Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

[jameseoakes]

What makes it the worst patch yet? That's completely subjective in itself.
.

It's the most content light patch I've ever seen, and I don't think I've ever had this little to do in game and it's pretty rare my friends are around. This patch had some really nice bit of content but nothing padding it out.

Well we've just had the worst patch the game has ever seen and now they make stuff purely for the cash shop while slashing the in game glamour items. These things cost more than my sub it's getting crazy

Uh, 3.1 wants to have a word with you about that. And slashing the glamour items? We literally just had a Christmas mount. You're assuming the Carbuncle mount was going to be free originally but SE decided to abruptly charge money. That isn't the case. It was always designed with the cash shop in mind. They wouldn't have made at all if they weren't going to make a profit. Regardless, a mount has absolutely nothing to do with a weak patch.

This is an opinion. You think it’s “the worst patch the game has ever seen”; others would probably argue that 3.1 was the worst. Subjective; opinion, not fact. 4.1 is weak, yes, but whether or not it’s “the worst patch” is a subjective matter.

That being said, if you are so disgusted by the Carbuncle Mounts, no one is forcing you to buy them, and it won’t make or break your game to own them or not own them. It’s not at all surprising that they were made for sale outside of the game—if it hadn’t been the cash shop, it would have been tied to external merchandise/apparel.

And to whoever said the outfits are P2W because they have stats on them: yes, those outfits are really going to help me win in this game’s hardest content ever: Sastasha. Because anyone wearing that gear above level 15 are doing nothing but gimping themselves, so they won’t be “winning” anything.

Thanks SE for giving us those really beautiful mounts. Me and everyone in my linkshells loves them

And to all those complainers: Stop whining :P

[Laerune]

Like how the mount looks, but it looks silly on races that are taller then Lalafell.

not sure why you are so salty Blue

In a way, I kind of am salty, but for more complicated reasons. I'm definitely not salty about the new Carbuncle mount, but I wish people would stop complaining about it. My point is that it's pointless. People complain about having to pay for the mount, when the reality is that, were they to get it:

1. They most likely won't use it as much as they think. With some probably even forgetting that they got it after a single week. I've seen this happen with people who farmed the PvP horse and the Phoenix mount.
2. A lot of people are going to have it. Even if you ARE planning to use it all the time, wouldn't it feel kinda lame being in the same mount as everyone else? Wouldn't you rather be original? This is why I used Ixion as an example earlier.
3. This game doesn't have any worthwhile open-world content, and you can't use mounts in cities. Ask yourself if it's really worth getting a mount you will probably only ever use inside housing maps. lol

As for the main reason I'm salty, read my earlier post when I compared this game to GW2. I'm salty because we could be getting a lot more, but we don't.

Carby mounts and outfit are cute and all but that emote is not worth $7 :V

O rly?

They are a paying customer, just like you and me. If they do not like something that the developers are doing, they have the same exact rights to give feedback. Their feedback is just as valuable as yours or mine.

My feedback? Meh, I expected the mounts and outfits to be MogStation or attached to merchandise. They aren’t worth the asking price to me so I will wait for a sale and get them then. I will buy the emote though. I think $5 is a good price for an emote, but I really like this one so I’ll pay $7 for it.

To everyone, if you like a decision or not, you have the same rights to give feedback as everyone else. Don’t let the pro or con camp bully you into silence.

Not going to lie,

As someone who has subbed consistently since 2.0, so many items in the cash shop in a game with a monthly fee is REALLY starting to get annoying. ESPECIALLY recolors of the same items. The game is dead atm and it seems like a slap in the face to release these things via the Mogstation.

[Derio]

Cash shop is helping the game.

Me, I am just waiting for an Infrit mount
