Mogstation and New Content

Retainers aren't available in the cash shop. They're an additional payment akin to a name change or a server transfer. The only difference is that they're a monthly payment.

It's extra storage space, except instead of selling it you like most MMO's, they rent it you.

It's the same with characters and the sub itself. If you pay the entry level one you get to have 1 character, if you pay for the standard, you get more characters. Not everyone needs more than 1 character, and not everyone needs extra retainers. It's that easy. It's just the player who has to figure out what they need and if they want to pay for it on a monthly basis. It's just like any other premium subscription. Take Spotify as an example. You can listen to music for free, but how you get to listen to it depends on whether you pay or not. Same thing, can't escape from that, and it is ridiculous to blame or call out on it a service that requires money to be up and running, just because they have a business model that offers different services that don't cater to everyone's financial abilities at this very moment.

Edit:

This has nothing to do with personal value. This is about someone saying that not having a certain emote is hindering their gameplay. These additional emotes can only enrich gameplay, add more to it, but not having them does not affect the basis of gameplay what so ever. The base is still there, and we already have a lot of extra to enrich it. These few add-ons only serve to further enrich it.

But that is exactly a personal value. They find other people being able to play dead hindering and they envy them if they cannot do it themselves. Wow what a shit game, right? That's how you get a salty player, just like when people flame BiS raider because he put time and effort in it :3

Well, that's a different thing then. The solution is easy. For the BiS stuff... git gud. For the mog station stuff... get a job. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, but not in the moogle shop. They are outside of it, like server transfer and name change.
