It's artificially gatekeeping something that should be a frickin' feature in this game. If you're going to keep shoveling actually good things into the Cash Shop for cheap sh*t? You're going to lose your playerbase. Oh wait - Dawntrail already did that because you fumbled the bag. HARD.
In case you didn't know, I am still watching for new emotes. I am waiting for new equipment or glamours to be added that aren't Cash Shop. I'm waiting for furnishings that aren't in the Cash Shop...can we even get a god damn crumb at this point?!
JUST. STOP. PUTTING. THINGS. IN. THE. CASH. SHOP.
I don't care if it's inbetween patches to try and fill the void because "Oh well we worked on this on the side..." because guess what? You should've done that in the HOTFIX! If there's one thing I am pissed about it's that SE is giving the player the middle finger while we pay our subs monthly for various reasons that I will not go into.
Irregardless, as a community we need to push for this change if we want it. There's no "if", there's no "but", there is only DO IT OR DON'T. This isn't a Korean MMO, but it is egregious with how bloated the Cash Shop is with Content that is locked behind Real Money. I don't care if it's $2, I don't care if it's $5, I don't care if it's frickin' $20, I'M NOT BUYING. Everything in that Cash Shop is content the player is gatekept from because of their own wallet.
The only thing I'll leave here with is this: Please. Stop doing Cash Shop already. We know we're getting things in 7.2. But with how much is already on there? JUST LEAVE IT ALONE. This game is in dire need of content, and even if we're getting a new raid tier and some other stuff? I'm tired of seeing the same song and dance - and of course, people will want to say "Why don't you just quit and unsub".
I stay because I want to. You pay the Cash Shop for crap because you want to. All I'm asking is for a boycott of the Cash Shop, and while this won't reach Reddit or Social Media since this is the Forums, we need this cycle to end. It's as bad as the frickin' content cycle at this point, which has been churning into slop since Endwalker.
Anyway, my rant's done. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
