Twitch Snowman Mount

This is just beyond stupid. Gatekeeping mounts behind Twitch rewards, where the F is the logic in that? Particularly since it's just a stupid recolor of an old mount that's already available on the Mogstation. I just don't see the reasoning behind this.

What do you get for doing the Starlight Celebration this year? Just a freaking Chocobo Barding, and a couple of Housing items, they could've put the mount among the in-game rewards, but no they're putting it behind a stupid streamer reward. That's just the dumbest shit ever!

They really need to stop with these type of exterior "rewards".

as you said it's just a recolor, they would get flak for reusing the snowman and called lazy lol
it's dumb, and if they wanted to keep it a twitch event I would've preferred what they did with the butterfinger mount so that you could earn it from watching someone stream rather than buying subscriptions or w/e it ended up being

I would understand if the Twitch campaign started when FRU was released because the world-first race but starting the campaign 2-weeks later? ಠ_ರೃ ~?

People sub anyway to streamers during this time. It was specifically chosen at a time when people would not be watching as often to boost sub/view count artificially.

It's optional. You don't need to own everything.
Honestly, I personally can't stand FFXIV streamers so I just accept I can't have this mount.

its 15 dollars for a holiday specific collab mount thats out of season 11 months out of the year. just skip it.

Would you rather that they gatekeep something unique and desirable this way?

twitch rewards would be fine if it was watch time like with the chocopokurr a few months ago
but subs? hell no

Skipping this one.

It's nice that they chose to color it twitch purple to match, but it really takes away from the festive feel of the mount. I'll stick with the original one for the holiday season, thanks.

if its a recolour of an already existing mount... who cares? I already have a stack of mounts that I never use, getting another recolour isnt all that important in the greater scheme of things. if it was a new totally unique mount, you might have a point, but this just seems like un-needed outrage.

At least this promotion is easily accessible for everyone around the world, as compared to their previous external promotions like the Gong Cha one.

Really uninteresting mount in my opinion.

This Twitch event would be very cool if the 'thing to get' would be for example an interesting coffer of account -wide glamour or at least a new 'interesting' mount. This recolor does not even look good.

And in my personal opinion mount rewards get more and more boring the longer you play ffxiv. You collect more and more mounts, but you barely even see them during your gameplay. :x
So meanwhile my state is: Oh..., another mount I won't see, even if I own it. No thanks.

This.
I took the time to do the chocopokurr because we didn’t have the operation with the chocolate bars in Europe back then.
I’ll skip the snowman for the same reason, I’m not buying subs.

I love collecting mounts and wish this was obtained by viewing streams but whatever, you can't have anything. It's a nice bonus to people promoting the game. I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

"Its just a dumb mount, I don't care!"
*Proceeded to care and git mad*

I'm sorry your poor.
Just don't be poor.

Yeah. I was kinda excited about another watch time mount when I saw the news, only to read and find out it's paid.

I mean I'm just helping out my favorite FFXIV streamer so it's win-win for me. If it's a mount you want, it's cheaper than most Mog Station mounts (and you'd be helping out a streamer of your choice). If you don't want it, why be angry about it? Tis the season to be merry and giving after all.
