New Mogstation Items (Magitek mount recolours inc.)

[Millerna]

White magitek obtained..

I have no problem paying $12 for it, it's worth it to me. I wouldn't have time for the inevitable grind if they added it in-game. That said, having it both on the cash shop, and as an in-game grind would obviously be a more optimal solution, but oh well.

... that's still 3 quarters of a million on something that took them 5 minutes of tinkering with development tools. They're releasing mounts because they're very profitable and for minimal amounts of work, should they be obtainable in game? Yes (as long as it isn't something absurd like 1m MGP), but will they? No, not from what I've seen. But all the new mount models (other than Sleipnir) have been released in game, SE hasn't crossed the line quite yet.

Okay. I've been gone from the game a good while, but..... when did they start letting people who make sense on the forums? Surely you will be hunted down by the moderators and made to suffer for this.

On a second note. As I said, I've been gone from the game a while, and it's crap like this cash shop that makes me want to abandon it again. Get your collective head, out of your rear SE.

To be honest... I don't like those color. Gold one still FTW for me

Twelve monetary compensation.

Would it be better if the mount was an exclusive model? Would you pay $12 for the pegasus, and it was never available in game?

I am honestly ok with the recolors because I can safely ignore them. If you think they are too expensive then they probably are, and you can avoid them, while having a recolur (black or golden) in game for free.

I find it much better this way.

At this point, I'm actually expecting achievement rewards to disappear from the game entirely. (Titles are well on the way already.) "You can buy it in the cash shop! Completely optional!"
Please look forward to it!©®™

*Insert post of someone then saying they are happy they purchased their $200 title and you shouldn't complain because it's optional*

Always one.

The mount with Steel Reason on the theme song is so awesome. I love that track and I didn't hesitate to buy Livia's mount XD.

Garlean equipment soon.
2-3 cash shop additions per each patch soon? (we are already at 2 with 3.1)

Oh come on, this is just what players actually wanted - players have been requesting Livia and Nero's personal custom-painted magitek armour since ARR's launch so now they've finally delivered what has been requested. Must there always be a whine session whenever something is added to the Mogstation that has been requested? SE are after all, only doing what players want.

It's the price and the fact that they're single character only that I think most people are complaining.

Nothing would be wrong with paying $10-$12 for this if it was accountwide, but it isn't. $12 for a recolored mount is pretty exorbitant, especially considering that it's a single character item. I mean, the cash shop items have been creeping up in price a bit recently. The Scion outfits are pretty outrageously expensive, especially considering that outside of the aether goggles and like one or two markings, all the Scions but Minfilia can be accurately recreated with in-game crafted gear.

Recoloring the Magitek mount and slapping Steel Reason on it and saying "It's $12 but that's a discount because its only for a single character" is terrible. I support the cash shop, I support SE making money - but I don't support them screwing over their dedicated players in this manner. It's insulting.
