Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Lathander81]

So now seasonal mounts added to the cash-shop with no chance of getting it in game. This is turning into a wallet drain game. We already pay 15+ for sub, pay for additional retainers and expansions. Now we have to buy seasonal event mounts that is more expensive than the sub? WOW SE you are going too far. If you are going to say "You dont have to buy it" Dont bother...the point is after paying all this money to play the game now they are starting to gate seasonal items in the cashshop....Just wow.

This isn't new they've been doing it for quite some time. I would have less of an issue with many of their items (emotes, outfits etc) if they were account wide but pricing on mounts is pretty high in my view even though many are in fact account wide.

They've been offering us a seasonal mount in game for many events, with an option to buy it later if you had missed the event and like the item.
This time instead of introducing an unrelated mount they introduce a seasonally appropriate mount, and don't put it in to the seasonal event at all.

We really don't need this post every time the mogstation gets an update. Either buy it or don't, gameplay won't change if you have this mount or don't.

I agree with this most of the time, this particular case is pretty egregious.

Once upon time, the Mogstation was not as expansive as it is right now. They had fantasias, dyes, one or two mounts, and a few chummy wearable accessories. It's not necessarily new, but they've been expanding the store more and more to the point it's starting to look like a Free-to-Play cash shop, which imo, is not appropriate for a game that has an expensive monthly sub. Not only is it an expensive monthly sub, but they've also given dire in-game incentives to keep subbed even with you can't play (e.g. your house).


Edit: exactly what this person said (quote below). The cash shop used to be minimal, and it should still be minimal due to the fact it's a subbed game and not a F2P:

My biggest issue with it is there is no way to get it in game. At all. Even if it was a 1% chance off of something that would be better than this.

If I'm going to pay for a monthly sub, I expect the cash shop to be minimal.

This isn't true at all. Brand-new seasonal mounts were gained through an in-game event and were put into the store a year later. Chocobo egg mount, Christmas bear mount, etc. They didn't go straight into the store with no opportunity to earn them in-game.

Indeed, hence why this isn't a seasonal event mount.

Not every seasonal event gets a mount.

Not every seasonal event gets a mount.

That's right.

Wow..might be time to find another game.

You know what, it just might be.

Bye.

If you miss the event you buy the rewards a year later. Seems fair enough.
