I'm not so happy when they put on it new items that could have perfectly been part of the game we're already paying for (like the /toast emote, even featured in-game in the Dwarven beast tribe quest cutscenes).

But Cruise Chaser being a store mount crosses all kinds of lines. This is something we've been expecting to get in the game for 5 years, ever since Alexander: The Creator was released in 2016. It's a fight that's beloved and popular in the community for multiple reasons, and it has appeared in other content like The Epic of Alexander and Rival Wings. It's a very meaningful entity within the playerbase. Having it finally as a mount but not tied to gameplay but to the store is really disappointing. I'm not against them making money, but this feels like a betrayal. That they care much more about our money than about our loyalty as players.
Twintania, Odin, the dreadnought, ADS. None of these are available from the content they were created for.

1 is cash shop, 1 is recruit a friend, and the others are pvp. Which has nothing to do with them, and 1 of those will be impossible for 99.999999% of the playerbase to acquire, since only 100 per DC are able to get it.

Why are we locking beloved raid mounts behind pvp? Where's the rage threads over that?
