So...about that white magitek mount

[Sicno]

People NEED to understand something, it is OPTIONAL. You don't HAVE to have it , you don't HAVE to have it and you don't HAVE to pay for it.

It is OPTIONAL....

I am gonna buy it cause I like it . It's my choice as I'm not bothered as to how much it is. I don't have to have it but I want it.

The thing you NEED to understand is that it's not only OPTIONAL, it's that you pay for OPTIONAL stuff on a game with a monthly sub. Also, it's $12 for a reskin (and a reskin that existed in the game already for that model).

Your point being...?

I'm a member at my local Golf Course, but I'm still expected to pay Greens Fees; albeit a smaller price than those that are not members, and none of the food/drink is free! How outrageous!!

I don't think you get why many people prefer pay to play MMOs over free to play MMOs. It isn't because a monthly sub MMO is suppose to ensure that EVERYTHING is included in that and nothing in a cash shop. It's to ensure there's no pay to win items in a cash shop. That mount is not pay to win, nor is anything else in the cash shop of FFXIV, so SE is in no way obligated to include it with the monthly sub. Most free to play MMOs will actually have items in the shop that effect gameplay. Yeah, I get that you prefer everything to be included in the sub cost, as I'm sure all of us wish it was, but you made it sound like you are surprised that a non-pay to win item is in a cash shop in a sub-based MMO.

I pay $170 a month for TV and Internet.. But I still have to pay $5 or whatever for a pay per view movie. (which I don't, but the point is still the same.. Monthly sub doesn't include "optional" items)
