How do you feel when you buy a mount at the mog station

[Packetdancer]

I mostly don't mind cash shop mounts. For one thing, a ton of them are just "this mount was available in a previous seasonal event; that event is gone, but if you didn't get it in-game at the time, you can pick it up in the cash shop now"; I actually think that's not the worst way to handle no-longer-available seasonal content, as opposed to "sorry, you weren't playing around New Year's of 2016, you can't ever get that now".

The majority of the ones that aren't old seasonal stuff are random stuff like a paissa.

However...

... Alright. I'll just be flying around on my cruise chaser enjoying the living hell out of it

...Krotoan manages to reference the one mount on the Mog Station where I have conflicted feelings about its presence there. If only because people had been asking for that mount for so long, it seems like it would've been a perfect prestige mount to give a way to get in-game.

I recognize it wouldn't be easy to retroactively add to the Alexander savage raids, and adding a mount to an Ultimate fight (e.g. TEA) would've been unprecedented. But I think of all the mounts on the Mog Station, that's one I would've preferred to have seen a way to get in-game. Even if it was only temporary, with some sort of event, and then went on the cash shop after the event was done, a'la any other temporary seasonal event's reward.

Don't get me wrong, I bought that thing the instant it hit the cash shop, and have no regrets about doing so. But I think if there's anything on the cash shop I would've preferred to be obtainable in game, it would be that one mount.

What about the spriggan mount ? They literally added it in the shop while the easter event was live a few years ago >.<

Happy I have an adorable shiba to run around on account wide.
Not every single mount needs to be a pain to get.

I feel good about it. I wanted it. I had the money for it. I bought it and enjoy it in-game. Bing. Bang. Boom.

Honestly? Nah, the spriggan mount doesn't bother me that much; I don't recall threads begging for a spriggan mount prior to its introduction.

I sure as heck do recall threads begging for Cruise Chaser as a mount. Like I said, I think that's about the only cash-shop mount I really think they should've had obtainable in-game rather than cash shop.

I really wanted to know because personally I would never do that what is the point of paying real money to get a mount you are really proud of once you get it? even if the mount is only available at the mog station I would never pay for it because a mount should be obtained by doing a quest or something

You don't pay my sub and you don't pay for my mounts.

[Croweyes]

I feel rather fine. Just like in real life, I wanted something, I bought it.

I would NEVER buy stuff from a Cash Shop! Muh Morals!

Ok.

god not everything has to be an achievement

[Minarisweet]

Yeah I pretend I'm not wasting an absurd amount of money for an item that could've been a reward in game to inspire replayability and then shit on f2p games for doing the same .

on another note, probably excitement, like when you buy stuff online and they arrive at your doorstep
