$35, really SE?

I expected something like that to be a bit higher to be honest. Haven't logged in today, and I haven't seen more than a couple pictures, but I'm guessing it's a 4 person mount? All in all, I don't think it's too bad price wise when one takes other mogstation additions into account.

Wallet-shaming, that’s a new one! Sounds like you need to get out more. And then you try to undermine my pretty valid points by claiming I have the “luxury of having internet” as if that’s not considered essential in most modern countries nowadays. Good luck finding a job or functioning well in the west without the internet, it’s such a “luxury” like that. Since when did I even say one I wanted it for free or to strongarm them? As you said, this is a LUXURIOUS SUB game, so damn right I expect it to be part of the base game or event they JUST added, even going to far as to rail against a greedy capitalist character and him changing his ways. How is it FREE when we pay a damn sub every month? Keep licking those boots, you’re a natural!

There's a f*ckload of mounts already in the game for you to obtain without paying any extra in their cash shop. We got a new mount from the new Beast Tribe, a new mount from the Youkai Watch event (3 for the people who never did it before), a new mount from the latest extreme trial, and for sure we'll get more mounts from the next part of Ishgardian restoration and The Bozjan Southern Front. YET, somehow, people always forget about all this when anything new is added in the store (especially when it's a mount). Hell, mounts are even meaningless in this game; You don't need them to travel to raids or dungeons, since everything is done via Duty/Raid/Party Finder; You don't need them to travel since there's always a pretty convenient location to teleport to, and maps aren't exactly super big; Plus, all of them has the same f*cking speed. Why get so mad about this?

I wish they also gave this as a veteran reward. If new players want this mount they can pay the $35. For veterans, we havent been given anything for a long time. I would even be willing to spend achievement currency on this.

It is an irony that salty people cringe about a vanity mount after they just gave us a dwarf tank that beat all current cash shop mount and a dance move that beat all current cash shop emote.
Salt..... salt every where....
Any one with take some salt home? We got plenty in this thread!!

If they add it as a Veteran Reward then people will get mad because they shouldn't wait whatever amount of time to get said mount, since having a few hours in the game gives them the right to get the same reward as the people who have years playing. I mean, that's why they removed most of the stuff from VR in the first place

Yes and no.

they've already said it would be hard and couldn't do it (at the time.) the cash shop team, whom had more time on their hands, made it possible.

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.

People are still complaining about mount prices? You know, these aren't necessities. I'm actually shocked we got the bees knees dance for free considering how wanted it was and they could've made a fortune from selling it.

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.

It's kind of sad we've gotten to a point where we're shocked and surprised when something is "free" rather than Mogstation.
