Can anyone show proof that they've started putting fewer optional items in the game because they've been adding everything to mogstation? We still seem to have the same events every season and roughly the same rewards. I love this game and I don't mind paying $7 for a stupid emote if some of the profit from that goes into making the game better.

I also think, one question we should really ask is, would these optional items even exist if there was no monetary incentive for the dev team to make them? If not, then shutting down mogstation or only using it to sell seasonal gear whose events have ended, just takes something away from people who are willing to pay a little extra to dress up their characters.

Lastly, I'm not sure how these transactions are much different than what happens whenever a collectors edition of a game is released. You pay additional money for the collectors edition and you get in game items that people who didn't want to pay extra money won't get.
