Will no longer purchase optional items in response to statue emote

[MAJRIS]

Is there specific way you have to spend the money or it doesnt matter as long as your balance is low?

where is this statue emote everyone is getting their knickers in a twist over? i see nothing on the mogstation and the only thing i can find via google is a joke post on reddit dated 2 years ago

You don't see it on Mog Station because it's a bonus item that only comes with a physical statue (of a very questionable quality).
Here's the preview for the emote, on Lodestone:

I agree. I was kind of let down by the emote itself, especially since it doesn't seem like it loops like the omega emotes. Tbh despite what other people are saying in this thread, I think what a lot of people don't understand is I HAVE to spend this money. Having a large amount of money (which normally I don't have) is bad on disability. If I don't get rid of this money soon, my funds WILL be cut off, and it could take up to 6 months to get them back, which is beyond my temporary blessing of not having to worry about my finances for the next two months. I was really hoping this statue would be the solution, as I could be knocking out multiple birds with one stone, but seeing them try to minimize what their customer gains, I canceled it immediately. If I could save this money I would, but that's not an option on disability. I have to be rid of it by the end of the month.

Despite my family wanting me to spend this on myself, I might have to just ignore that and buy my friends a bunch of games on steam or something.

One option could be to get yourself 6 months of subscription among other things. I'm not sure what's the half a year price is for NA, but I imagine it will cover at least $80, probably.

Also as a general question because the way American disability system works is frankly mind boggling to me... can't you keep that money in cash?

By technicalities I do have to pay specific things like bills and such, which I have met those requirements, but not to the same extent that I did before, meaning I have much more than usual, plus I have the money from Christmas. To the government, as long as I contribute to the household I'm allowed to do whatever else I wish with the money. The only reason why I'm struggling with the money right now is my family's request, but I think I am just gonna have to give it away in some way. I wish I could say, buy something of worth to technically save the money, but by technicalities I'm not allowed to do that so I won't lol.

By technicalities I could, but if they found out I would be cut off from my funds and benefits, and probably be charged a fine, if not have legal charges pressed against me, as they wouldn't know how long I'd been exceeding the 2,000$ limit and wouldn't know how much I would actually owe them.

That's... I've no words for just how bad it sounds. :x

Yeah.. at that price I was hoping it was a full figure like the others but its more of a bust with just their upper 1/2. Its very overpriced as is, even for a Meister, and wouldnt recommend it. Considering what we got with Omega's figure and its price, I genuinely think they bumped the price up because of that emote.

[Heavenchild]

I always disliked those figure emotes. In my opinion it divides the playerbase into rich and poor on a level that should not exist. They should sell the figures without any ingame codes, so that just people who REALLY want that merch are going to buy them.

But of course they can sell more figures and get much more cash from people who buy that expensive stuff just because of the emotes. It's a shame for this company to use such methods, in my opinion.
