A warning to FFXIV players

[Juzjuzz]

I really don't understand what's the big deal about cash shop mounts in a p2p game. Would it make you feel better if they gated your mount behind 1 month's worth of grind time so that instead of spending only money for the mount you would now spend and your time? You are already paying to play so if they make it too difficult or grindy to obtain they would be still making money from you in an indirect way. I don't get your point.

It's more fun to farm for a mount than just getting it. A lot of ppl pay the game for having fun, if they get the shiny without a new raid that goes with it (or something else it's just an example): the biggest part of the fun is gone. Getting the mount while paying "extra" becomes tastless. It's quick satisfaction. It's not even useful outside of being a 2 seater mount that you can use acount wide (for a big price imo).

Being happy for a mount not being hidden behind a huge farm is okay, but i think the choice wasn't that great this time. Cruise chaser is not a random mob or a small thing in the game. It's not like the fat cat or the magic carpet. Even if 1 other mount or more is similar (imagine kart titan mount lol), i won't be happy if another one shows up.

btw look at what the ppl who play instead of paying get at the same time : the war mount coca cola version (just do you expert roulettes as tank and good job you'll get it over time, there's also very easy ways to farm if you have some extra time). It's not bad sure but compared to cruise chaser? I understand that 30$ mount has to be good but still...
