I'll just reiterate my point. Looking at FFXIV Collect, we got 12 mounts between 6.4 and 6.45. Sounds like a lot right? However, there's a really big asterisk there.

- Four of them are recolors/reskins of existing mounts that are VERY similar (three mandragonas and an extreme mount)
- Two of them are upscales of existing mobs (the buffalo and the supporter, not counting Shadowkeeper)
- Two of them are mogstation mounts (the bike and shadowkeeper)

This means that we got a grand total of four mounts that do not fit into these catagories. Thus, it is important that when comparing the amount of new mogstation content to the amount of new in-game content, that we do not pretend like a recolor/reskin is of the same quality as a mount like the new bike.
Here's your TLDR:

If the cash shop mounts are the good stuff, why do their owners mostly stop using them after a couple of weeks and go back to mounts they had earned through game play?

Cruise Chaser is the only mount from the cash shop that seems to show up often in the open world months after it was added.
