I have to add my voice here - I am someone who has bought most of the unique items added to the MogStation (i.e. - weren't in a previous event) - I have absolutely no issue with cash shop items or purchasing them. I have all the optional mounts, I have a lot of the optional clothing, I've bought several Fantasias over the course of my playtime, and I plan to buy a Job Potion when they're introduced to level up an RP alt so I can unlock Red Mage on her. I do not have issues with cash shop items or anything like that.

What I have an issue with is when optional items are priced beyond what is fair or acceptable. Square has generally been very good about this - $24 for mounts makes sense (even $12 for single character mounts is fine). $15 for a special NPC attire set and unique hairstyle? Also fine.

$18 for a gear set that was released as event gear on one of the Asian servers? I'm way less okay with that. That is asking players to pay more than a monthly subscription to the game for two pieces of Level 1 attire. That's ridiculous and beyond overpriced. And I know the counterargument is "If you don't like it, don't buy it." And for the most part, I totally subscribe to that mentality - but at the same time, at some point people have to actually voice their opinions on things that are a problem. This is a problem because it now does indeed feel like MogStation prices are slowly climbing for attire because people are willing to buy more and more expensive stuff. People have a right to put their foot down and go "Wait a second, this isn't okay."

And that's where I stand with this decision - its too expensive for such a small set of items. I want SE to know that as someone who is more than happy to support their cash shop that I think they're starting to maybe push it juuuust a little bit too much.
