Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[KizuyaKatogami]

People are giving criticisms on something, i don’t really see it as whining. Ironically the whining seems to be coming more from the crowd that disagrees with people lol. Irregardless though, my stance on it is this. We’ve already seen a decline in content this expansion, whether it be watered down events or what have you. This mount could’ve been added to something free like the make it rain event or rival wings easily, and it would’ve made people happy. I don’t think i need to remind people they decided to take veteran rewards away from us. I find it hard to believe that all the money from mogstation goes towards the game. If that was the case with each adjusting we should be seeing an improvement in the game content wise yet a majority of nothing had changed. Still have undyable mogstation items, housing is still a mess, servers are still unstable etc etc. Would it really have killed them to make this mount free, knowing how popular it was and how much it means to the community? On the other hand, a lot of people complaining about it being on the mogstation probably wouldn’t even use the mount. I know i wouldnt. I can see both sides of the argument but honestly it really shouldn’t even be a thing. They should’ve just implemented it in game, bam done. They’ve already introduced numerous mounts this expansion alone on the mogstation. Giving us a unique ingame boss mount free instead of giving us yet another reskinned event mount would’ve been nice.

The funnier joke is next month we get a 4-seater mount that is free as part of an event.

Yea, this is totally a cash grab moment.

And by all precedent, they could have sent that mount straight to the mogstation by now, but instead, we get a chance to get it for free in game again.

It sucks they could revive pvp for a bit with this mount, content like rival wings what a shame. Going to wait for a sale for this one.

They've already locked raid mounts behind pvp. I'd rather they stop doing that.


Unless we start getting pvp mounts in raids.

Wow, that's definitely a sane, logical, and - above all else - grounded comparison.

Well, now that you've identified the problem, I guess the only answer is to get the video game equivalent of a restraining order and unsub in a rage.

Already beat you to it.

It is sane. It's called an analogy.

The market is there. I don't understand people who get in a huff about SE doing what any other business would do and exploit it.

Also... get a job. Get any job. These things just aren't that expensive. And don't tell me it's principle of the thing - you know what SE hasn't done? Raise subscription costs to be commensurate with inflation.

Get a job ? you think this is a free game or what ? most people who are playing this game have a job. Next time think before posting ....

You know what else was optional? Blizzard's cash shop. Look how that turned out.

Just going to point out that people have been doom and glooming xivs since it released almost 7 years ago. There hasn't been any uptick in the number of mounts or glams being put on there.


In 7 years. The release cadence is still largely the same.

The sky is not falling.

Also, I own not 1 single Mogstation mount. And won't be buying this one.

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.

Should have been PvP Seasonal reward so you would still be salty

So what you're saying is we gotta wait around 7 years after FFXIV cash-shop was introduced before SE is part in a huge scandal that will make the players and streamers jump to the next big thing?
