Omega Emote is Tasteless

[ItMe]

For the record: Got the statue. The emote's cool for all of like, 5 seconds.

Yo, use it with the new angel wings accessory.
That's pretty neat.

Nah. I draw the line with angel/demon wings. That just aint my aesthetic, ya know?

Totes fair.
They don't work with my Lala either lol (too heavy on the cherub vibes).

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.

I agree. All these expensive emotes are just a way for Square Enix to differentiate between the haves and the have-nots. I thought we were playing a game where we can escape IRL inequality :/

You can't use special emotes with the new wings or even have weapons out sadly.

It's just an emote - no biggy

Not like the minions from the originals DVD soundtracks we cant get

[Insertusernamehere]

I am not going to buy it but I think it is a good thing.. SE making extra money means more content and updates in future hopefully with this money they can fix MCH identity and DRK self sustain problems :3
Consider it a donation.. rewards in shop mostly not worth it.

They can add something like golden cow or golden pig mount.. and make it 500USD or something.. to show up you are supporter fan boy.. and kinda rich person I am fine with it :3

Imagine wasting real money for an emote that you gonna use the first day then forget it.
