Really? They put Shadowkeeper on the Mog Station?

Actually customer B thinks that the mount should only be for "raiders", so they can feel "speshul"

It doesn't need to be a raid mount lmao. this could've been for a relatively easy achievement or even gold saucer MGP
Either of those would be miles better than $$$ station, for the players

Operative word being "for the players"

The reason they don't update MGP or "relatively easy achievements" with big ticket items like this is it's essentially a waste for them. Everyone has more MGP than they know what to do with. It's another reason why the achievement guy saw only a single update in over two years. It isn't worth putting new stuff in there.

As for the whole "if only people didn't buy it! Then they'd put it in-game!!" Yeah, no they wouldn't. They just wouldn't bother to begin with. Square Enix has an entire separate division exclusively for micro-transactions. Every AAA developer does. Their sole purpose is making content to sell. If it didn't sell, they'd have no reason to make it. Not saying I agree with the practice or that the cash shop isn't getting a bit excessive. Just that the reality is corporations only care about money.
