New Mogstation Items (Magitek mount recolours inc.)

[Enkidoh]

We all pay for this game already. Nothing in the game is free. This is double-dipping. Stop being an apologist. SE isn't going to send you a Christmas card for white-knighting them.

Yet like it or not paid extras are a fact of the game industry nowadays - regardless of whether a game requires a subscription or not. DLC is a part of gaming for better or for worse.

And yes I am proud to be a white knight, I'm a PLD after all.

feels like an F2P game.
which is weird, because I haven't spend a dime in those games lols.
sigh....

[Dualblade]

Ooooh nice! New Mounts!
Where can i get them inGame in this subscription based MMO?

As soon as you can get people not to buy them. SE is a buisness, if they feel they can make more doing it this way they WILL do it this way.

A time has showed us again and again, protesting against something is absolutely useless.

Wait what? Protesting is useless?

Little do you know that me refusing to purchase from their cash shop does actually have an effect, it deprives them of access to my money.

All they do everytime they expand the cash shop is further distance me from believing they are providing me with real value for my subscription and one day it may lead to them not having my subscription at all.

Sadly the "useless" part of protesting is when people don't care and think they don't matter it's like the guy who doesn't vote saying his vote wouldn't change anything anyways.

[Interstella]

Ah it's a shame they are in the Mogstation, especially at the price they are at.

I think it would have been nice to see them as achievement rewards for certain milestones (gold @500 > red @3000 instead of the Fat Chocobo with a tiny crown > white @5000 or something like that)

I think it would have been better to add the Fat Chocobo into the Gold Saucer.

I'll probably buy the White Magitek mount due to wanting it for quite sometime, but $12 for a simple recolour SE (a preexisting recolour nonetheless?), heh...

You're complaining about the price but you'll buy it anyway, not really seeing the issue here?
Are most Final Fantasy XIV players tsundere or something?
"Hmph! $12!? That's too pricey, b-but I'll buy it anyway, please look forward to my payment....baka"

Unless you can somehow get the majority to side with your opinion and stop purchasing from the Mogstation, yes, protesting is useless. I'm assuming you and every other protestor hasn't bought a single thing from the Mogstation, including retainers, correct? How far has that convinced SE to change it's way with it? Not at all, once the protestors leave, they'll start throwing more items on the Mogstation to gouge existing players further, but as long as it stays items that aren't completely new, I'll remain. The day I see more than a few entirely new items on the Mogstation is the day I quit the game, or earlier if I start to dislike it of course.

I thought my GPU was a tad expensive, but I bought it regardless due to being able to afford it, I think TVs are unnecessary expensive, and yet they sell in the millions and I'm one who purchases them, I think food can be a tad expensive too at times, and yet I still buy it. Have you never thought something was more expensive than it should be but bought it? Unlikely, but who knows. Regardless, I'm not saying it's "Outrageously expensive" just more expensive than it should be.

[Aquaslash]

also to be noted they play 'steel reason' when you ride them,

That was all I needed to know and now they're getting bought.

Yes, I AM the cancer ._.

[MidianKurono]

$12 eh? That's not too bad considering I'll be opening my wallet to get 4 of them. (Both for myself and my wife). I'd rather have the option of a number of colours like maybe a bright pink magitek armour buuuut what can you do? S.E is just lucky that I can afford to keep throwing money at my screen!

Yeah some of us call it a subscription fee that we pay monthly.

Subscription fee only gives you the right to access the servers and play, it does not give you the right to every piece of item/gear/etc. Just because you buy a #1 combo from Mcdonald's doesn't mean you get the large fry and large drink along with it. you get to pay extra, otherwise you get a smaller version.
