Cash Shop Items for FFXIV possible future update?

[Jynx]

Nothing that can't be obtained within the game should ever appear in a cash shop.

The only acceptable things to me are utillities such as race/name/server changes, something that justifies the cost.

I've been a paying customer since release, and nothing would make me quit faster than a cash shop in FFXIV.

first of all if your ties to a game are simplistic as that good on ya mate o.o "I QUIT A GAME BECAUSE OF A COSMETIC CASH SHOP THAT DID NOT INVOLVE P2W ITEMS DERP"

I agree on the bottom but look at it as this >.> you have 1-4 variations of swim suits available in game and cash shop has lets say 2 other variations not any better then ones in game but just a special color and the outfit sells for 50cents to a dollar... not saying all bad ass outfits would be in cash shop just a way to change the way you look... now again I'm looking through this as how TSW did it then again they made their gear so outfits had no statistical value on them... I think I forgot while arguing this here lol... I don't support free to play but I do support more cosmetics for players >.>/

I never heard about a cash shop that sells stuff less than $10. But that's just my experience.

I'm not fully supporting the idea... I just hate when someone bashes a concept because they don't look at all aspects of it... Never look at a thing from just 1 angle its a 3 dimensional world >.>/ look into the depth that surrounds us!~ @_@/

Then I'd have to ask why was that content held back from paying customers? I'd rather have all the variations of the swimsuit in the game instead of having 2 sets that are unobtainable unless you want to spend extra cash.

Random thought...Why not put those vanity outfits in the synthesis recipes?

I can get behind paying for things that increase SE's workload. Race, name, gender, server changes, things like that. Maybe even some vanity items that wouldn't make sense as a crafted item. The useless pets that just follow you around and make noise once in a while come to mind.

Not that I mind the developers making money where they can, but there are some lines that just ought not be crossed. On that note, even vanity outfits wouldn't bug me so much as to make me quit. Pay to win items would though.

No. No cash shop! Not now, not ever! The moment they introduce cash shop is the moment I lose all faith in the game and leave. Cash shop is for money-hungry companies who don't genuinely give a crap about their players.

I still don't see what the negative review on it is >.> Its just it boosts revenue and it does not give people Pay to Win items then its fine... a cash shop that is purely cosmetic is not evil... seriously I don't see why people are against it o.O its not like all the items on it would be the coolest looking items in game... read up on how TSW implemented their cash shop it turned out pretty well... Its just something to boost a little revenue on the side... unless your the ones who think S-E shouldn't get a dime and that all the developers can starve...

I SUPPORT WELL FED GAME DEVELOPERS -sticks tongue out-

If YOU want to give extra money to SE, why don't you just pull out a checkbook and mail them a donation instead of trying to force crap like this on everyone?

People are against it because we're already paying for the game, and if an item comes out (cosmetic or otherwise), we all want equal opportunity to get it, rather than 'those with the fattest wallets get the cosmetics'.

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

Exactly but since I was called out by Mizu my reasoning is that cash shops are just a way for lazy companies to make a quick buck with content that is either useless or gives players an unfair advantage.
It first starts out as a costume or a hat with pathetic stats that just looks cool but later on it is buying gear that is on par to some of the game's best drops.
At the end of the day FFXIV does not need a cash shop you pay to play. The only place a cash shop should be is in a F2P MMO's where they need to make money back from having no subscription fee (which again I do not want). I should be able to get ALL the items since I pay to play this game. Why pay twice? So again I retort: Do not want... ever /end

I don't mind cash shop for itens as long as they are aesthetics only.
