![]() It's why I hardly buy any AAA games these days. Even in $70 games like fucking NFL, FIFA or CoD they're rife with them because people will buy them. This is why the gaming industry is so fucked and full of MTX right now. Wish people would stop supporting greedy capitalistic practices. They are a BILLION dollar company and they aren't your fucking friends. ![]() SE aren't some half-broke company that desperately need our help. If you assume this game has 1 mil active subs x $12.99 per month that's $12,990,000. I highly highly HIGHLY doubt the costs of server infrastructure even come close to how much revenue they make. If the cash shop really really helps support the devs, how is it they were able to have FFXI running for the past 18 years on the exact same sub fee they have XIV now? In FFXI you can still get every single item every made through the game and not through some stupid cash shop. You only need to look at older MMOs to see that content was available through the game and only the game. Is the Mogstation becoming a detriment to the overall game? Some are subjective, I know, but there are more than enough examples for all of these. It becomes a detriment when there's arguably more creativity put into cash shop designs than into in-game items. It becomes a detriment when the game suffers a weeks (was it months?) long delay, with additional content cuts (the gradual decrease over time is another discussion), because of the virus - but the cash shop additions remain right on time. It becomes a detriment when lootboxes in an entire new zone are filled with literal junk because there's barely anything else to put in them. It becomes a detriment when things that arguably could/should be in-game rewards from quests are just put up for sale for cash (Spriggan mount during Easter and the snap emote are just the two latest I remember off the top of my head). It becomes a detriment when there's hardly any gil sink in the game anymore. It becomes a detriment when the GS is bleeding MGP from literally everywhere and it's all too easy to have millions - and nothing to spend it on. It becomes a detriment when they're throwing stuff in the cash shop when there's a certificate achievement vendor in the game that's just collecting digital dust (sorry, Jonathas). I wouldn't expect that to do terribly much, but it's the power you have here as a consumer. If you strongly don't like it, unsub and cite the Mog Station as the primary reason for your subscription cancellation. If you dislike the Mog Station, don't buy anything from it. Unfortunately, as is the case with gacha games, some users have more votes than others. This is only my instinct based on what I feel and have recognized based on paying semi-attention to what's released in the Mog Station over time.įor better or worse the main power we have as consumers here, if you feel strongly enough about it, is with the wallet. My gut feeling is that the Mog Station has been normalized in what's been added to it and in what timeframe since sometime in early or mid Stormblood at the latest. I've also half a mind that people would twist the resulting data to fit whatever narrative they please, as is tradition. I really want to take the time to document every single Mog Station addition over time but dear god that will take several hours at least, it's nowhere near as well-documented or smoothly documented as the patch notes.
