Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

[Skivvy]

Oh look, pages and pages of people once again complaining about the Mog Station, how original and refreshing! You people—no, you know what? I think I’m going to sit this conversation out. If I shared how I really felt I would get banned from the forums again. I like my forum access, gentlemen, so I’ll leave you to your pettiness.

It's not petty to take issue with cash shops, RNG boxes and DLC creeping into game models where there previously were none.

It's not petty to take issue with cash shops, RNG boxes and DLC creeping into game models where there previously were none.

When you start equating optional mounts (most of whom are a reskin of what's already in-game), vanity equipment (a good portion of which was in-game at one point and the rest makes up a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall equipment that we get more of every patch), and relatively benign jump potions to RNG loot boxes and full on DLC, yes, you have certainly reached a level of pettiness that would make a career politician's panties moist. But whatever, I know better than to waste my time attempting to change anyone's mind on these forums. Not when most of the people always complaining about the cash shop have somehow managed to convince themselves that their sub earns them any other right privilege besides server access.

Even if SE were to add these items into the game, I guarantee that 90% of the players here complaining about them being in the cash shop would instead complain about the unholy grind or content they would be locked behind. These back and forth flip-flops are so regular that at least half of the O-Forums must imbibe Metamucil like they're stranded in the desert about to die of thirst.

And then you have--no! I--you--! You son of a--! I told you I didn't want--! I don't want--! RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I was referring to a trend seen across games, and not strictly XIV. Next time I will break it down further so you don't start salivating thinking about the massive 'burn' you're going to attempt to deliver.

I wish they had made the carbuncle mounts 3x or 4x the price. Then maybe I wouldn't have to see the damned MyLittlePony treerats everywhere. I thought chocobos were ugly, but these sparkly vermin take the cake. The fact that they have the same scaling problem as the yokai cumsprites tells me the developers are pointing and laughing at each non-Lalafel that lines up to buy them.

I don't buy anything off the cash shop. The beg-emote stopped me for a second, but that's only because I thought the miqote came with the emote. Sure. I'd spam it.
Other things I would pay extra for...
- Y'shtola mount. God knows we won't ever get any MSQ time with her. (not bitter)
- Filtering goggles. Let's us select for visual substitution any in-game entities we would rather not see on our screens (like Lalafels, moogles, carbuncles, Kan-e-senna...)

It... it was... Aymeric! If he offers you tea, DO NOT DRINK IT. JUST RUN.

I love the fact you provided an answer XD I would've done the same thing. you win my like

While I agree that SE might put some new stuff in MogStation, in the other hand, we have many mounts we can get from the game itself. Like Boreas, Enbarr, lanners, etc...
One or two new mounts via Mogstation won't hurt

When the actual game is getting tired, ugly and reused old glamours (often by making them dyeable) in new patches but the cash shop is getting new fancy items. I think it's time to stop.

Completely agree. It's not really the mounts that bother me (they're cute, and they're at a reasonable price compared to other cs mounts as well as there being a wealth of original mounts available in the game), it's the outfits. We're being cut down to one dungeon to run for one original set, the craftable sets are reskins of previous content awards, and no new pvp awards while original glamour sets are being specifically made for the cash shop for prices that are fairly unreasonable. That just kind of does it for me. When the amount of effort being put into the cash shop in relation to a specific type of content (gear) starts to catch up with the amount of effort being put into that type of content in the actual game, imo that's a turning point.
