Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Malakii]

I dont think it is bootlicking at all, they are trying to continue to push out content for us or maybe you would be cool with waiting for six months. BTW, most of those exodus is using the free trial right now. I am not guilt trip them at all.
I rather pay 30.00 for a mount versus 89.95 plus tax for only 167 SQ (mobile game).

Also I lose family members to this and got many friends in Japan with it as well. So don't you dare say it is a guilt trip.

How is this content? You swipe your card you obtain a mount. This is a digital item that is half the cost of the game expansion itself. That is worth 2 times your sub. Some people 3 times. I guess you stating that we wont get anymore content without this $30.00 mount or endwalker wont come out?

I did think. And I think that anyone who believes that $30 is a lot of money needs to find a different line of work: employment instead of unemployment.

Dude, this is so inconsiderate. Maybe $30 is not alot to you, but it is to others, especially for people who doesn't use dollar/euro. This is nearly the same as you telling people to "just stop being poor lol"

The content is doing great. I am starting to doing tanking again, I have not did tanking since Ragnarok Online (GC Crusader) in 2003/2004 (before I went to WoW) and its awesome. I am only need one more FR to get my motorbike and I want to get my crafting tool relics before Endwalker. Because I want to get my crafters level to 90 for making raid gear.

At the end of the day, regardless of what side of the augment you are on, it is up to the person if they want to the Mount or not and we have to respect their decision no matter what. Besides there is other great mounts in this game and some of the them is hard to get (Morbal) and it is on the game not on the Mogstation. But to each its own.

Also it's a lot for a MOUNT regardless, for example, Hades is launching on PlayStation for $24.99. Guardians of the Galaxy by the same SQEX is $60 and it seems people act like they invested on this mount half the money and man-power of what they'd invest in a brand new $60 game, okay...

Funny thing is even a lot of F2P games will at least let you grind to earn an item you can instantly buy on their cash shop. FFXIV doesn't even give you a choice but to hand them even more money.

I used to believe that this game was a product of passion, that the aim was to create a really good game, that was the objective, and profit was just a means of sustaining it.

But, looking at this, and and of the other stuff, I'm not so sure...

1: Money.

2: Better it's on the online store then if it had been something like a "Feast" reward where only very few people would be able to get it.

What about putting savage rewards on the mog station too? maybe tittles and also housing, so everyone with cash will able to get it.

Nah that's not the way it works. We remove those from the game and put them exclusively in the mog shop.

There is a difference in making money as a company or making money at all cost.

Customers know their sellers. If the company gets too greedy you do not feel welcomed anymore.

Bad example EA. They tried to squeech every penny out of you. It would let me stop buying stuff from Square Enix, if they are getting greedier like them.

dude you just joined. Every mmo/live service game offers item purchases via actually money. Its not that big of a deal.
