I respectfully disagree with you.

It should be an achievement for completing Snowcloak 500 times in the Duty Finder, NOT a purchasable item with real world money.

While the means of attaining the mount can be up in the air, honestly I could really care less HOW we get it just that its a mount in game. But if I did have an opinion I dont think clearing snowcloak 500 times is exactly an achievement to do it 500 times is just tedium. The tank mounts are more or less reinforcing a service to players that play the least played role.

I don't think any more exclusive items for cash should be added to the game at all!
Make everything obtainable in game.
We already pay for this game a monthly fee, so all items should be obtainable ingame and not for extra cash!

FFXIV is not a free to play trash like TERA, the "cash for items" shop needs to get eliminated!

I really don't understand how can some people be that big of suckers that they actually pay extra cash for items that should be in the game for achievement or Gil!
The bad thing about this is that these people slowly turn a great game into trash because as long as people give extra money to Square-Enix they won't stop and add even more stuff to the cash shop slowly but surely ruining a great MMORPG!

Were not talking about pay to play where Im buying lvls or buying gil, were talking about pay to accessorize. Paying for a mount wont make me a better player then someone who chooses not to. It gives me the choice to spend money on something stupid purely because I want to and because that thing Im spending money on costs money for the devs to make. No need to turn something innocent like my request into some political debate because you think you deserve more for your sub fees. Especially when the little that square has offered us on the shop is by far the least of any other game out there.

How about no.

If there will be new mounts, make then obtainable in game; through a new achievement, a new dungeon, prize at gold saucer, prize through new side quest, I don't care, just not through cash shop.

Stop the cash shop snowball before it becomes a cash shop avalanche.

This is a fine idea, disregard the nonsense replies (they're kind of a pain to deal with on this forum).

Some cash shops that have cosmetic/vanity stuff usually have it so people can get them ingame if they are willing to spend the time for it. While those with less time can get them with real cash. It's a way to appease as many as possible.
I've seen to many posts during my MMO days where people that dont have much time to play gets "Deal with it" comments from the community because they feel left out.

I for one approve a cash shop which gives people a choice. But I dont approve a cash shop that sell exclusive cash shop items. Or cash shop items that give an advantage over non-cash shop items.

It is a slippery slope- it is in the best interest of us all, to have them achievable in-game only.

My opinions on the cash shop aside. Several studies have been done on risk/reward on a scientific level regarding competition, and all have shown that when competitors are provided a reward for an action that involved little to no risk, then the desire to continue doing that low-risk action and receive the reward is greatly diminished over time. How this translates to our game, is if people can just buy vanity and mounts, without needing to grind them out or compete in game actions again and again to receive them, their interest in the game will diminish more quickly, which will manifest as players leaving the game due to boredom more often.

Think about if they put the EX primal "ponies" in the cash shop, all those PF parties we see grinding them out would cease almost immediately, people would buy the mount at the Mog Station, get bored in 2 weeks and stop logging in (obviously this is an example and not a bullet-proof one at that, so bear with me, as it excludes your personal experiences and opinions).

Having these things in the game and in the game alone will make the game appear more active and will cause players to stay logged in for longer and doing more things in the world which is an added benefit for all players on the server.
