Problem with "Optional" Items in the Cash Shop

[Rieze_Xeero]

My Stand with Mogstation. I am not against it but I don't like overpriced items.

I looked through that link and could not find a single mention of microtransactions. Please specify.

Regardless, I would not call the items on the cash shop "micro" transactions. They are absurdly overpriced.

my apologies. It is page 22 not 16. The correction has been made.

The statement "Being able to purchase in-game content is important to me" is extremely ambiguous and also completely devoid of context. What do they mean by in-game content? Are they referring to free-to-play, buy-to-play, or pay-to-play games? Mobile games, RTSes, shooters, MMOs? The markets are all different, and with a statement so broad, you simply cannot use that as evidence to claim that the majority of players support the Mogstation.

Micro-transactions are a permanent part of the gaming world and is no surprise that Square-enix is one of the major companies who have been pushing micro transactions. In a recent survey the majority of players are actually for micro-transactions. 57% liked micro-transactions while 52% were not for it. This has been increasing through the years as gamers are more accepting of this feature.

Micro-Transactions will stay as it is easy money for the companies but would you agree that the gaming world was much better with out DLC's and PreOrders. I mean, the excitement of getting that item you grinded for 100 hours, the mystery of finding secret things and the assurance that once you bought that game, there won't be a Ultra/Omega/Final/Ultimate version that will come after a few months/years (like MVC pffttt!...)

I miss old days really.

You've another mistype in there - it's not for and against it, it's people who were for it in 2016 (52%) and people who were for it in 2017 (57%).

The only problem with this cash shop is the constant influx of people complaining about things they absolutely don't have to buy.

Tl dr people want stuff for free cause they think their monthly sub entitles them to get everything

[savageink]

Isn't the stuff in the cash shop mostly just stuff they gave away for free during previous seasonal events? I've got most of that stuff on whichever characters were active when they were released. I have no problem with them offering old stuff for money to new players. I know a few are store exclusive but it's not much or pay to win or anything.

Threads like this should be deleted. Every single time we get new content on the Mog we get this rubbish. It's like spam.

You don't stop to think why threads like this keep being created? It's blatantly obvious that many people are not happy with how the mogstation is being handled (priced mostly). If you have nothing of value to add to the thread why even bother posting?
