Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

And I never said people aren’t allowed to criticize the decision. I just think the doom and gloom.

You know it's a slippery slope that has ended in the exact same place in every MMO ever, right?

First "it's just a mount lol stop freaking out"

Then "it's just some minor stats that don't matter, stop freaking out lol"

Then it's "Oh you don't wanna invest 100e into the cash shop? TOO BAD GET FKED LOL!"

Look at BDO. Have fun playing that game without pets, weights and costumes that give massive benefits.

I’m just not really worried about it. They have showed time and again that they care about player QoL, and have thus far upheld their respect towards the playerbase. They aren’t my friends, but they’re not my enemy either. I enjoy playing the game and I’m not bothered by shiny extras that I can take or leave. And the fervor will die down like it always does every time they add something new, because people will realize nothing bad happened.

The only paid service that has impacted my gameplay in the slightest is retainers. Two is doable but it’s a struggle and becomes more and more unpleasant every expansion. That’s pretty much the only cash shop service I’m pissy about. Okay that and Hrothgar fantasias should be free.

And when the day comes when they add something you're not ok with, it's gonna be too late. It's not "fearmongering" or "doomsaying" when it has happened EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Doesn't matter if it's a US, Korean or Japanese MMO, it's always the same.

It'd be one thing if this hasn't been in a state of equilibrium for 7 years, but it has.


So yeah, it is fear mongering.

I don’t think it would be too late. This is a team that reshaped a dead on arrival flop into what it is today. When they misstep, every time, they answer to the playerbase. If nothing else, the team listens. Should they start to step out of line, truly step out of line and not just this overblown cosmetics panic, I can’t see them simply ignoring it. Especially if such a decision erased the trust they worked so hard to build to relaunch the game in the first place.

Being concerned is fine, I’m not going to stop you and healthy criticism is good. It has helped the game be better many times. But people coming out with the end is nigh signs every time something goes up in shop is tiresome and just a lot of fuss over business as usual.
