Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

[Azper]

I'll grab it during their winter sale, provided it's not too expensive. I think $30 is bordering on ridiculous.

I don't mind a cash shop in a sub game if it contains things like name changes/fantasias/server transfers, and for in-game items, it is recolors or restyles of in-game items. I don't like items exclusively available on the cash shop in a sub game. It undermines the subscription system.

Do they really forces you, nowadays, to get a sub to access the game AND add exclusive items in CS or are they F2P with an option to get a sub and CS ?
Cause it's not the same at all. I would not mind buying that mount which is 2 month sub if i did not have to already pay those 2 month sub to have access to the game...

Actually it is. World of warcraft has a very large cash shop and it is also a pay to play MMO, and you don't see a large thread of complaints on their forums every time they add something to it.

The cash shop exists. Nothing in there is needed, they just made a cute mount and put it there for people who wanted something extra to support the game. That's all that needs to be said.

Well if cosmetic doesn't matter let's stop putting housing itens, mounts, minions, dyes, glamours, emoticons, hairs in the game. I mean, they don't add anything to the gameplay anyway.
I wouldn't care if this was GW2, for example, then I could put all my money in cosmetics itens because guess what, I wouldn't be paying a sub already.

This is a ridiculous argument.

Another metaphor would be buying a book for $14.99 you finish reading that book only to reach the end and learn that there's an Epilogue available for an additional $30. You don't need the Epilogue, you have the whole main story right there, but then you get to wondering. 'What the heck is in that Epilogue that makes it worth twice the cost of the actual book?!' Some people just cave in and buy it.

Honestly, I probably would have bought the thing myself, if it wasn't for the $30 price tag. (I haven't bought a single mount yet, but that one speaks to my sense of humor and thus draws me unlike the other mounts.) It is sad though, to date, Thornemarch is the only extreme trial without a mount. Such a missed opportunity.

Yawn, people complaining about OPTIONAL Mog Station glamour items. Just another day on the forum.

[Arrius]

Really SE I don't really speak out against you but you dun goofed here $30 for a mount and a mount that could of been given as a beast tribe reward. Mogmenders anyone? Cause it a freaking floating moogle!

That is complete nonsense. SE never would've added that mount as a moogle beast tribe reward. Alone the fact that the said tribe is crafters only and that two-seaters are somewhat still of a rarity where the required personal investment to receive such one is still very high.

[Melorie]

The cash shop exists.

Sadly it does since people agree with it, support it, etc, etc. Shall we all agree with everything just because it's common? Is that conformism healthy for the future of the game? I don't think so.

This is a ridiculous argument.

Is it? Because when you treat a exclusive cash shop item as okay just because it's cosmetic and it's not needed I can only think you wouldn't care if other things were there too.

If you look at their forums and the announcements you essentially have this entire thread of arguments every single time. I know there was a huge backlash when the transmog helms were put up and people even became abusive in game to anyone that had them. I haven't seen them create any further transmog items for the shop. These things tend to create quite a bit of tension.

I'm not understanding why this couldn't have been a beast-man mount. Yes, the quests were crafter only, but it's still something that everyone can do in game. I've done plenty of things that I dislike in this game just to get the reward. Others could manage as well :3

I don't mind the mounts that are already in there, but $30 is a little much. I'll wait until it goes on sale.
