So...about that white magitek mount

[Brannigan]

Sleipnir should have dropped off of Odin. These should have been obtainable in-game. Cash shops are the ultimate casual garbage. "I don't want to actually play the game to get stuff, I just want it mailed to me."

Here's a quick list of possible places they could have put these reskins:

Achievement: Help 50 players get their first clear of Castrum Meridianum
Drop: Minstrel's Ballad: Castrum Meridianum
A new quest line
Crafting
Free Company crafting
Just make the regular magitek mount dye-able like Chocobos.


I don't even want the mounts, but there's a clear flow of things in MMORPGs. Subscription->Content->Rewards. This skips the content, which is what you're actually supposed to be paying for.

Oh please. The game as a majority is casual beyond belief. These items are nothing but glamour and do nothing but such. I don't know about you, but I earned my 12/24 bucks or however much I want to spend on that cash shop in real life. God forbid someone wants to buy themselves or someone else something nice with their hard earned work.

Exactly. They regularly release content that rewards nothing BUT glamours (read: every dungeon released since 2.1, the entirety of Gold Saucer). Glamours are rewards for doing content in the game. Primals drop horses. Paying for stuff like this instead is basically just skipping actually doing stuff so you can idle in Lavender Beds or whatever looking pretty.

Again, "I don't want to play the game, just let me buy it."

Snippy

Since this is a mount issue, this is two mounts(technically 4 if you count Sleip and Twin), available outside of game means. Against how many already available to us? Someone give me the number. 3 of which you can pay if you want them. 1 you just recruit others. Uhh, no. Glamours may be the rewards for most of what's being done, but SE certainly hasn't said that would be the only place you would find them. That is something you and many others deduced and believed to be the truth. In turn, shame on SE for doing something that betrayed your beliefs.

And how does that statement translate into that? That's some whack translation job there. Anyone who buys things is a pushover? That's a cool deduction, yo. Next you're gonna tell me the people that buy cash shop junk buy gil too.

I agree 100%
