Firstly, I want to bring up the issue of cosmetic sales after the Kickstarter campaign. This has caused frustration among supporters who believed the game was already fully funded. The addition of FOMO-style sales may bring in extra revenue, but it is not a good look for a game that claims to be transparent and community-focused. It is important to remember that the community is the reason why the game is even in development, and they deserve to be treated with respect and honesty.
To be absolutely clear here, Intrepid said they were going to have monthly cosmetic packs pre-launch right from just after the kickstarter.
They said this well before they ever said the games development was fully funded. Intrepid maintaining monthly cosmetic packs is them keeping their word to those that joined early - they have a choice each month to purchase something that will not he made available again.
Intrepid doing as they have always said they do is not showing disrespect, nor dishonesty. It doesnt suggest anything other than an open, transparent development of this game. Keep in mind, Intrepid are simply maintaining the status quo that they have put in place, and that the community as a whole has bought in to. Them altering that status quo would suggest disrespect and dishonesty (it would literally be Intrepid going against what they have said).
What I do find disrespectful though, is your post.
The monthly sales of cosmetics are not an issue. Companies having limited time products is a thing that many people really like. If you do not like such things, just don't buy them - it isnt rocket science.
As to the FOMO argument associated with this - if someone suffers from FOMO, that is their problem. Rather than trying to stop companies around them from offering limited time products to those that enjoy them, these people should instead enlist actual professional help to get over that FOMO issue they have.

Mushroom Figurine
Hi guys! I'm Lorey. I really love mmorpg games and am really looking forward to the release of Ashes of Creation. I want to share my creativity.
I'm new to sculpting, but this mushroom seemed very cute to me ❤️, and I enthusiastically began to embody it in a figurine.
I will be very happy if these works get on the stream in the #FanFriday section:)
Material: polymer clay, acrylic paints, varnish for polymer clay.
Height 85mm.
I also attach several photos with the process.

Dünir... computer table
Hello! It’s been a while since my first (and last) post here—I simply prefer to read, and I’m too lazy to write.:D
But now I have something to share with you!
Maybe you remember my dwarf-style jewelry box (which was posted here)? So I decided that I needed a proper stand for it. Also, I've wanted a new computer table for a long time, so I decided, why not combine the table and the stand? Of course, the table should be at least a bit dwarf-style to match the box. So I went through the wiki and all livestreams (anyway, I've been watching every livestream since the announcement) and used these images as a reference.
