New Mog Station items?

People in this thread are showing another example of this community's low tier attitude of 'I don't want you to have what you'd like, so you can't have it."

If people want to purchase unique cosmetic items. Then they should be allowed to do so. Its their God given right to use their money how they wish. No one has any right to tell them they are wrong. Period.

If anyone is jealous or envious, they can bottle that up and shove it. No one cares.

what the hell does religion have to do with economics?!
i smell more of a troll attempt than an actual arguement.

I never made a statement about selling them on the MB. It had nothing to do with the context here. My opinion on that would be irrelevant. Just as the opinion of someone suggesting I have religious connotations is also irrelevant. Both cases they are free to make fools about themselves and continue. That's their God given right. I'll take the high road and recognize that.

Wow, I had no idea that FFXIV was in such dire financial straits that they forced to debase themselves with a cash shop. I hope Square Enix gets profitable soon or we may end up losing FFXIV!

Oh wow! Sarcasm! Original! Again, to repeat myself since you don't seem to understand, you don't have to buy anything from it. Move on.

People have a divine right to use their money for evil but we have no right to tell them right from wrong? What kind of message is this?

Is buying a mount from a cash shop considered evil now? I think you need to take a look at things in your life if that's considered evil.

The cash shop directly helps the devs that's a fact, just look at how shb has done? And look at eso, sure it's pay to play, but it adds hella items to it's shop regularly, sells mini dlcs that are dungeons, sells houses, sells consumables, sells a crap ton of mounts and you can only buy vanilla horses with actual in-game gold, they still charge a lot for a chapter/expansion, and finally they have everyones favorite loot boxes!

You wanna see a bad cash shop there it is. Mogstation doesn't provide even half of that and rarely adds much if they do. It may look big atm, but they have added onto it since arr so ofc it looks like a lot.

the issue is that eso plain sucks. eso stopped being good after orsinium, imperical city and when cash shop went out of control and that players used the cash shop to sell crowns for golds.
trade golds, in game currency, to buy crowns.... crowns buy you cash shop items. get it?
eso is a grave yard that relies on cash shop to stay alive. because the game is broken and has nothing to offers. its by far the worst example you could have used to add weight to this debate

these mogstation threads are always a mess

This should be required viewing for anyone looking to defend microtransaction monetization practices because they're "purely optional" and "companies need to make money."

If for some reason you're not able to handle his crass presentation, this will serve as well and still covers the same scummy business practices behind mtx.

This is what these corporations who exist to make money think of you. You are a psychological problem to solve to extract maximum money from your wallet.

I mean, I get it. But I don't really see such business practices here. We don't have loot boxes or boosters (like increased gil gain, more exp per kill, etc), which is what most of this refers to. Would I love being able to obtain everything in game? Of course. But a mount or outfit here and there isn't that big of a deal. In the mobile gaming industry, they thrive off of people who want things now, and will pay whatever they can to get them as fast as possible. That is where this issue you've brought up is the most prevalent.
