A warning to FFXIV players

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I pay to play games and be rewarded for that: content in game.
A weird concept. Paying for a service, being provided said service. Amazing.

And no, mounts are not optional services - Are features of the service already provided: Rendering the cash shop only an extra fee, a predatory extra fee.

So is that going to change because a large handful of items are put in a cashshop? The answer will shock you: NO
You are paying to play the game, and you are rewarded with more content in the game. Its been what, 8-9-10 years that FFXIV has been around? Can you tell me that the game stopped giving you rewards for playing and now everything is in the cashshop? I can tell you in the 5-6 years ive been playing this game, Im to this day still being rewarded for playing the game. Nothing has changed because of a handful of Premium Mounts put in a Cashshop.

People scream Corperate Greed and Predetory Practice.
No, you just dont want to pay, because you just want everything for free.

No, i pay i subscription for in game content.
I want to get things in my game, well, in game: not a cash shop.

In the end cash shop defenders are nothing more than spiteful greedy individualistic people, we are not even talking about closing it or anything - Some of us actually like the game and want to get rewarded by: playing the game.

They could perfectly add a color variant of the Cruise Chaser for the cash shop. But as long as the only option to get a mount is the cash shop: we got a problem.

There is a chance this will still happen but to the game, given how much of a softspot this is for some people, yourself included.

Personally don't really care.

Such they did with the Zu mount for instance.

So the SE way - Convoluted and Backwards.

The cash shop has less than 10% of mounts added to the overall game.

You are losing nothing

And insulting people who don't care one way or the other won't help you any.

---And you get just that...it never changed. Play the game, get rewards.

---I defend the shop, because it does not negatively effect the game. You calling anybody Spiteful Individualistic is Projection that your upset its not free.
You still get rewards for playing the game, a Premium Mount does not hurt you, if you want it, buy it. You dont want to buy it, Dont. Nothing is effecting you, or the game.
For you to say otherwise, is you just wanting everything for free.

---Why would they have a color Variant, if this mount was never in the game to begin with?
There is no problem, except you dont want to pay for something you dont need in the 1st place. If you want it, you have a way of getting it. Either do it, or Dont.

The alternative isn't getting them in game but rather not getting them at all because they aren't ever made to begin with. Every exclusive item on the cash shop is expressly made with the intention of earning extra profit. Without that incentive, SE has literally no reason to bother.
