Over-priced Microtransactions!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

[Plumfairy]

Can someone please explain to me why added content is so sickeningly expensive? It is completely despicable how much they are charging for say, 1 mount, or 1 emote. The fat cat mount, for example, is $24.00! It is just a single mount and yet it costs more than an expansion for the game. The expansion includes all kinds of shit, and is somehow cheaper than this one object in the game. Why? We pay $15.00 per month for them to put in additional content and improve the game. Then, somehow, we make another payment for that additional content(expansions) WE ALREADY PAID FOR THROUGH MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS, and now we have the tiniest fraction of additional content costing literally 10,000 times what it is actually worth. Can someone please tell them how absurd it is. Honestly if you do the math, the company would make just as much money charging $5.00 for the mount, if not MORE. Most people know when they're getting ripped off, and I feel bad for people who actually spent money on these things. It makes me sick. I am ill over the thought of how little cost it was to square enix to make that one mount, and how much profit they would make on it just selling it at $5.00 (WHICH IS STILL TOO MUCH). So again I ask, why $24.00?????? And I mean think about it. If 10% of the subscribers buy this stupid fat cat mount, and %90 of them don't because it's too much, then what if you sold it for $5.00 and now %40 of subscribers are willing to buy it. It's the SAME amount of profit. It makes NO SENSE TO ME! Unless people are actually that gullible as to be willing to pay that outrageous sum of money for one singular skin deep no real world value item??? I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS AS APPALLING!!!

Optional items

You get what you're paying for ... if you want more you have to pay more.

No fat cat for you~

All I want for SE to do is make certain mogstation items account wide. Like hair, mounts, outfits, and emotes.

I'd pay good hard cash for a optional fishing lure tackle box that is separate from the inventory.

It's not like you need to use any of the items from the Mog Station. Most are simple vanity items and some are convenience. None are essential.

The problem is these people think their sub entitles them to everything the game offers, optional, cosmetic - or not. There can be an argument for pricing (which is high, but not far from the norm), and whether there should or should not be a cash shop in a sub-based MMO, but the thing is, these items probably would never be implemented in the first place if there wasn't one.

I do not agree that the pricing is a" rip-off", again, optional cosmetic content, but if you do - here's the solution don't buy it then!

They could add something where a sub gives people like 100 Crysta a month, and they can use that to buy a new outfit every 6 months or something. That's what Swtor does.

If they added Rainmaker (the hairstyle) to the mogstation, I would have to disagree about none being essential. But that's just because I'm shallow and that hairstyle is soooooo sexy.
