About.... Umbrella Mounts

[SannaR]

Wow it's like people forget where things like these umbrellas come from. From a different version of the games' store that's ran by again a different team then the dev team. Even our store is ran by a different section. I'm sure this will all be forgotten or willfully ignored when Moonfire Faire rolls around. Also the moogle tome events always run right before a major patch drops. I swear some of you definitely chose to be willfully ignorant about things just so you can have yet another thing to complain about.

Edit: oh n they probably cost that much cause they have flight animation and are account wide.

"they have flight animation" lmao

it's literally the pod animation that is already in the game but with an umbrella instead ? hello ? also account wide mounts should be the norm, yet you are pushing that as a "oh wow they made it account wide i'm so grateful", while they literally ALL should be account wide by default, it's an actual scam that most of them arent.

It really baffles the mind that we can't be dissatisfied because it's made by a different team lol or that it's optional, or that it was made in a different time. It doesn't excuse the laziness. It's literally the pod animation with a fashion accessory with some cartoon effects thrown in, apparently that's effort. Just as much effort as the undyable onesies in the store

Excuse you, yoship had to personally explore the abandoned mines below the headquarters to painstakingly drag the switch to make an item account wide to the surface. He will have to do so again for the next mount. It's back breacking work, you arm chair devs wouldnt understand. /s

What gives you the impression that mounts should be account wide by default? Players are not forced to create alts by any means, and they create them on their own volition. Also, elaborate on how cash shop mounts are a scam.

You see, scams are typically exploits from con-artists who trick people into thinking they need something they actually don't. Examples would be diet pills, get-rich-quick schemes, masters degrees, and needing to watch the Captain Marvel movie before viewing Endgame. There is nothing that should make you feel like you need an umbrella mount, especially with the view point you have being it's just a "pod animation". You could just simply shrug your shoulders and move on. But instead you feel compelled to jump on a dog pile of the dev team because the game in its current state oppresses you.

oh boy here we go again, there is no arguing with you after you compared drugs and criminals to modders saying it was basically the same thing
enjoy, the only thing i'll say is : if you think a single character mount is normal, you are part of the problem.

"Blah, blah, blah. Instead of answering a question I can't, I'm going to point to this other thread where you really pissed me off."

If you don't like me paraphrasing, you are still free to answer the question if you are able to actually provide a valid reason why you need an optional item.

Wait. They really did that?

Post 56, literally comparing using mods to crime and drugs usage

I believe they were referring to the "ban people for holding clearly labeled 18+ social activities that i don't like" thread.

"Just ignore them. They're not doing anything to you or to affect your time." "So what if they're are using mods and not complying with the ToS. They're increasing subscription count. You don't have to use the mods if you don't want to."

This is the exact mindset that has turned what were once beautiful cities into dystopic hell holes filled with crime, homelessness, drugs, and lack of law enforcement. Just absolutely complacent and disgusting viewpoints that make little sense, and give the impression that they too partake in these kind of activities, which is why to go to these lengths to defend it. IOW, this is the worse defense for what is clearly degenerate behaviour that WILL eventually sunder anything and everything good about the game. If you can't see that, then you're already lost.

I can't believe anyone would actually defend this crap. Some of you make me absolutely sick. Seriously. Go ahead and make seem like I'm the one with the problem though, simply because I prefer the game and its communities to remain within the rating it has been given for the shelves.

When I read this, I thought they were being sarcastic tbh. But if I'm being real, I just assume everyone here is trolling each other so idk
