Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Well if it was a Savage reward, it would've been there since HW... And Ultimate for Alexander's been out already for a while so wasn't gonna be added in there retroactively I guess...

As for why Mogstation? I would guess because it's a 2 seater. Square seems to be really afraid of letting people have multiple seated mounts for free.

LMAO what? Theres loads of multiple seater mounts for free.

The reason I see this as bad is because Cruise Chaser is assets from the game, made by the dev team.

A long held stance for cash shops enthusiasts is, "Stuff made for the cash shop is made by the cash shop teams, so it doesn't affect development time, and the dev team is not involved!"

Well, would you look at that. The dev team is involved. Granted, it's an old raid monster, but really, it has an 8 man rideable animation which actually has all 8 people ride it in its fight. It actually repositions them, so it already had all of the data to be a mount.

So what other really cool rideable bosses or monsters are they going to throw behind a $30 pay wall in the future? How much more content in the future is going to simultaneously be in the game while also being planned out to be in the cash shop? How much more past content is going to suddenly become available now, but only within the confines of the cash shop purchase?

I ask this as someone who has made purchases from the cash shop when I really couldn't resist having something, because I knew they would never add it in otherwise. I sought solace in that claim that the dev team wouldn't be involved in making things for the cash shop, but here we are.

It sets a bad precedent.

I think you are a little late for this

And wasn't Sleipnir like one of the very first items on the shop as well?

Yeah, I don't care about the mount at all and wouldn't use it even if they gave it away for free, but I'll throw my voice in here anyway because I know this one in particular does mean a lot to a lot of people. It shouldn't be in the cash shop. It should be available in game. There really is no justification at all for only having it in the cash shop except for blatant greed.

Well, think what you want since that is also subjective. BUT i can now ride on a cool mecha and you don't. Or maybe you can too but then you are as bad as me.

A monster who supports a company that brought them joy and tears for years and years to come. And if you don't want to do that, it's totally alright. I just go now and flex with my cool mount and you can do...uh...whatever you do! Have a nice one!

You think paying subs and getting EW aren't enough of a support?
As I said they can put any other mount in the game if people want to support the dev, but Cruise Chaser is a bad choice.
But I don't think you will understand because:
You didn't progging A11S for weeks or even months.
You didn't do Rival Wings.
Consider that and maybe you can understand, which I highly doubt.
And that's your problem. I said enough.

I...... want the mount....... who doesnt....... even at worst for the music....... but....... 30 dollar..... i am farming murder death fates in bozjan for months to get that motorcycle.......this kinda sadden me..... but congratz for everyone who own it, its a cool mount..... very cool

[Lily_Skye]

Why is it not from a Savage raid or an in-game reward instead?

This is not meant to be a Mogstation evil thread but just trying to see reasons for it being in the Mogstation vs earning it in-game.
