I dont see what the problem is. If people can pay for it, then woo to them. Xbox does the same thing with a lot of DLC. <__< quit yo whining. I think the bitter ones are the poor ones, sorry you cant afford to buy the tickets.

For the precious items (such as Ely Sion, Edel Fucil & Edel Arrow) you had better believe that I'll be using the guaranteed grind via gc to get it to an 8/10 or better.
"Very high" chance of success for an S+10 on a one-time item? No thank you.
It's not a matter of not having the money. It's a matter of wanting to spend real money on fake items that will disappear when the servers are shut down.
but by all means do so if you feel the need
Increasing the numbers on my pixelized weapons can hardly be considered DLC, or something even remotely close to it. Also, you don't repurchase the DLC every time you go to use it: it's a one time deal.
And you can't possibly be shallow enough to use the "you must be poor" argument. Honestly now, that's just flamebaiting. Anyone here who can't afford more than the $10 subscription probably shouldn't be (and isn't) paying for it in the first place.
Materialists! If you can count virtual pieces of code as something you own that is. But I guess so, you can steal software. Well you're paying a monthly fee to play PSU too, aren't you basically doing the same as buying items from the cash shop? Your characters disappear too when the servers shut down.
I don't get people. Never have. Never will.

Monthly fee?
I paid monthly fees to access the server and play the game.
Dunno what you guys paid yours for.
This.
I mean, its quite obvious what Sega is doing now. Your game is failing, people are quitting their subscriptions and you add....a cashshop?
Cashshops are for one thing and one thing ONLY in MMORPGs -- easy profit. If you know your players want Costumes, why should you add new ones in there for free? Get the 3D Modeler to do a new outfit, get an artist to do a quick texture for it, and boom -- $5 charged in cash shop. Subscriptions are only $10 a month, so if they can get us to fork over anything extra, its making them extremely happy.
The way i see it, they added this cash shop for 2 reasons. First, so they can try and offset the money lost from canceled subscriptions with cashshop buys, and Second to get PAID for being fucking lazy. Getting paid for absolutely nothing. Grinding Boosts? Line Sheild %age increases? Temporary access to missions that already exist? This what you deal with when you're playing some Free-To-Play bullshit game where the developers can easily slide with it because they can always say "Its free, quit if you want." They quit trying to increase the population with fun events and content, and now are going to milk the remains for all its worth.
...But Sega has been effing its community over since the damn game launched. Unlocking content off of discs, limiting level caps, releasing items at horribly slow intervals...its robbery, really. If this game was FUN we could let it slide, but its becoming increasingly obvious they are trying their hardest to not have to try.
So, current PSU'ers, when you start getting charged for unreleased weapons and missions (that are already on the disc), content from PS Portable (that should have been released on our game when it released, it uses the exact, EXACT same fucking engine. Are there even any new maps in that game? Any new AI even?), and crap like that, you can start to ask yourself why you're still supporting this game.
P.S.
BTW just to verify that sega has taken the road to absolute bullshittery, who wants to bet money on the fact that something in this new "Combat System Upgrade" will involve them incorporating features into the game that are cash-shop reliant? If sega resorts to the Korean MMO method of getting paid, then all is lost on us.

It could also be applyed to going/renting movies, going to a strip club, going to an amusment parks, and etc.. You don't get to keep all those things either, they are just for entertainment. I don't see anything wrong if people want to spend a little more money to enhance there entertainment in the game. The CS stuff is going to be optional, knowone is going to be force to buy it. Hopefully they will release more free contant too.
