Emotes.............

[Elamys]

dont bother buying stormblood or heavensward either. because as you know...ARR is the main game, the expansions are just optional content. no worries

that is incredibly disingenuous to say, expansion packs add a ton of content that in an mmo is the heart of the game.

the items in the mog station are just clothes or emotes that don't affect playing the game at all.

they are not even remotely the same thing. that being said, it's entirely possible to still enjoy arr without any expansions i guess. and i do think $7 is too much for some emotes, considering mog station items used to be a LOT cheaper (look at the prices of stuff from the first halloween event for example). but nobody is required to buy these or should feel pressured to in the same way as buying an expansion.
