Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

[Deceptistar]

Im usually one to spend alot on optional items but $30 seems a bit on the expensive side for a single mount that i know i wont be riding with another person 24/7 xD

I could less if it two seater, I have a two seater chocobo and never used it. But I'm sure it a coveted item for those that have all their friends playing with them.

Looks rather cute, would rather wait until it maybe goes on sale one day
I too prefer 1 seated mounts though

[Kai_Lee]

I must be blind because these two things look nothing alike, except maybe that fur tuft below the face, but even that is more puffed out.

You don't even ride them the same way, and the moogle has several smaller models on the top. It's actually incredibly more detailed then the fat chocobo.

That roe bro love, I don't care what other say, I brought one too.

I love the "If i do not like it, it means it´s bad for the game and the industry" attitude.
No, it may be bad for YOU but there´s plenty of people who are happy to further support the game in exchange for pretties.

If you are unhappy with it, well, i honestly mean no ill (as rough as it may sound) when i say that you need to learn to deal with it.
Microstransactions are not going away any time soon and considering how much money they make, if anything, they will be every time more prevalent.

And you guys try try to malign it by claiming that it´s creation/sales takes away from other areas of the game or developing time but the simple fact is that you have no way to prove that.

You malign cash-shoppers the same way the new gen of mmo players maligned outdoor PvPers a decade ago.
"I don´t like it, henceforth it´s evil and anyone taking part in it sucks by will or ignorance"

Your problem, i guess.

Of course they won't go away and will get worse just like they have been getting in MMOs history. Because people agree and support.

That's not malign it, that's a truth. People that support this kind of move are the type of people that make all these business abuses exist today. If you don't care of being part of that, good for you. But you are.

Creating the mount itself is using resources. The choice of putting it on mogstation is taking it away from the game. They could've put a recolour mount, or a recolour housing item, but no. Even if it was done with "mogstation money", now mogstation is supporting mogstation? Buy cash shop items so you can have more of it in the future? That's not supporting the game either. That's greedy and if you think that greedy attitudes from a company are good and okay then well, again, good for you. At the end of the day you have a cute mount and making the gaming industry worse by telling them that it's okay so be greedy, take out as many things as you can from the game and make me pay more, I'll agree with it. But you don't care. So good for you.

and making the gaming industry worse

Worse for YOU, maybe, certainly not for me or the rest of the people that do not believe that content is being cut just to re-sell it.

Your standard =/= the industry.

The dissapointing things I find in these threads is any proper discussion is quickly derailed by the hyperbolic people on both sides of the fence.

I dislike the cash shop and therfore will never purchase from it on principle. People don't need to agree with me and my valuation on what should be included in the subscription. I will continue to give my feedback on the system and offer comprises such as shop items being attainable via ingame means as well as purchased.

The market determines if the cash shop succeeds. My only opinion is that they are pushing too far and they are going to wind up relying on the shop to make profits as the subscriber count thins out due to things such as the cash shop.

All those people you keep telling to accept it or leave might just take yiu up on that offer. Don't be suprised when SE starts to reach for wallet more and more often offering less and less in return.

True these are some of the same people that I heard say they dropped $200 on a mount in a different game well good for them for having that type of disposable income. But like I said in previous post anyone seen a trend in mount prices? If continues will eventually be paying $40, $50 for a mount but that ok right cause of the whales that have the money to do it and just call everyone else cheap and poor. (This post is not aimed at the quoted person I just agree with them and wanted to extend upon it)

I don't see many (if any, but the thread is 20 pages long now, so I might have missed them, if so) "whales" calling people who don't want to purchase Mogstation items cheap or poor. It seems to be a disagreement regarding the principles and future of the game.

I've always laughed at people who bought mounts on the cash shop, but I've done so inwardly. With this mount, I don't think I'm going to be able to keep myself from openly mocking anyone I see with it.

Laugh away! I'll be laughing too, as I soar thru the skies on him, because funny mount is funny.
