Online Store is Getting Worse!

[Raoabolic]

People keep buying so why not keep doing it? Also the exchange rate for dollars to yen is 142 right no so them making pretty much anything in dollars makes them INSANELY profitable in Japan. It really is worse then you think it is.

That is the devils barging we all make by playing FF14. They deliver a solid product and we all look the other way on their extremely excessive monetization.

Who is looking the other way? The line seems to be drawn between those that see the cash shop for what it is and zealous SE defenders. Thing is, the battle is being fought on SE's land. What side do you think SE is going to listen to? The minority who see the mogshop as a EA inspired creation or the legion who will blindly clap when the dev's parent company tell them to? lol

It has been overpriced from a long time. $5 for a face emote? I pass. $22 for the car hoodie? I painly pass (that hoodie is fire).

But i see it this way: if you enjoy the game and play it every day, you can spare a little in the store. I DO wish for better prices tho, we already pay a monthly fee so the store is not the main income for SE in FF XIV.

and one of those is AF which gets quite some stylistic effort put in(effort, but doesn't mean it'll be the Highest of Quality. but they'll make sure it's made as they want)

The worst part about the store is how they only let you get event cosmetics once and then relegate them to the cash shop forevermore after. As compared to other MMOs where every time the event comes around again, you get another chance to get the items in-game.

To be fair it doesnt happen with all event cosmetics. We did get a few repeats of some of those events that gave newer people a chance to claim the attire/mounts/minion etc. (Still remember people complaining about them anyway but you cant please nitpickers)

As someone who frequently purchases primarily outfits (once upon a time fantasias), we can argue what 'looks better', but the actual quality of cash shop items isn't really higher than those found available in-game. I haven't personally counted the amount of casual style outfits or outfit pieces that have been available in-game, but you can still find quite a few through in-game means, or previously through events.
