Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Daeriion_Aeradiir]

There is no made FOR the cash shop.

There is only made content made for the game - Then is put behind a credit card paywall.

Exxxxxcept Yoshi-P has gone on record multiple times across liveletters, interviews, etc to talk about how the mogstation team works independently from the main dev team on their projects, and that the stuff they design/create is only intended to ever be sold for $$$. He's also talked about how the Chinese & korean companies that host the game in those countries have commissioned the mogstation team to create time-exclusive outfits for their regions for the sole purpose of being sold as microtransactions.

Everything the mogstation team does is MADE FOR the sole purpose of being on the cash shop. Full stop, no ifs and/or butts. To believe otherwise is being willingly ignorant to the reality of how the mogstation team operates.

If you want anyone to blame, Yoshi-P had 5 years since the Creator tier came out to make Cruise Chase a mount, and never did. The mogstation team merely capitalized on an idea Yoshi-P was never going to do. It not being on the cash shop wouldn't magically make it in the game, that's not how game development works. it would have likely stayed in the void of cut content and the mogstation team would have made something else instead of CC.

EDIT: here's a little snippet into the relationship between Yoshi-P and the head of the mogstation team, the 'Mogstation Empress'.

Q: Will we get a certain outfit from the mog station?

A: Does everyone want that? Not a lot of response from the crowd. So with the Mog Station it is ruled by a powerful empress. More power than I am. She has mentioned creating this uniform and gear would be very difficult and costly. Basically said if everyone promises to purchase this new item we might consider making it. Would you promise to buy it? (The crowd had mixed reactions). I guess I’ll have to do it.
