    of course it would be nice to have as an in game award, but im not upset that it's cash shop. some people are taking this a bit too far.
    So you agree? lol.

    yes and no. I mean I also said that though, that with the help of the cash shop we'd get more stuff.

    I'm not frothing if that's the apperance, just saying if players /really/ wanted it then there are opportunties where even the normal dev team would get time to work on it.

    "What do you want to see?"

    "Carriage!"

    "We don't have time to make that work"

    2 years later

    "Hey we're doing this MSQ scene and we can use a carriage, if I model it we can give it to players as the MSQ mount, what do you think Yoshi?"

    "Oh they've been asking for that for years, just do it".

    Of course you'll get more faster if you allow the cash shop to influence lol, but I don't agree with you that we "wouldn't" or "couldn't" get it any other means but the cash shop.

    Perhaps I'm honestly being a bit pedantic XD, but felt to say that no.. we 'could have' but it likely would have taken a while and also caused the main dev team to go out of their way to do it. Because it exists you can use it as a crutch for certain concepts but that's what I was trying to point out, main team can be like eeehhh 'they can do it' but if the mogshop didn't exist (well first we'd get less content lol) but second then the dev team couldn't say that and so it would be entirely possible to get through the main team. Not an argument to burn the shop down, just that, at least if it's content from within the game, that there is definitely a 'could'. You said couldn't I think that's way too firm and assertive, I'm saying could but unlikely or at least requires a lot of time.
