Stop Online Store Items

[Thaciscokidd]

In any game, for each players who says something bad about the Cash store there at least 10 out there who will open there wallets no matter how loudly people rally against it.

People cried about this $90 pre tax mount and this how Dornogal was. I know on Illidan there was a parade of at least 20 of them "flexing on the poors"

In fact there are many ppl that want cosmetic items to be on cash store so they can just buy it and not spend hours grinding for it.
I used to be against cash shops but seeing those ppl I think its ok.
Also without the store or raising sub fee this game will be a terrible business compared to how much money other AAA live service games make these days with gachas.

I wish there where way more rewards in the game like some of the outfits and definitely the hairstyles. They could have added a nice outfit for the rising event instead I got a minion that I do not really care for. They also need to have a NPC moogle similar to FFXI where you go and can buy old event rewards so everyone can have them, I do not mean things like legacy or PVP but the events that have been and gone.

I know they are adding some new outfits and hair and I will probably buy them but that is because they are lacking in the hair and good outfit department. I really hope they stop all this disco streetwear shit it is all the same rolled into one. I also saw the hairstyle for the mobile game with a toggle and I know loads of players would kill for that but the price of it omg and here we are still not even in our version of the game.

I do choose to spend my money on the odd thing from the shop and I am probably like others just wanting a nicer hairstyle or outfit because the game sadly does not add them.

Yes but I'm sure SE would create the worst of both worlds options, like collect 100 xmas tokens at 3% drop rate for 1 small tree each if it were added back into the game as old holiday rewards.

lol you are probably right!

they should at least put old event items into the game. time limited to the christmas event every year. buyable at that christmas market they made. for quite a bit of gil though.
like that they would serve as a gil sink while making the market more interesting

so people have the choice between kinda cheap items in the store for RL money and timelimited expensive items ingame.



one thing im curious about though: how much would they have to increase the monthly sub if the shop disappears?

I doubt anyone in the community can answer that question factually with any real confidence.

However - I, personally, would actually be quite concerned if this were the case. We do know that FFXIV is SE's biggest cash-cow. We also know that much of the income the game generates via subscriptions doesn't get fed back into the game itself.
And whilst have no evidence to support this, popular opinion seems to suggest that the income the cash-shop generates does get fed back into the game itself.

Therefore I guess the question would be 'how much profit does the cash-shop generate' - because they'd pretty much have to account for that profit-loss into this theoretical sub-increase.

I believe yoshi said all the profit cash-shop make is going into the game's budget when they introduced cash store but its a long time ago so could be different now.

The thing that is most egregious to me is that cash shop items aren't unlocked on every character. The idea that I am meant to pay $20 for a glamour set for multiple characters is absolutely absurd.

This does really annoy me so much. I have bought things and would love them to be account wide and they really should be it is wrong.
