Bought it and love it <3
(wow someone who isn't complaining, we're rare species)
"BAAAAAARD!" - 2018
Could have made it a drop from mog ex as 1% drop rate but oh well * shrugs *
Oh look. More complaints about the cash shop. How cute. As if words will stop such a powerful money making machine. Besides... The prices of FF14's cash shop are peanuts compared to some other mmos. People don't even know how lucky they are to not have to spend hundreds to just have a decent looking costume or basic functions in-game.
You are right, thank you so much SE for taking more money to me when I already pay the game, the extention packs and a monthly sub to get acces to your game. Your are so kind to take me less money than the other company (most of their game being F2P / B2P with no more sub) to create content that could have been put in game as a reward for, i don't know, a moogle fight ?Oh look.

People don't know how to take criticism anymore, and bad play is rewarded with with a coddling mentality. Yes, this is a casual game for the most part - that doesn't mean people need to walk on eggshells in fear of getting reported for pointing out things. This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.
Because the devs get the same ideas as you have thought of right here, it is no wonder why the cash shop is as popular as it is. Many people have not yet gathered all the existing grind-gated mounts so adding more to that to-do-list is not a pleasing thought. Not to mention that grinding at the mercy of a drop chance is one of the least enjoyable ways to sink time into the game. See all the complaints about primal ponies if you don't believe me. Finally the birds can be bought with currency.

Good thing I don't like it otherwise I would have been disappointed to see it only on the Mogstation... Not that I would have purchased it if I had liked how it looked but at least now I don't have to try "too hard" not to buy it ^^;.
The sad thing is that, even though people claim that they would not complain if there was an alternative way to earn the items, history says otherwise.
People always have had this inner hate for people who swing their credit cards instead of their swords.
I used to work at Burda I.E (Which published many online games, such as Ragnarok Online EU) and despite the fact that everything in the shop was obtainable in-game, people still complained and hated on cash-shoppers and constantly made threads about how shoppers were not "real gamers" because they earned their items "unfairly", and people constantly discriminated against them and even refused to group with shoppers.
Yes, now that cash shops dominate and are full of exclusives and extras, people claim that if we were to go back to the original state of cash shops, that would be okay, but that´s only because it´s the lesser of two evils.
After a while, the anti cash shop elitism would be back.
I always thought the cash shop was a place for fun little items we can buy like this mount without having to do a 6 year grind. Why is this so hated when all that gets put in the cash shop is needless items you never need? Now 30 bucks is a bit high but other than that is it really that bad?
