Cash Shop Items for FFXIV possible future update?

[Aluxes]

Rather than installing the cash shop button right in the UI, I had idea of more... subtle approaches.

The game may go P2P to encourage new player (admit it, F2P IS successful these days), but to fully enjoy the game, you need to take monthly subscription. Here the few things that I had in mind:

1. People who play for free will not get Resting bonus upon sleeping in their Inn Room.

2. A new shop called "Boutique" is installed in each cities in Eorzea. These shop will offer new & un-tradeable fashion items each week that is available to buy with crysta for free-player. But for people who subscribe, they can buy it with gil instead.

3. Remodelling feature is available to use for people who subscribe. What is remodelling feature, you ask? It is basically changing the appearance of your high lv equipment to any low lv equipment that you like. So you can have an AF armor with the appearance of Weathered Jacket if you wish....

That is several things that i had in mind. Might be adding more if I have finally attain my Warrior and Paladin job later on.

Any rant is welcome -w-/

i prefer subscription with the option of cash shop - making it Free to play will doom this game with more unwanted RMT
i dont see it ruining the game if its only for costumes and pets as long as it doesnt sell items that make players OP like STR%-VIT% cards buffs players for 30 days with extra exp

I'm sure he has his reasons that others have already said before that don't need to be reinstated.

most of them didnt state good reasons they are only afraid of cash shop items that boost ur character and FFXIV becoming F2P which i dont see a reason for cash shop to exist with subscription no one will force them to buy from cash shop items

We don't really need "good reasons". You either want it or you don't. Aside from buying a collectors edition or something similar, if i cant earn it in game then i don't support having it available for real money.

Pretty sums it up. XD

Even Cash Shopping for Vanity Items would be bad not for the game itself, but for other people around that will see you where this shiny new red Cloak, and everyone else would want it. ( Yes Even fashion that isn't possible in the game to get, and only bought through a Cash Shop makes people jealous that some people may even leave the game cuz of it).

Keep everything in-game.. keep everything fair, You pay for a subscription for a reason, not to dull out more cash.

Only "Cash Shops" I don't mind ( Which aren't really cash shops to me) are Race change/World Transfers. Because they don't affect the game ( At all), Vanity items ( Visually) effect the game. Keep it fair and everyone will be happy ^.^.
