you.

I think the issue with me isn't the cash shop one way or another, but that some stranger, who as I said I find proof has used the cash shop, is criticizing me for spending my money how I see fit. Its no one's business what I do with my cash. There was a demand for a CS or there wouldn't be one. Its profitable or it would have been shut down. And for my OMG comment, yes... this thread again? There are like three of these in the first two pages. Why make a whole new one to make the same comments as the one right down from here.

The level of energy I see people argue this is asinine. Do people come in here to complain and "criticizing SE's business practices" because its easy? Let me say to people here, there are plenty of businesses that need criticizing, and its not as easy, or fun, or as attention focusing on you, but if you put 1/10th the energy into that. Omg I'm old that's the problem. I think we all just see the world different and this seems so small to me because I have seen so much worse maybe. IDFK really.

They wouldn't lose anything by having a failed cash shop, there wouldn't be a need to shut it down. They're not physical items that need to be mass produced to meet the demand and competes with storage space for other items.

You do realize that LoTA was supposed to be in the game at launch right? So it was part of the budgeted 2.0 release. Moogle had already been created, as it was in 1.0, as was ifrit EX.

Considering that 2.2 brought just as much (and better) content, I don't get your point.

If they wanted to do the same for 3.1 they could've released another tier for Ravana, Bismarck and Thordan. They just chose not to.

I'm confused? 2.2 didn't add that much. FC housing, which everyone hates due to implementation, 2nd coil, which few did because of the difficulty, leviathan (only 2 modes) mog (only 1 mode, since hard mode was 2.1, and had already existed), and 2 beast tribes for quests, which had fates that everyone hated.

I think you may be forgetting what was actually added in some of the 2.0 patches lol

FC housing was 2.1. 2.1 also had the Sylph and the Amaljaa.

2.2 brought the Second Coil raid, Kobold and Sahagin beast tribes, Gilgamesh, King Mog extreme, Leviathan hard and Leviathan extreme trials, and a brand new endgame (glamour lol). So, in battle content, it actually surpassed 2.1 due to two new fights (Leviathan and Gilgamesh) while 2.1 was all difficulty mods.

As for SCoB... while lower quality than FCoB, it was a huge step up from the first Coil. I didn't like how T9 was set (it was like 3 different fights in one go), but outside of that you could feel that the game was growing the beard in fight design.

Hit the nail on the head, here. It's really not as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be, mountains out of molehills, etc.

If you are the one spending cash, then you are the one creating the demand. For people who do not like the cash shop and what it does to the game, that is a problem. That is why people will criticize you for how your money is spent.

No one cares what you do with the cash shop, though? And sure, as soon as you don't let criticism towards SE's implementation of the cash shop bother you.
