Snap Emote

[DoH]

This is nice... but it would be even better if they added Emet's goodbye wave.

[M0rrigan]

Now you can come up with your own new recipes!

[Arrius]

And, yes - This is a imported emote from the Korean cash shop, hence it's on sale here as well.

[Haruka_R]

I can't help but laugh and smh at this emote.

To the specific guy who was asking for this, I'm very happy for you.

[Feronar]

Yes, but does snapping make half the players and NPCs disappear?

[...]If it didn't exist, then the items wouldn't either.

That is a statement you can only know if you could observe two realities: One in which the shop exists and one without.

But let's go with this way too: If the shop didn't exist, more of exclusive shop-items would be available in the game. (via gil, mgp, achievement/effort etc.)
Also not something one can definitely be sure about... well, unless the one whoever decides to withhold something from the game to make it shop-exclusive ofc.

Except as stated in some live letters, there's a separate team working on Mogstation items.

No Mogstation, no Mogstation team, no extra items appearing in exchange for ingame currency.

Hmm, Schrödinger's Mogstation. I guess it's better than stuffing a Miqo'te in a box!

(I fall on the side of, there would not be as many, money pays wages)

Unless you know the reality of how game development works, then you have a more perceptional idea of how that other reality would have played out.

In game development, a huge swath of ideas, mechanics, etc are binned and thrown away due to limited time/not being able to fit with the game world. Even without a mogstation, there is little guarantee any of the stuff from it would have ever made it in-game at all. From the short times I worked in game development, the project I worked on binned at least 3x as many powerups and nearly 4x as many ideas for levels than there were in-game by the end product.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if half of the mogstation stuff is all those binned ideas that Yoshi-P and his team couldn't make work/fit into the game for one reason or another for the mogstation team to sift through.

Look back pre cashshop and after, how many fancy dresses did we get during the whole of ARR?
Not many i can tell you. Certainly less then 5. Same with mounts, just the beast tribes just like now and a few here and there.
We still got some nice outfits each patch my impression just as many in shadowbringers as in arr.
The sudden influx of mounts and outfits is purely thanks to the cash shop. My impression looking at the past we wouldnt have them at all if it wasnt for cashshop.
