Another 500$ emotes, just what we needed

[maximesan514]

Thanks square enix for releasing another unobtainable 500$ emote. We appreciate you milking your playerbase to the bone, as usual !!!!!!

maybe if this community had a little bit of self control they wouldnt sell an emote for that price ?

I think the funnier thing is like the omega emote just no one is going to be using it, so people buying it for the emote are just going to be too embarassed to use it. Like, in my entire time playing I've seen maybe 2 or 3 people use the omega emote, hell I rarely see people use some of the emotes you CAN buy in the cash shop.

Just don’t buy it. No one is forcing you.

Honestly I just forget about the emotes most of the time. I don't have them on hotbars and I don't really use the emote menu that often.

Plus, randomly using them is obnoxious.

I gotta hurry and get here before someone says just don't bu- Dang.

In a world full of gamers with common sense, sure. However, this is the XIV community we're talking about here. Nothing we do on an individual level matters when the community's full of people who will buy anything SE churns out no matter how stupid, worthless, and overpriced it is.

That's the best part. They sold out so fast (within minutes), that OP couldn't buy it even if he wanted to. People are scalping the crap out of these codes in a few months. Please look forward to it!

I hope more threads about this gets made. Just drown the front page in complaints about this crap. It's well earned. I wish I could run a live service game on a subscription model, put out 3 meaningful updates a year, and then nickel and dime people in a cash shop that would make f2p korean mmos blush. Can you imagine? It's wild that XIV doesn't get more funding. It's basically a cash cow.

To be fair, as much as I agree I also realize that it doesn't matter.

Even if 95% of the community had this level of common sense, as long as there's enough people out there willing to profit these moronic scam ventures then SE will continue to put them forward.

Implying it's just the xiv community that does this is disingenuous. You can say that about anything. Sports fans buying tickets at exorbitant prices, people buying shoes at crazy prices.

Welcome to free market capitalism.

Oh I agree with you lmao, I've always said it, they could sell a water bottle with a G'raha Tia image on it and sell it for hundrends and still manage to sell it even tho it'd be tap water in it

anything this company sells goes no matter the price, it's actually pretty pathetic how people have absolutely 0 self control in this game, and yes "it's their money" but that doesnt mean i cant criticize their choices.

FFXIV and its community is easily one of the worst at that tbh, honestly.
