New Mog Station Mounts

[Laerad3993]

Who said anything about scrapping? Maybe I'm not being clear.

I'm saying I'd rather win a griffin than fork over my cash for it. That's not an adventure. That's not a quest with a fabulous reward. That's a stale, grey, joyless transaction.

Then how would you have them implement it? So far, we've had multiple great mounts get gated via: 200k-1m MGP. Multiple RAF that costs as I stated previously more than double what it would to just buy it(if you don't have the friends), and at the beginning, ridiculous drop rates and fighting with 7 other players for a CHANCE at the mount.

Maybe people want to spend the money because the developers do a terrible job executing the ways of obtaining said things.

I mean, I love grinding and farming, but not the way they implemented Fenrir and the Adamantoise.

I'm not Gramul but, the Primal mounts could have been handled based on achievement rewards on the number of clears (10-100?). Fenrir could have dropped from Snowcloak, Adamantoise possibly from completing a lot of guildhests. The GS was new though, they needed to give people reason to grind or enter the cactpot. Adamantoise can now be obtained in a matter of months just doing the mini cactpot with moderate luck (far less with great luck). I like Gramul's point, winning the roll on the Ifrit mount literally made my day, as opposed to paying close to 30 AUD which would left me with a feeling of regret after I stopped using it in a week or two.

1. By having a straight money transaction as an option rather than a requirement, allowing for a heavy grind as an alternative. Because yes. I really would rather grind than pay 20 bucks for an immaterial chocobo replacement.
2. Adding actual interesting side quests where you unlock these mounts.
3. If you really must charge for extra in your P2P MMO with additional charges already sprinkled on top. Why not charge for mini expansion arcs with these mounts as the prize? It would certainly be far more worth the staggering cost.

In other words, not do a terrible job executing the ways of obtaining said things.

SE is out to make cash like everyone in the world why is that so bad? no one here is asking for stuff that is game killing no one here is asking for everything to be paid for by a cash shop but if SE want's to toss something in it every now and then they can do so. And fans can ask for things yes? i mean everyone pays to play this game so just as some ppl in here say since they pay they don't want stuff in the shop others who pay as well can ask for things to be added.

Because some people seem to be so eager to immediately hand over their wallets without question or hesitation. We're already being charged for this game. We're already being charged for the subscription. We're already being charged for extra retainers. We're already being charged for Name and Race changes. We're already being charged for expansion and their special edition upgrades. We're already being charged for server transfers. Why bow into more of that?

Like I said, if they must charge, they could at least make it interesting or have a heavy in game grind to achieve it. It's a videogame. I like to win things from playing videogames. I honestly don't care if they have a cash shop for the impatient, but at least have a remotely interesting in game option to achieve it.

You remember hen you unlocked some extra skins and costumes in old games right? Wasn't that fun? Wasn't that an interesting incentive to complete challenges? Why just replace that with a dull transaction?
