    Also saying it's not mandatory, thats like saying, oh there gambling in the game but it's not mandatory, theres a reason the EU is going through hell to get this shit removed from all game lmfao. You're expecting people in XIV to have self control, when they can't even control themselves to not attack the devs over new races? Sad to say it but this does all fall into the companies lap. They are preying on people. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true.

    And this isn;t the first time SE has preyed on it's consumers, Looks at all of their gatcha games.



    Another Example, DE, Makers of Warframe where you could literally pull a crank for 1 dollar and reskin your Kubrow, people would pull the crank and spend MASSIve amounts of money. Tey removed it the same week. Was it peoples choice to do something for a cosmetic? Yes. But it was predatory.

    Yes they are, you can get them immediately after doing the fates in each zone for both Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Before that, no they weren't but Fenrir wasn't a thing back then either so we have to use modern availability.


    10 years in I still own 0 mogstation mounts, and I haven't ever felt the need to get the fenrir, because I can just do fates.



    Also, equating mount speed to gambling is just... no.

    It's been there since patch 4.4 He's promoted it in multiple interviews, charging for a feature other games naturally have is predatory. We can also have the conversation on how XIV literally makes no sense in hiw it steamlines specific features people enjoy in MMOs and leaves others in most people IN THIS GAME ask to be removed. Like the FATE system most people constantly rag on in disgust. Literally have seen plenty of posts on how people Don;t touch fates. But good for you for agreeing we should be charged for A basic feature. Predatory.

    And once again. Instead of defending having all the items in the cash shop, it should be in the game for free, and earnabl. We're really just defending it's existence and then wondering why rewards in the Criterion dungeons are lack luster to non-existent. This is funny lol.

    Edit: and this is the point I constantly make, instead of looking at the bigger picture, everyone in this community cherry picks what they personally agree with as the game gets dumbed down more, as more rewards get removed, as more content gets handed to people who don;t even care about the dev team or the game. But as long as Yoshida makes you feel all special and your lane is ok, it's fine to ignore everything else and just not care! Like No call out not having ALL those holiday items being in the game and just purchasable with gil, callout the statues that are Fomo, call out mounts having speed boosts, callout housing items that can literally be crafted not being craft able. Stop letting a corp use your nonchalantness to make shit that was normal in games before a luxury item.

    It is in the game, for free, and earnable. You do fates and unlock mount speed for every mount. I know no one who purchased the fenrir for mount speed. No one.

    And in EW launch I saw SDS Fenrir mounts everywhere. But again good for your experience. Doesnt change that it's a reality. What you're saying rn is equal to someone saying, I've never got bullied so bullyinh doesn't happen
