This is just appalling

Is this nonsense still going? God get a grip and move on.

You want it? Open your wallet and PAY FOR IT... Too expensive? DO NOT PAY FOR IT

this stuff is NOT required for you to play the game.

SE keeps overcharging because people with money to throw away can. This hurts those that do want it but can't afford the pricing. In the end they would make more money selling it cheaper for more sales, the high pricing just hurts everyone while giving people negative feelings to the company (will hurt them in the future)

Yet games like Black desert online need this money to even continue to exist. Still all the costumes in black desert are really detailed and have way more parts than the new outfit. For the price of around 30 € you get a headpiece, body clothes, shoes and a weapon! You can buy the complete set without the weapon for way less and you can even buy each part of the costume separate too. Yet we, who play female characters and want Aymerics hair have to pay for a whole outfit. So a FtP MMO is way less harsh in their cash shop even though they need it to survive than FF14. And if I remember it right you can buy these things through ingame currency exchange too (not 100%).

Lets look at a direct competitor: WoW. They have 41 items in the cash shop (the game itself, subcription, 13 pets, 10 mounts, 3 helmets, 3 pakets and 9 services) so you can say it has around 26 items in there since the packets are just a combination of some stuff. All pets costs the same and are not bound to account and other then one mount all are priced the same too. The one that is a bit higher has the feature that you can summon the same mount for other members in your group too for the amount of 20 minutes. Its there since 2013.

Well it took me some time to get the numbers of stuff in the mog station since its just so much, so numbers may vary: Without any services we have around 250 items in the cash shop. 113 are saisonal items but for someone new those are still kinda forced items since they cant get them ingame in any way. We have 36 costumes, 6 mounts, 16 pets, wedding, 113 saisonal items, 45 housing items, 18 colors, 7 emotes, 6 chocobo equipment and 1 orchestrion roll. Other than the pets the prices are not the same for each category. The cash shop itself seems to be there since 2014 (?).

One can say that all mounts in our cash shop are cheaper than the ones in WoW but the mogry one really gets close to it and most of the other ones in our cash shops are re-skins and character bound. Thus if you have like 3 twinks and wants it on each one you will get a higher price than WoW. Our pets are cheaper too and are also the only ones that have the same price tag.

So really comparing those two games really makes our cash shop looks really worse. They have way less items than the mog one (and well our customes are nearly as much as they have as a whole) and it even started one year earlier than ours. Even if we take away all the saisonal stuff we will still be over the amount that they have. But we should not take that away since new players will never have the chance to get them ingame so its a 100% cash shop item for them.


@Mature: No I will not stop since simply not buying it will not tell them everything. We are customers and have the right to voice our opinion. Just because you like it this way does not mean that others will and telling them to stop because you just can simply ignore a thread is not really that good. Nobody is forcing you to read this thread you know .

You forgot the biggest mog shop abuse, bloating inventory and selling us inventory rental for double our sub.
