    Please tell me how selling them in a bundle, account wide with every item included for the same price that most people had to pay for the promotion gives them a bad deal? We are talking about digital items that do not cost anything to reproduce them..so every single bundle they would have sold would have only increased their income..

    I am one of the people that already got it through one promotion and I dont see how I or others would go away from FF14 if they are selling it for the same price with the same items and conditions on the mog station..especially since we did get real things out of that while those that buy it on the mog station will only get digital goods..sorry but your arguments dont make any sense too me..heck I dare to say that overpricing such things might lose them more customers than charging the same price that others had to pay.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Yeah, that's what the housing moratorium is for.

    Still wouldn't feel so bad about the pricing if the whole mog station thing didn't feel like it's supposed to be a shiny object to distract from housing.

    Let me preface the rest of my post with I've always hated the cash shop. I don't think it belongs in a subscription game, but hey, evidently times change and it's here to stay.

    So with that said, I'm not really too bothered with how they've added this. They ran their promotion (I understand NA got the far better deal here), and those who picked it up got a rather nice deal. Promotions only go on for so long, but at least they are giving avenue to purchase the items in case you missed the original deal.

    Now, with THAT said - I do think SE is insanely heavy-handed with the pricing in their cash shop. And this isn't just about this particular outfit. I understand a business is out to make money, , but there should be a balance so you don't just look like a greedy mofo.

    I feel betrayed on the fact I never got access to a promotion.

    I like both outfits, they look nice. Wish us girls could wear the butler suit and vice versa for the guys and the maid outfit. o:

    ON THE BELIEF THE ITEMS WERE NOT DYABLE
    I too, actually believed it possible the items would not be dyeable. Why? Because the Mog Station page did not offer a sample picture showing the items dyed. These are not actually the same items as came out in the promotion. These Mog Station items have stats and an EXP boost. It was possible that they were not dyeable along with this change. I went around asking my friends til I found someone that said that it was dyeable exactly like the original set til I set such fears to rest. I would have bought the items if they at least had a different dyeability (such as making the apron dyeable and leaving the dress black, or just dyeing the whole item.) But they did not. Blame SE's product page for deceiving people about the dyeability though.

    ON EXCLUSIVITY AND PRICING
    I have no issue that the item is available again now. I had to pay a lot on American Amazon here in Canada to get my products shipped (the promo was not available on Canadian Amazon) but i got my Niece Pokemon Moon and I got myself Kingdom Hearts on PS4 for the 2 Amazon promotions. i have account wide item sets from these promos and people that missed out can now get the items on mog station. I had the exclusivity to have it first, and the item name remains an exclusive to the promo. I don't feel slighted for this. It's like when people pay exhorbitant gil on Market Board for the new glamor items first when they aren't able to make the item themselves. And then months later the same item goes for like 10% of the initial buzz price then everyone can wear it.

    Neither do I, they stated before that it will make its way to the MogStation.

    This is my issue with what they did.

    We got both outfits, a mount, 2 masks and tokens for free. Fine, if you bought an item just for the promotion, then you spent $20 for the stuff, I won’t argue it.

    At the very least, they needed to make it account wide. Single character and $18 is ridiculous in comparison. If they release the mount at $12 per character, at 40 characters, that will now cost $1,920 to match what we got for $20, I mean for free.

    People who were excluded from the promotion by SE, don’t get in at 10% of what we paid, they get in at 10x what we paid instead.

    Each piece at $18-$24 per account would have been more than enough. Just not enough for SE.

    Reading too much of the forums makes me very sad and apathetic.

    Wait wait wait wait wait...

    They coded these as entirely new items that look exactly the same and have the same name? Isn't that just another item our bags have to try and track?
