So...about that white magitek mount

Glamour is big for some people, sure. I guess I'm just your average guy that doesn't particular care about stuff like that, so maybe that's why I feel the way I do. I look at the mogstation and don't see anything that's worth spending real money on.

PS. Could any form of petition of a very real issue not be considering fear mongering? I hate to compare it to real world issues, but I'll do so anyway. Net Neutrality is a big thing was/is a rather large issue, people were spreading the potential issues ("fearmongering", as you put it) of it changing to a more closed system, and that caused hundreds of thousands to voice their dislike for the system and get it stopped even though it seems to be pop up again every few months. Should we shut up and accept it because we're creating fear? No, it's reasonable to fear such a system because of it's potential, previously proven examples.

I don't know much about the context of this particular issue, but yes by definition that could be considered fear-mongering. I think an important distinction to make is who is involved. EA has certainly went to town with cash shops, they wouldn't have any problem charging us $15 to boost to level 60. I haven't played many Blizzard games but I'll assume they did too based on the discussions. Are there any Square Enix games that offer that (excluding mobile)? I'm genuinely not sure, I haven't played every SE game. I do know that no other Final Fantasy game has offered those kind of shortcuts though. So, precedent is a big part of determining whether there should be legitimate concern or whether it should just be viewed as a fear tactic to get people worried about something that is less likely to happen. Fear-mongering was maybe too strong of a word to use, but that's just what comes to mind when I see people claiming things that (at least as far as I can tell) will probably never happen.
