Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

I love the "If i do not like it, it means it´s bad for the game and the industry" attitude.
No, it may be bad for YOU but there´s plenty of people who are happy to further support the game in exchange for pretties.

If you are unhappy with it, well, i honestly mean no ill (as rough as it may sound) when i say that you need to learn to deal with it.
Microstransactions are not going away any time soon and considering how much money they make, if anything, they will be every time more prevalent.

And you guys try try to malign it by claiming that it´s creation/sales takes away from other areas of the game or developing time but the simple fact is that you have no way to prove that.

You malign cash-shoppers the same way the new gen of mmo players maligned outdoor PvPers a decade ago.
"I don´t like it, henceforth it´s evil and anyone taking part in it sucks by will or ignorance"

Your problem, i guess.

yup :) I love the moogle mount and don't mind the price. I have a budget for gaming and this is the main game I play an occasional extra purchase from the mog stations doesn't bother me.

And that's why this is hilarious that some people seemingly complain that there's no way to get those two-seaters ingame, but are apparently either willful ignorant about the options aside the cash shop or aren't willing to perform these feats yet still condemn the shop for its practices.

Of course they won't go away and will get worse just like they have been getting in MMOs history. Because people agree and support.

That's not malign it, that's a truth. People that support this kind of move are the type of people that make all these business abuses exist today. If you don't care of being part of that, good for you. But you are.

Creating the mount itself is using resources. The choice of putting it on mogstation is taking it away from the game. They could've put a recolour mount, or a recolour housing item, but no. Even if it was done with "mogstation money", now mogstation is supporting mogstation? Buy cash shop items so you can have more of it in the future? That's not supporting the game either. That's greedy and if you think that greedy attitudes from a company are good and okay then well, again, good for you. At the end of the day you have a cute mount and making the gaming industry worse by telling them that it's okay so be greedy, take out as many things as you can from the game and make me pay more, I'll agree with it. But you don't care. So good for you.

The dissapointing things I find in these threads is any proper discussion is quickly derailed by the hyperbolic people on both sides of the fence.

I dislike the cash shop and therfore will never purchase from it on principle. People don't need to agree with me and my valuation on what should be included in the subscription. I will continue to give my feedback on the system and offer comprises such as shop items being attainable via ingame means as well as purchased.

The market determines if the cash shop succeeds. My only opinion is that they are pushing too far and they are going to wind up relying on the shop to make profits as the subscriber count thins out due to things such as the cash shop.

All those people you keep telling to accept it or leave might just take yiu up on that offer. Don't be suprised when SE starts to reach for wallet more and more often offering less and less in return.

Oh yes you do. Not only on the forums but elsewhere as well. Check out the official WoW "Mystic Runesaber" video on youtube and see how many likes it has versus dislikes. The CS in sub-based mmos is very similar to dlc in other video games. We used to get a lot more for our money but enough modern consumers, for some reason, are perfectly ok with being double or triple charged. Thus these trends of paying more money for less content will continue as they have for the past decade.
