Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

[Celef]

I love how nowadays you are not allowed to have an opinion without being called a "korean F2P mmo fat wallet whale" or some other derogatory term

Well first of all your are right, no one should call name on anyone, thats rude, even if we disagree with you !

clearly meant to insinuate that you are what´s wrong with modern MMOverse.

Certainly not THE thing that is wrong with modern MMOverse but at least a part of the problem. If game company developp items for a CS but no one buy from it, they will probably stop wasting time and money on this cause no benefits.
On the other hand, if you keep buying, they keep selling and keep thinking they should allow dev time to that instead of thing everyone can enjoy.
How much time did they use to make that mount that benefits only a few of us and how did it impact the creation of other stuffs that we could all enjoy for the price of our sub ?
And, more important, why not add it to the game as well ?
I mean, if someone does not want to wast time on, lets say King Moogle trials, he / she can buy the mount in Cs.
If someone does not want to buy it in CS, they should be abble to get it via the Trial.

How much time did they use to make that mount/ how did it impact the creation of other stuff

A game studio has different teams assigned to different tasks.

The devs/progs that create Optional items may not even be the same people that work on game content and regular updates

You are assuming that creating optional content means less time or manpower creating the rest of content, but they may not even be related to each other and the optional item devs may not even be hired if there was no profit to be made.

why not add it to the game as well ?

Because then, a number of people who have purchased the item may have chosen to get it ingame instead, thus resulting in a loss of profits for the devs.

Not only that, but the effort and time required to obtain the item would have to be difficult and lenghty to justify it being free vs25$ , which would probably stll leave a segment of players without it.

Actually the subscription is meant to go towards funding the development of future content.

The sub is meant to be their profit, how they spend it its their business.

The devs that make things for the cash shop are the same ones that make stuff for regular content patches.

Prove it, since i assume such a claim means that you personally know the FFXIV team and how they organize and share the workload.

Cash shops in subscription MMOs are not 'optional extras' they're cut content that you can choose to buy back.

Prove it, i want you to show me all those blueprints, concept art and dev-chats that you have about the flying fat moogle and how it was pre-release planned content that got cut.
I mean, with all those claims, i assume you can prove them to be true.

Fine, proove it too please; You ask Alberel proof regarding his assumption while you do excactly the same without prooving anything just because it goes the way you want so i want proof regarding this :

Tchatlog with dev team, mails etc every usual thing people always ask for so i might stop thinking SE uses my sub money to create items i can't get because i won't pay extra money for it in CS instead of creating content for every players.
