[REQUEST] Please stop making cash shop items for one character on the account.

Hi, I regularly play 4 characters on FFXIV and pay a slightly increased sub for this privilege. I don't like using Fantasia as although I don't RP, I have set character backgrounds for them all and don't wish to change from this. Clearly I'm in the minority here, as the Phial of Fantasia is the top-selling item on the Mogstation. Obviously, that's fine but the minority still matters in my opinion!

I don't think it's fair that if I purchased say, Play Dead for £4.03, I can only use it on one character that might only get used for say, 25-33% of my playtime, while my others go without. I think to expect people who play alts regularly because they like a change of pace for whatever reason to pay several times that much is just greedy - we already pay a subscription as it is.

Yes, I realise I don't have to purchase it and so far, I haven't. The only single character purchase I have made so far was for my wedding. The other was the Fat Moogle mount which although it cost me £17, all my characters can use it. I think all items on the Mogstation should be account-wide like this.

An alternative suggestion would be to say, charge £4.03 for Play Dead and £7 or so for an account-wide version. That way, people with only one character don't have to pay more. Like our subscription fee, we pay a little more to have access to more characters so why can't the Mogstation reflect this too?

I feel this is punishing players who choose to plays alts rather than buy Fantasia and I don't think that's right. I'd appreciate it if you could consider forwarding my points to the people who make decisions regarding this.

Thank you!

For the prices they charge, the cash shop items should be account wide, perhaps not dyes, but the rest should be imho

They are completely out of whack with similar items in other games. Their single character prices are what are the common account-wide prices in other MMOs. They really need to adjust this.

Honestly for several items, the single character prices here are MORE than the common account-wide prices in other MMOs.

Yep, that too. I would love to give them my additional cash, but they don't give me enough value for what they're charging, especially since I have experience with other MMOs. I feel like I'm being gouged and that makes my wallet snap closed.

I'd suggest that consumable items such as dyes or potions should be character specific. Everything else emotes, mounts, gear of any kind, hairstyles, minions, furniture, etc... should be account wide. The one exception to this would be Fantasia. Fantasia used to be account wide, then without a drop in price it was made character specific. I believe that Fantasia should be sold in two varieties, account wide and character specific. The character specific should be half the price of the account wide - which should be set at the current price.

A two tier pricing system would work well, but for that SE needs to get real about the prices of their items. The price of outfits on the Mogstation rival the purchase price of full game, if these prices were raised for account wide items, I do not think there would be many takers. On the other hand if current prices were frozen for account wide and a lower price for character specific, I think SE would see a fairly good uptick in purchases from the Mogstation.

Event items should be available in-game for gil the following year. But after the event closes, items from the prior year, should then be made available on the mogstation. this way, players have two chances to get the items in-game before they go cash-shop.

Sadly this won't happen as they make tones of money with it :/

If they make all the items with two prices, single-character and account-wide, my bet their income improves.
Even if I have only one character, I'd vauche for account-wide just for the freedom to always have that if I create new toons.

Well, knowing them they'd take the current prices and at least double them for the account-wide purchase.
