    If that's the case then I dunno. The store team most likely made this mount just for that if thats the case. People need to remember the team behind the store doesn't need to listen to YP. YP has no control over that dept. This is nothing new from what I'm seeing. Meanwhile, those dances go with the beat of the song - Zoo- by hocus pocus. Listen to it while using the dance. It fits so much lol.

    That, and even if I am inferring the complaints wrong, and this was a previous seasonal mount. They have been doing that for literally years, so I don't know why anyone would complain if that was the case either.

    Most games once its over, its over, and you missed your chance if you wernt there. I think thats fair enough even if it sucks and you want it. But in this game while sometimes its expensive, you have a chance to get it in a cash shop after a time. Id say thats pretty generous.
    At least it's not like ESO or something. SEASONAL LOOT BOXES.

    Rofl, I think that would bother me more then them selling the items Wholesale after a period of time.

    Now here is a theory. What if the reason they don't have loot boxes is because they don't have enough items to fill it yet. So, give the game a couple more years, and maybe more funding to the mogstation team and we will get them!

    I highly doubt that, people dont like lootboxes to begin with, I think it would effect the game Negatively if they suddenly made Lootboxes and forced you to get items via a roulette, and have to keep paying for said Roulette. They have more then enough items to fill Lootboxes, but its smarter to just sell the items Wholesale. People get what they want, the statistics show what people like...they can make more, and maybe better quality...which would drive up the price.

    But hey, give people want they want/Like, and they will pay for it.

    It was a joke. But seriously, they do not actually have enough items to fill a lootbox series for maximum profit. They do have enough mounts, but have been selling them directly for years. So. they would have to come up with new and unique mounts with maybe some "carrot on the stick" "bonus" current mounts. They also do not have enough trash to fill the lootboxes to promote continuous buying to get the "desirable" item. You wouldn't want to waste your whole shop on one single lootbox season, they should want to stretch out the desirable items they have throughout the year with bulk trash.

    Speaking of ESO, since it is somewhat relevant to this. They actually do season events, and give a handful of things you can earn in game, but have limited themes items on sale for premium currency. With their PvP event earlier this year, they had weekly limited items. As in, it seemed you had one week to buy some items before they rotated to other season themed items the next week. On top of the already limited event duration. Pretty crazy.

    I mean, its a rabbit mount being released around Easter time..when we usually have said rabbit involved in the Easter event. I'd be shocked if this wasn't made specifically for selling at this point in this point in the year lol

    I think the timing is making people ehhhhh more than the mount itself. Were this put out in summer or winter the connection to the holiday would be less obvious.
