As for the FFXIV items, well to be fair most of this stuff eventually goes on sale anyway so if players waited they could get them for sometimes near half the cost if they just waited. Ain't any rush getting that Fat Cat or Carpet mounts other than just to look cool, no different to rushing to complete main story quests before everyone else (which will happen with the expac). Could the MogStation stuff be cheaper somewhat, yeah sure, though I'd doubt we would have as many items if no one was purchasing them enough to begin with.
