Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

Not everything sold in a store needs to be bought by a customer, even if they happen to desire those things. If we're honest with ourselves how many of us have purchased a mount from the Mog Station or worked hard in-game to acquire one only to use it a few times and then never touch it again?

Why does that matter? That can be said for most things in the game including gear. The point is FF14 is double dipping and its not just for development cost. If they are boasting 10M players do they really need an over priced cashshop filled with exclusives that are game relevent?

It matters because a significant number of people seem to be unable to grasp the idea that some stores and optional services are simply not aimed at them. Businesses lean on optional products simply because they are effective and there are a lot of customers with a disposable income. In time, they will go on sale. It could be much, much worse.

It's not like there aren't any new mounts being added in content patches. We even got one for the latest seasonal event.
