I'll parrot others here: people would rather scream "No cash shop!"

I have no idea what the deal is with the Odin mount...I mean..well..
Did they expect it was going to be a drop from the new Odin Primal Battle that was shown in Las Vegas? If so...I guess I could understand but, it's totally optional ;___________;.......
Hell, I got it cause I like to look big :x.
Se doesn't need the player's approval to do anything. They are going to put things in the cash shop that they feel would best the company's interest.
Wow another cash shop complaint thread. I guess there wasn't enough of these already. Well I'll take that as a cue to take a break from the forums if this is all people want to discuss.
Maybe it's because people keep saying things like "OMG I REALLY want this item/feature/etc. I'll even be willing to pay real money for it!!!"
I was talking about WoW, but to your reply... yes everyone I talked to expected this. If every primal has a mount drop why wouldn't Odin? "Totally Optional" is different to who you talk to. Some people don't care about raiding, is that "totally optional"? How about crafting? Gear? Housing? The only thing in this game that isn't "optional" is the main scenario since you need it to unlock everything. So while you may not care (and heck I don't either) about mounts, there are others who are angry that their slice of content is now being thrown behind a paywall. Now with EB also getting sliced up, players will have to ask every content trailer:
"So what exactly here comes with my sub, and what is behind a paywall?"
Regardless of how SE implements said items, it won't be free and everyone still has an equal chance of getting items. Outside of RMT there is no way to cheat that.
The people arguing against the cash shop aren't saying they should all get every minion in the mail for free... they want the opportunity to at least have a chance to get said item. So I guess you can say: We are already paying the subscription and will even "work" for it too!
