Once again, this all boils down to you being upset that you have to spend more money for something you want. Unfortunately sometimes you have to do that and no amount of foot stomping is going to change SE - or any company for that matter. Enjoy the game as it is - a game. You don't have to have everything.
Yep putting my hands over my eyes and going "lalalalala" whenever I hear a mount whistle totally makes it so that the mog station isn't being rubbed in my face! 100% completely ignored! It's like there isn't over $1000 worth of content gated away from me!
I can also just color my chocobo blue and name it "carbuncle" for my carbuncle themed character and FC and House and... Wait... no... that's not how that works at all...

And yes "this boils down" to me being angry that once again my gameplay experience is valued less than someone who could play this game on a spreadsheet and have fun. I'd like to see you restrict yourself to "base game" level 50 content and try to have fun while everyone else has fun with the full game around you. 'Cause no amount of fussing over my opinion is going to stop me from, sometime in the future, determining that this game costs more than its worth.
