Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

[BluexBird]

After thinking about it a bit, I've come to a realization that the main reason people are upset might be because this is being locked behind the Mogstation, with no way to get it aside from paying real money for it. AND that this would be fine were this not a subscription-based game. We pay 12-15 bucks every month and still they ask us for more money.

And then it hit me - what if they made it so that every 3 months you are subscribed to the game, you are rewarded with a couple of points which you can use to obtain items inside the Mogstation? So the Carbuncle mount for example could be obtained after being subscribed for 6 months. I think this would definitely go a long way to calm people who are unhappy with this system.

Can we have lootboxes now?

Come now, I know you're just being sarcastic, but please don't give them ideas.

Cash shop is helping the game.

Im not sure about this any more. I get more and more the feeling, that Mog Station (FFXIV at all) is helping other SE projects. Still hope im wrong.

Edit:
I dont need Mounts for the short way between FC-House and market board!

Alot of F2P mmorpg already do this, you earn cash shop points every week/month, but I dont think SE will do this. They know that people are willing to buy it, so why give the players the option to get the item for free? Its the same with retainers, before Stormblood when people were in need for more inventory, SE could have given us a free retainer, but they knew that people wanted more inventory space and are willing to rent the retainers.

I mean think about this, SE knew that there was a need and they had the solution, but instead they have decided to monetize on the needs of the players.

As for me, I wont be buying it right now, maybe when there is a sale, but I do have to agree with some of the players that both the Carbuncle outfit and mount could have been part of some content. Maybe something like relics, takes a long time to finish, but the reward is worth it?

[Raim]

Its way too much as it is. I was expecting some kind of bundle with the outfit and mount. Wouldn't have bought it anyway, but I think were going down the wrong direction with this.

And our subs doesn't? Why are we paying a subs if there's a cash shop? Yeah its optional, but its still gay to have those ridiculous price when it should be half of that, cause no ITEMS should be over 12.99$ which is the lowest sub price, a stupid mount isn't worth more than 1 month of this game.,


But hey, i guess im not one those cash whales that the industries love so much huh?

[Awha]

Lol why would anyone expect a popular item like a carby mount be handed out for free when they have an cash shop? Especially after we just got an event mount ingame. Sure people can be salty that is cool, but I hope people did not expect such an item to be obtainable outside the cash shop. Also an item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, being as the mounts are $25 and they have not changed their pricing model must mean the amount of items they are selling are in line with SE expectations. If they were under performing they properly would have lower the price. What people should be saying is that the item is not worth it to them that is more reasonable.

[Miksu]

I don't care.

Holla at ya boy.

[Rokke]

got a mount cause Im powerless to carbies orz

Disappointing that they're in the cash shop and not for an event or a drop somewhere.

I much rather they be in the cash shop instead of being locked behind a Feast season, 3000 S Ranks, or 2000 Mentor Roulettes.
