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.

[Deceptus]

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.

While I'm alright enough with the Mog Station's existence, I do have to admit that the timing of these new goodies being added does make it feel like the event isn't in-game only.

That said the rewards from the event itself are really good.

I have very mixed feelings about all this.

Smart players don't need to pay for optional items, the standard subscription paid every 180 days and no additional retainers is affordable, of course the player is doomed to be limited in game being unable to carry all those items.

It's not a seasonal event item unless you can only obtain it during the seasonal event. In fact, if it were a seasonal event item, it might be character-restricted, which means any character you make in the future might not have it unless you make another purchase. That account-wide feature is the reason it's so expensive.

Wow..might be time to find another game.

You know what, it just might be.

Bye.

I see what you are saying but whether or not its a seasonal item is besides the point. This is another item that could have been in the game that we pay for monthly. Its wrong what they are doing period. All of us paid a sub and expansions to play this. Nothing like this should be locked off for more money.

I was about to say this. A Spriggan is as much a seasonal mount as the Indigo Whale. Unless they specifically made it to be a part of an event, like the Witch's Broom or the Christmas bear, it's not a seasonal item.

"You dont have to buy it" Dont bother...

You don't. I didn't buy the Fat Cat or the whale, because I had no desire to. It's that simple. I think people need to separate mmos from traditional $60 retail games, because they aren't structured the same.

[Lathander81]

I see what you are saying but I have to disagree. Smart people should question why they pay a sub and still cant get all the items in the game.
