To Devs: Stop Shoveling Content Into the Cash Shop

[Hanayumi]

Devs dont really have a choice nor Yoshi-P, its ran by seperate group SE put in place as a deal with Yoshi-P, basically the FFXIV devs are contracted to give up something to cash shop on a regular basis (even more so with SK and CH.)

You guys need to wake up and realize that the scary MogStation lady who they conveniently never named and never revealed is a made up entity to redirect frustration into a void.

It not content, it only carrot stick. Like how chaotic is made to have hairstyle and mount as a carrot stick for the content.

She's been featured on a PLL in the past, explained how the shop is run and is why we know that there's a team separate from the main development team that works exclusively on the shop's catalogue. Furthermore, if this was a ploy to redirect hatred, it would have to be one they've been pushing since its implementation; before the cash shop even existed as back then it was called MogStation Optional Items, as even as far back as ARR, HW and SB, since they've been mentioning her since then. She's the head of marketing for Final Fantasy XIV's IP, she's been on the game project since 1.0 and outranks him in both tenure and seniority.

They need to make all purchases be account wide and allow them to be duplicated for housing furnishings like Island Sanctuary does, then I would tolerate Mogstation purchases more.

The issue is people keep buying those items (me included for some), it's not a F2P game and all rewards should be available IG...

And? All your alts have the same paint-drinking look on their faces.

Optional items still aren't content.

White knight of Square enix. Keep doing this and they'll put more items behind the cash shop.

Ya'll really think you'll stop a 10 year old Cash Shop that came in ablazin with the pregnant Slepnir mount.

I didn't think I'd have to clarify that calling online store items "content" is giving SE too much credit, but okay.

In a Game which you have to buy and pay a monthly subscription there shouldnt be ANY KIND OF optional items on the store not in a game which actually is known as Glamour Fantasy 14, gate keeping good looking glam behind paywalls while you still have to pay your subscription is just a greedy dumb ass move
