SE please expand upon the cash shop.

Sakuraluna you basically contradicted yourself. It's not a FTP setup because there is a sub and there isn't a hugely massive grind wall for the mounts either as so many people including yourself have already pointed out. People could just get the mounts quicker while providing extra money to SE to improve the game with. It doesn't really effect players like you in any way. No one is asking for in game drop rates to be decreased in conjunction with the mounts being added to the cash shop.

You dont seem to get it. Let me break it down.

They wouldnt be lowering the drop rate on the ponies, no. Those are set and would stay the same. However once the ponies are added to the mogstation, if they actually sell, that opens the door for ALL future primal mounts to be added to the mog station. Primal mounts who'se drop rate hasnt even been decided yet.

Now.. when square enix designs the content, they'll have the ponies in mind. They'll know that they shoved them in the cash shop, and people bought them. But the drop rates were good, so not enough people bought them. So they'll need to use what they learned with the ponies, to ensure that future primal mounts get purchased from the mog station more often. And the best way to push people into buying them on the mogstation, is to make it really hard to get in game.

I mean hell, look at you... The ponies are super duper easy to get and take little time, but you're too lazy to put in the work. Imagine if they released new primal mounts that took months or a year of grinding to get. That'd push even more people to purchase them rather then spend the time grinding them. And you can bet, that's what they'll do.

The people are against this because it sets a precedent. It opens the door for them to make things in the future harder to get in game, so that people will spend the money on them rather than grind it out in game. It's the exact same thing free to play games do that offer things in their cash shop that you can get in game.

If they are added to the store, the drop rate is entirely academic. Next to no one will run old EX trials for ponies if they can get them on the MogStation
