Companies want to make profit. The mogstation team, which is wholly separate from the FF14 dev team mind you, saw an opportunity to make profit with Cruise Chaser.

It's not antagonizing to give people the straight facts that CC was 99.99999999999999999% likely to never see the light of day if it wasn't for the mogstation team.
Well-adjusted people don't sit in a forum thread for hours at a time over the course of multiple days to graciously share their "realistic mindset" on an issue they claim to have little stake in. A few of the people in this thread essentially jump from thread to thread all day making antagonistic posts, even on subjects whose basic premise they claim to agree with. That's who my observation was directed at.

I don't actually care about the cash shop, I just think the dynamics that pop up in the debate around it are really bizarre.
