Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I find these condescending attitudes to be quite amusing. I'm sure you're laughing at me just as hard as I'm laughing at you.

Some people like reminiscing about the days when a purchase for a product actually gave you the entire product. If I wanted to unlock an extra outfit in a Super Nintendo game, I didn't have to buy an extra cartridge. If I wanted a larger game that was more expensive to make, I simply paid more.

But apparently, in the minds of people on this forum, bringing that sort of thing up makes you:

-a crybaby
-ungrateful
-spitting on the developers

The logic is asinine and absurd, seeing as to how, of all places, this was brought up in a forum intended for discussion.

News flash - if people like me were truly ungrateful crybabies who wanted to spit on the developers, we wouldn't be here. We'd unsubscribe, delete our characters, and terminate our service accounts to ensure we'd never come back and give them another dollar. But here we are, venting instead of unsubbing.


Don't speak for me. I just don't like a partial package. If they need more money to keep things running, there are plenty of other ways to get money out of me.

Even if One of them is abit rude and over the top, he isn't wrong on the Simple Point - Dont like it, dont buy it. How hard is that?

Now then...What Old Super Nintendo Game is a subscription Based MMO that is updated over the years with Brand New content on a Quarterly(?) basis, that gives you literally everything for free by just playing the game? You are aware of how much your given in this game through patches and updates right? So to sit here and get upset about a Premium Mount not being free for the event: that it isn't even themed around, does look and sound abit Entitled and Ungrateful.
And What Partial Package are you talking about? A Sprag mount which is a singular item? I mean dude, if a mount upsets you, I can't picture SE selling anything on the Mogstation that wouldn't be seen as a "Partial Deal". More then likely it would be the same argument "I should be able to get it for free in game."
So it sounds like...SE can't win.

It's not a matter of liking it or not. The issue here is that mount should have been part of the hatching tide event.
They have been selling mounts for years and I even bought some however I don't want seasonal event to be like this:
random minion/glam/emote in game and an seasonal based mount on mogstation.

Should have? Why, because it's related to the monster that Squeenix has linked to the event?
It's very possible the entire concept was inspired by the event, but if it's the cash shop team that conceptualized and produced it, it's cash shop stuff.

What makes this Mount Seasonal, and why 'should' it be part of the event?
Because its a Sprag? Does that automatically mean its an Easter Themed mount? So if there was a Sprag Themed Weapon that means its an Easter Weapon?
Ive looked at it Multipe times, I fail to see why peope think its a Seasonal Mount. Just because there is a Sprag idoesnt mean its easter

All Easter events feature eggs and spriggans. The literally gave Spriggan set as last year's reward. I fail to NOT see a connection.

Yes because the fact it is a spriggan with a basket sold with last year hatching tide item and one week before hatching tide as nothing to do with the theme.

What next? A spooky mount for halloween but hey just because it's a ghost doesn't mean it related to halloween.
Lol.

The point being that spriggan was a mob before the event was even a thing. So just because it is a spriggan doesn't mean it's always going to be an easter theme mount. And even if it was, if the cash shop team made it for the cash shop then that means it was most likely never going to be an ingame mount. So if the store wasn't here, chances are it wasn't going to be made at all. Plus it's called marketing....

So if I sell you a ham during Lent, is it a Lent ham?

Just because its a spriggan doesn't make it easter. Either way you are entitled to your opinion.

It's a mount with a possible seasonal theme. It doesn't make it a seasonal event mount. I think SE is moving away from seasonal event mount in favor of account-wide store mounts.

Maybe I'm wrong. When was the last time they had a seasonal event mount? The Valentione couples mount? When was that and is there anything newer than that? Is there any seasonal event mount that does not end up at the Mog Station as a single character mount?

[MelodyCrystel]

Halloween, last year. It was a cute orange Ahriman with a purple eye, fitting hat and special "attack".
