Online Store is Getting Worse!

$22 for the latest set which is a freaking pajama hoodie...



It's never enough for Squeenix. Even during a sale store items are insanely overpriced. I couldn't buy anything this year because the prices are just too damned high for my meager budget. How do they justify these outrageously high prices? How do people justify paying them? $42 dollars for a mount? Who has that kind of money!?

Give us a break, Squeenix.

*Puts 35 dollar mounts on sale for 22 dollars*
Like this? :^)

You were just in the existing thread about this commenting basically the same thing. Why create another?

People who have thousands to drop on f2p and mobile games. People who have thousands to drop on golf, social drinking, and other expensive hobbies.


People love to talk about how expensive XIV is. It's not.

As a hobby, gaming is incredibly cheap. You spend almost nothing.

If I buy 2 Lego sets a year, it's more than I spend on XIV, by a long shot. Especially when it's the bigger sets.

Yea I find the mogstation pretty overpriced for what is offered. Evidently the cash grab works though.

I love how you can use this exact same argument with loot crates. Never change gamers, lol.

[Boblawblah]

Because enough people keep buying stuff. If they didn't, it would change.

No, loot crates are terrible, they prey on people and can drain vulnerable people's life savings. No one should be OK with loot crates.

Because that was a general discussion on the new items in the OS and I want a discussion on Squeenix's insane price gouging.

[MistakeNot]

There is a very simple solution for all those, like me, who think most of the items in the Online store are far too expensive.
You don't buy them.
