Stop Making Should-Be Achievement Gear.."Optional Gear"

[Ririta]

And one day you will wake up and realize that SE is a company that has to earn money and has just COSMETIC items in their shop that have no impact on the gameplay. To make it short for you: Not gonna happen.

And if you think everything should be free in the game just because you pay a sub, maybe you want to pay more each month that the company can generate the expected amount of money with that game. But i hardly doubt that you can just imagine what happens if a game doesn't create the expected amount of money.

As if any publisher would be the welfare...

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.

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.

You realize a large portion of that content already exists, yes? Titan had originated been cited to make 1.x but was held back due to the Earthquake disasters in Japan and it feeling tasteless. The current team were able to adjust and work off existing or near completed assets, thus adding more content to the game. Heavenward, meanwhile was entirely new. The devs also wanted to design different content, which comes with its own costs and difficulties. Although it ultimately proved hit or miss, that doesn't change the likely budget costs developing things like Diadem, LoV, Aquopolis, PotD and etc. Now it's absolutely fair to criticism the end result-- twelve knows many of us have. However, it's disingenuous to compare 2.1 to 3.x.
