This is why I didn't want this to be a Mogstation evil thread - because that's another very messy can of worms.

I came from the era before WoW had a cash shop, like quite a number of people here. You bought the game and subscription and that was it.

Ideally for me, in a MMO where you b2p and pay a subscription, there should be no cash shop. Everything should be earnable in-game.

However, I've seen the arguments that MMO costs have gone up and partially accepted that the cash shop is a necessary evil. I'm fine with the cash shop selling things like the whale/peacock mount etc

The Cruise Chaser however is different. As others have pointed out, it's reusing in-game assets and could have been tied into in-game content.

Is this a slippery slope, where we see more in-game assets re-used in the cash shop in the future?

Maybe or maybe not.
In the past, I've participated in discussions about the Mog Station.
I've come to partially accept that the cash shop is necessary with rising MMO costs.

Which is why I didn't put foward a discussion about the Mog Station as a whole.

However, with the Cruise Chaser mount - it's not something exclusively created for the Mog Station.

It's re-using in-game assets and something that could have been tied to in-game content.
