$35, really SE?

Oh SE, making the new event quest about how people should not follow the money and that there is something more important than getting rich and at the same time releasing the most expensive mog station item on the exact same time which could have easily been a quest reward....

You're really just setting yourself up for disappointment here. People have been saying they could make any and every one of these unique mounts a quest reward; from the Carbuncles to the Spriggan. They aren't going to. Even if they did eventually want to put a unique mount like this into the game, you certainly wouldn't be getting it for a fifteen minute quest but through a lengthily grind you otherwise wouldn't want to partake in. Case in point, Astrope. The whole idea being to incentivize content.

At this stage, SE is well aware of people's divisive opinions on the Mogstation. They either don't care and/or said opinions aren't enough to offset how many people are either indifferent or willing to purchase whatever item tickles their fancy. Either way, it isn't going to change and we'll be right back here the next time they release a new mount and people pitch a fit over it.
