Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

x.

Well I'm not against fantasia nor against server transfer, recolours, and seasonal items so yes, nothing against making money through these services. All these things give money. Is SE broken?

[Skivvy]

I have heard of such a thing (thank you Buzzfeed), but never have I encountered someone who actually ate it. I put it alongside circus peanuts, vegemite, and balut in the list of things I know that people eat and enjoy but there was no way I would.

Now Toast + Peanut Butter + just cooked Bacon? Food o' the gods!

I don't eat bacon, so it will be up to you to carry that torch! I've also never run into another person who partakes in the goodness that is PB&M toast. Perhaps that will be the sign of my soulmate




Currently regretting my decision to google balut.

Fair enough. Marshmallow fluff then. Though it's weirdly not available everywhere in the states. I'm not sure why the makers of this fine product would deny people of it's goodness, but who knows?

Currently regretting my decision to google balut.

Our network engineer at my last job admitted to enjoying it, but his kids and wife did not. It's gotta be an acquired taste and texture. I've never seen it on the menus of any of the filipino or vietnamese places I've been to. I suspect it's a secret menu item.

I am sorry for the condescending tone. It wasn't intentional, but nonetheless I apologize. I intended my last post to convey that I agree with you to an extent: the claims are not completely baseless. And having read this reply, I went back and read the statement you quoted in context and it does seem too broad. That said, I agree my argument only works if we know who Saga was addressing from the beginning. What I've been trying to do is point out that the speculative assertions and general opinions are not the same thing. I made the mistake of assuming you considered them one in the same, and that you were saying arguing a point = invalidating an opinion.

Maybe we should just not answer people that try to start a flame war? He can have his opinion about it and I also answered him but maybe it would be better to go over it and let him be? The last I think three pages were nothing more than pickering between each other which is sad and I don't want this thread to be closed. (Still not sure how someone worked on company x but wrote quite some bad things about it..but whatever)

Its okay for me if someone would buy every single mogstation item, I can even understand them, since its hard to not just buy something that you really want and I bought things too. But at the same time I still find it sad that its now the second (or even third) unique mount that was released in the CS from a total of 5 (or 6 if you take the wedding mount into that count which is also unique). And than putting such a price tag on it. I mean it would be kinda interesting to know how many people (IMO probably only one) and how many working hours were put into creating it. Now take that expense and you probably wont even need to sell 5 of them to get the cost back. So why such a high price?

In my opinion (no facts :P): 5€ per mount would be enough and at least way more reasonable. They still get the monthly sub from us, so they should not need the mogstation to survive (unlike other games like Black desert..) and people are probably way more comfortable to spend this price on a digital product (that will be gone as soon as FF14 stops) so maybe you would even get more income from it than for that price?

I mean I have no problem buying the plush carbuncle for that price because its a real product that needs to be produced every single time but you only need to create a digital product one time.

In the end I would like to have no cash shop but since I know that it will stay here I at least hope that they decrease those prices and that they will not include more unique goods in there. At least give your players the chance to earn another version ingame and if the price is right, someone like me would buy both versions just because I love collecting mounts. But I wont buy it with such a price tag.

And it would be nice if we truly see a positive change in the game thanks to this. Maybe even more content on top of the already existing one. But instead of being able to produce things like Dead Dungeon next to three dungeons per patch, we get two dungeons and one new thing. So sadly I just cant see that this makes the game better.

The amount of self-entitlement and nothing but wild speculation from the anti-mooglestation side is unbearable.
Your entire arguments are nothing but wild guesses and negative, baseless conclusions on what you think that is actually happening within closed doors.

You have no data, no evidence, you have absolutely nothing that proves that the game is worse off due to the inclusion of the mogstation items and again, you have absolutely no proof whatsoever that the items would have made it into the game if the devs could not have monetized them.
Your entire complaints are based on imaginary offenses that may or may not be actually happening.


And while it is true that we cannot prove that mogstation does not affect the game whatsoever either, do remember that the burden of proof falls on you, because you are the ones complaining about it and making claims.

Still saying we make speculation and it is bad when you wont proove anything either.....

A game studio has different teams assigned to different tasks.

The devs/progs that create Optional items may not even be the same people that work on game content and regular updates
You are assuming that creating optional content means less time or manpower creating the rest of content, but they may not even be related to each other and the optional item devs may not even be hired if there was no profit to be made.
Because then, a number of people who have purchased the item may have chosen to get it ingame instead, thus resulting in a loss of profits for the devs.
Not only that, but the effort and time required to obtain the item would have to be difficult and lenghty to justify it being free vs25$ , which would probably stll leave a segment of players without it.

I could be wrong saying my sub money goes to the creation of items for the CS, so could you, saying the opposite so....proove it please ?
Othewise, you are just like us, making speculation, welcom aboard \o/

the mount looks....I don't know. there's something about it that creeps me out. Maybe if they made it look more like moglin, instead of a....tubby....horror film...i'd consider buying it.

Yeah, after seeing it close ... it looks like some type of undulating larva/ termite queen

[Miyha]

I think it's adorable.

That cost tho ;; If I had to money I'd get it. But $30 for an in-game item is a bit steep for me atm.

I said i would not post again but i could not help it when i continue to be dishonestly addressed.

1) You quoted an old post instead of my most recent one, where i better explain what i meant.
Did you do that on purpose, so that you could make an argument out of something that has already been addressed?

2) I have said it myself (heck, it´s even in the first post you quoted) that i am in the same boat as you, and yet you repeat something i have said myself, as if it was an argument against me.
I have never said that i know any more than you guys do, i have said that precisely because none of us know, making statements pretending to know how this subject affects the game is invalid and ridiculous.

I have explained this so many times, that the only reason why you guys would misquote me once again just to make an argument out of it, is that you are doing it on purpose.

Also, i find it kinda sad that the same ol ´people upvote any comment made against me, simply because it is against me, even when said comment is clearly wrong.
This smells of high-school recess.
