Omega Emote is Tasteless

[KayRadley]

Life is a big bowl of sweaty lemons. You want lemonade so bad, but you're too tired and depressed to make it. Instead you just eat the lemons. You resort to crumpling up stevia packets all over the barely peeled sad citruses in your sad little salad bowl, and you eat it. You eat slowly while you're crying.

And you tell no one.

Dude, you need professional help. I'm not being snarky or anything: if you really believe this, you need a psychiatrist.

The emote is free, my friend.
It's a bonus for a cool figure.

Reported, logic is not allowed here

A permanent OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE emote that does not desist after a use is a tasteless thing to put out in the fan base.

It sends a message that some players are worth 220$, and that other fans are not. It was already controversial when they had the non persistent emotes tied to a statue, but now they have this gaudy status symbol.

How do you think new players in two years are going to feel when they see elitist mc sally rubbing this emote in their face at the end game hub, and they cant ever get it, because they didn't buy a 220$ statue.

The worst part? It's not like a rare or discontinued mount. You can't turn this thing off. It can be used ANYWHERE.

I don't like it. I don't like how it feels to be one of the many players without this thing, and you don't have to say it for me. I am jealous, and it does make me upset. That shouldn't be the formula in an mmo. Everything should be achievable if you put the work in it.

At the very least they could keep the statue in stock and let people buy it when they can afford it, but nope. It's a time limited stinky pile of tasteless crap, meant to show off that you've got money to burn in the middle of a pandemic.

You bet I'm upset. I've got a broken leg, and medical bills. I've also only got two people working in my household. We can't get sick. We have to limit the amount of people working, because it would put vulnerable house members at risk. Covid would kill two members of our household. Money is TIGHT.

And don't come at me with the crap that I don't NEED this mmo. Just because I can't afford everything right now, doesn't mean I have to live like a rotting soul in the Ishgardian brume. I should be allowed to play this game like all of you. People who struggle with finances still deserve to have quality experiences to spend their time.

If I spent all this time with my broken leg just twiddling my thumbs, I would be feeling way worse.

So cut some people some slack. And please Square Enix, consider making the content that you put in the game a lot fairer to obtain. I love this game, but I would hate for it to fall into the trap of time exclusive cosmetics that Fortnite, Warframe, Genshin Impact, and other games have fallen into. It's honestly depressing how much money games are expecting you to throw at them lately.

At least you can buy something in the mog station whenever you would like to, and when you can afford it.

And you wonder why you were dropped off in a gaol.

[EgilTheStressedMage]

Let me know when it adds a permanent 20% stat boost with an ugly appearance that a twice killed Korean MMO has done then you can call it an issue.

Holy mother. It looks like it‘s going to ask for the manager D:

I think you mean the statue is free, it's a bonus for the emote.

Ha ha ha??

[Doozer]

All this over an emote. Some people.

And you wonder why you were dropped off in a gaol.

This gave me a laugh; I was thinking the same thing.
