Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Twintania: I'm ok with recruit-a-friend campaigns, as an incentive for bringing more people into the game. You don't need to buy them their copy of the game.

Sleipnir: Where did I say I agreed with it? Just because I didn't single it out doesn't mean I'm ok with it. It's among the sack of cut content I don't agree with being part of the store. Jus like the chocobo carriage, that's one of the very first things you see in the game (depending on your starting city).

The pvp mounts: I don't see a problem. Yes, ideally you'd want a mount that's a raid enemy to be obtainable through raiding, but I'm ok with it being a reward in other content as long as you obtain it by playing the game. And pvp is an aspect of the game they have a lot of trouble trouble getting the community to play, so I'm all up for them using incentives like these to keep it alive.

The other thing you're not considering is that most of those enemies (save for the dreadnought at least) didn't have such a long wait as Cruise Chaser did to get turned into a mount, so expectations weren't as high (not to mention some of those enemies arguably weren't as impactful in the game as Cruise Chaser was).

Cruise chaser has less of an impact for me than the dreadnought, and the dreadnought released roughly 3 years earlier and is limited in number. My coil raid group will never be able to obtain it as a mount.

The dreadnoughts used to give me anxiety when they spawned in t4. I had a strict CD rotation for dealing with them.. Cruise chaser was just a boss with slightly annoying mechanics in savage and a wipe fest in normal dealing with new players.
