The Belt-Leather attire needs to be treated like a breaking point for the community

what make me sad is well it's mogstation instead of in game reward for content or currency trade

If only there was a spot for ingame rewards. Something like the silver chests in occult. Damn shame that their loot table is simply too filled up with bozja and eureka drops.

Liveletter in nutshell: "We need money"

Gracious company square enix released a way to fund 7.5 second zone with two raids, 7.51 ultimate and more useless jewelry for yoship's hands.

Yet people are upset.

there is literally this proverb in my native language which goes:
“he is not dumb who asks, but the one who pays”

that and the pot chest to because well I feel OC mostly killed the MB in less then 2 days

The entire set should be $18. The fact they split it up this way for a total of $42 for all pieces is really wild.

The entire set should be obtainable for $0 as rewards in the game that we pay a monthly subscription for.

TBF it's a paid set made by KR versions of FFXIV, so SE will buy the license back to sell it on the global cash shop like other LE mounts too.

Also, I support more in-game rewards, but cash shop-only stuff will always remain that way since it's always intended to be there.

Wouldn't want this set even if it were just in-game. Never bought anything from the cash shop (aside from some fantasias, and even then I got 'em on sale) and I see no reason to start now.

If "I love defending SE's terrible practices" was a person, it'd be you

"well akshually you only need to wear one glam at a time so it's not $42"

I don't have to defend a 'terrible practice' but I do have to point out that there are actually two full sets of gear (chest, legs and feet), and that no other glam on the Mog station has two of each. So, yeah, $18, not $42. (or $24 if you want the glove/head combo, or $6 if you only want that).

Your snark aside, a gear set is a single purchase with a fixed cost. Since you don't even want the gear in the first place, why are you so upset?

The arguments against glamour gear on the Mog station are pointless. It's been over eleven years since the Far Eastern Attire set debuted in 2014. And you think anyone at SE is going to listen to you at this point in time?

I agree with OP.

This set honestly should have been craftable. I'm paying for the game, and they keep adding normal-looking gear for more and more dollars on the store. The really fancy outfits on there, or the NPC cosplays, I get. I even buy those sometimes. But this trend of more expensive outfits that make it feel like instead of playing the game to dress my character (I do a LOT of content for the outfits), they're just trying to remove that step and demand more money at the same time. This set also doesn't allow viera and hrothgar hats in a step away from promises. It makes me feel bad about spending any money on the mogstation at all because I'm losing faith in it.

Other points of faith lost: they haven't had a sale on anything that wasn't an event item since January, and then it was a handful of mounts. I usually use sales to outfit my alts with emotes and sometimes skips but those sales haven't existed either. Also, the event sales have been offset this year until a week into the event, so if I want to get stuff for the event for alts, it makes me wait a week and then the event feels super short because it is already half over by the time the store sale goes up.

I love this game and hate that the online store is making me start to feel bad about giving SE any money, because it keeps asking for more in a way that feels like it doesn't respect us as players.
