This is just appalling

[Atlas-04]

Given we have a eastern themed zone coming most likely along with gear from dungeons and stuff, there is even less reason to purchase that item.

I just don't understand the complaints with mogstation glam, imo there is plenty of freakin awesome sets from dungeons and raids to satisfy variety and we still get free stuff from holiday events. The songbird outfit was pretty nice. Let those willing to pay have it and move on. If you can't control yourself then you proved why SE and EVERY company does it now.

Just
don't
buy
it!

I'm certainly not and I don't need to have every set which I will only use for a short time till the next set I like shows up.

To be honest I totally agree. We get mostly reskins of existing gear in dungeons all the time while the new exciting stuff is getting released on the mog station for increasingly higher prices. I understand that SE is a business, but since we're already asked to pay a subscription this is a little disappointing.

If you want it to stop, STOP BUYING THEM.

Every time the new item makes them money, that's a stamp of approval that they should continue.

...Is it only appalling because its something people actually want?

If it was ugly, would anyone care?

[Naunet]

but what do you expect people to do? not buy things they want/can afford just because you or I think it is priced to highly?

I choose to not buy it because I think it's priced to highly. If others agree, they should do the same.

...Is it only appalling because its something people actually want?

The prices are absurd regardless of one's opinion on the aesthetic of the outfit.

Some people will buy it, so they will keep doing it. From their perspective it is genius.

Exploitation of the human emotion. Anyways I am not going to buy it because it is overpriced. Simple as that, agree with the TC. If they keep doing this, they are going to lose more then lost potential mog station sales from me.

And that is fair. I should have quoted in my original post but I will do it here...

I
I'm sure this will be met with the usual "SE is a business!!! what do you expect!!", "they're always going to do this so get over it" etc. etc., and you're perfectly right, SE is a business! As such, they respond to sales - and ploys that lead to poor sales don't get repeated. This doesn't cross the mind of the Balmung or the Idyllshire crowds, however, who'd buy the glamour sets if they cost £20 just to have the newest items to stand around and AFK in. And because of this, we're now at the point where we're being charged higher prices for half an outfit and a re-vamped existing emote. Congratulations, you've surely shown us grouchers!

Attacking people for spending their money on things they want is never a good look.

The items in question are from the Chinese and Korean Servers, they had to pay for them to obtain them as well/they were limited time availability. SE can't just turn around and say, well the JP, NA and EU servers get it for free, but the Chinese and Koreans, they have to pay.

That's the business standpoint they were working from, if they just make it free here, they create strife with those who paid to obtain those items because they look at the other servers and go "Hey why are these free?". So of course you have to charge for them.

[Fawkes]

The appalling thing to me is that this stuff is never storable, so not only am I paying real money for it but I'm also spending 2 inventory slots on it.

[bswpayton]

I can already imagine the response this is going to get, but I'm going to do it anyway, because this is becoming a joke.

Business is business, I have notice alot lately every event we have that one of these things pop up with new items well they gave us something free for in game so now they are charging us for something else just gota deal wit it
