No Broom Mount on the Mog Station?

Is anyone else disappointed that the broom mount is not up for sale on the Mog Station? I was all ready to spend money on it. I really like that this game has few items that are not obtainable and that newer players if they chose can get some of the old goodies buy supporting the game and buying them. Mayber later this week :confused::confused:

:(

There's Mog maintenance starting soon (hour or so I believe) so you might see it in there later today :)

Well here's hoping they make it account-wide (probably won't, or if they do it'll probably be 30$).

I was there for that event but I must've missed a lot of stuff. I don't remember that minion, outdoor furnishing, or that table top furnishing. :confused:

It will be the same broom as last year (character specific, not account wide after obtaining it)

Takes almost no time to change it from character specific to account-wide since its sent via mail anyway.

I got the broom from the event. Does that mean every character I ever make on my account should always have the broom?

No sorry, your character unlocked it, not your account (in game item that was earned, not something got from entering a code)

Everything from last year being sold as expected except for that CS exclusive minion (witch on broom). Smooth SE, smooth.

The Deluxe Stuffed Succubus? Well, first off, it's a table top item and not a minion. And secondly, it's not cash shop exclusive. They were most definitely available at last years halloween event.

The prices on the Halloween items actually seem pretty reasonable for these items good job SE.

No, but I am disappointed that it is in the MogStation. Getting sick of this cash shop and the insane prices they've been using lately.

$5 for a chair is reasonable?

Why? If you weren't subbed for the month the event happened, then you should have to pay for it. That's the reasoning I see. It's $15/mo to be subbed, so $12 for a Mount that was exclusive to that month is not bad at all.

Also items are worth what people think they're worth. To you, $5 for a chair is ridiculous. To someone with disposable income and a love of Halloween, it's probably just a drop in the bucket.

There is no objectivity for this, it's all based on perspective.

I completely disagree.

Guild Wars 2, which offers no subscription cost, charges their customers for missed content. That makes sense, as that is their business model. I pay a sub, so that way everything is included in the game and missed content / extras are not nickel and dimed in a cash shop. This growing prevalence of the cash shop is, imo, double dipping to their consumers. It's incredibly shady.

While I get what you are saying here, I do find it a bit absurd. Imagine your local electronic store started selling TV's that were $500 for now $10,000. When you complain, they say, well there are some millionaires who pay for this, so it's not really absurd. IMO, that situation is still absurd, and so is $5 for a digital chair.

I was talking overall the items that were added. The chair and wallpaper could better at like $2.50 instead of $5 but for most part the prices are pretty good compared to other items they post with higher price tag.

Ah, I see. I disagree across the board, but am glad that some people are happy with this.

The broom has been my favorite mount for a year, at least for flying.

Your GW2 example seems backwards but that's how they do it I suppose. But subbing should never entitle you to PAST events, otherwise there's little incentive to sub full time.

A brand new player should not have free access to all the events that I've been subbed for and had to be subbed to access.

As for your electronics store example, it's flawed.
1. Manufacturers set the price (MSRP). A store would never charge more than this because of competition.

2. Because of the capitalist environment of other goods, prices will always push towards equilibrium, so prices reach optimal value that most customers deem "worth".

3. Mogstation follows neither of these rules because it's a monopoly, and the store owner IS the manufacturer. So you can't use real world comparisons.

I don't understand why you are taking the electronics store to a literal sense. It was meant as an analogy of price comparison, not something that I suggest could actually happen.

I also don't understand why you feel more entitled to stuff simply because you have been subbed longer. As an aside to that, there are a lot of people I know who have subbed for far less than I have, but happened to be subbed last year (and I happened to have taken a 1-2 month break at this time last year) and so they have the items and I do not. For reference, I am at 720 days subscribed atm.

I suppose this will just be one of those situations where we are at complete odds with each other.

The housing items have a non deluxe type you can buy from the market board. I thought 70k for a chair was better than $5, personally. I don't know if there's visually a difference between them, though.

Deluxe is just the tag they add to identify it as a Mog station item. They're also not tradable.
