I just personally think think that it's wholly overpriced and not worth it, hence my comment earlier in the thread, and that people who demean others who have similar views as poor people being jealous seemingly have never experienced financial hardships, or at the very least, known someone who did, because they wouldn't talk like that otherwise.
I don't know why you think I'm looking too much into it, though



people can enjoy and buy whatever they want, but other people are also allowed to criticize said things and have a different opinion on it if they want to, I never said people aren't allowed to buy stuff from it in any of my posts lmao
on the other hand, you have people doing just that, using this mount in some vain attempt to flex on people who don't like it for various, different reasons, because monetary reasons are the only reason, in their eyes, for why someone might not like it (or the whale)
I mean, just look at their posts
they can do whatever they want with their money, but treating 30 bucks as if it was a few pennies doesn't sit right with me, having gotten to known many poor families through work



I agree with you here, I don't think the CC is some writing on the wall kinda thing and is "just" poor form from SE, if you wanna call it that
And I never said people aren’t allowed to criticize the decision. I just think the doom and gloom and moral grandstanding over what is imo a pretty ugly optional mount is a bit much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My bad, though. I assumed when you said “some people have principles” I read it with a different tone than you intended. Thanks for the detailed response to clarify! I agree with most of what you said about certain responses being in bad taste, chalking up to “lol sounds like poor people”. I just generally don’t think the whole cash shop is a big deal, and have a hard time imagining real people buying $30 game assets for any sort of flex reasons. While it’s not pennies, it’s definitely not a crazy amount of money to spend in general, unlike say the emotes that come with the free statue.
