Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

Mogstation is here to stay, no matter what form it takes. Its your choice to buy or not. I mean folks were just fine without whatever item they just released before it was shown off anyways. Pony up or not, but please, just get over it.

This goes to show people have no reading comprehension. Let me break it down..A seasonal style mount was placed in the cashshop and I think its crossing the line never crossed before by SE. This mount should be available ingame because its a Spriggan which is the mascot for the Spring event. We literally got a Spriggan outfit last year.

The spriggan mount is 'technically' a holiday mount, but only in the sense of when its released, and not perhaps in its intentions or designs. What I mean is that the only thing connecting it to this event is literally that it is a spriggin. Thats it. Now Im not faulting you or anyone who makes the connection the mount is a Holiday event mount. Its a pretty simple conclusion on its face. But theres a bit more to this if you give it more consideration.

The point that is being overlooked is that mount being a spriggin or released during easter does not mean the mount was developed specifically for the event to be given to us through the event. It is very plausible that they were developing a spriggin mount from the get go and felt that now would be a decent time to release it cause Spriggans themselves are the mascot of the event, which would be a pretty good marketing ploy to be frank. It's like releasing an ocean themed mount in summer - you put the two together simply because theyre loosely associated overall, but it doesnt mean that the mount was specifically designed as a summer event mount. The spriggin is the same, particularly since nothing on the spriggin screams easter in of itself. It wouldnt feel to out of place if it was released 2 months ago, or 6 months from now.

The trouble you run into with it being a seasonal mount is that you cant definitively say or prove that SE is being money grubbing and took an event item and through it on the mogstation to fleece people. If anything, the point that this is different than anything they have done before regarding mounts released during seasonal events, paired with the fact that it doesnt have seasonal bells and whistles on it (which previous mounts had direct links to), would suggest the opposite: That this was in development and only released at this time cause it was a good marketing ploy, and not that it was intentionally developed for the event specifically and moved to mog station to fleece people.

The crux of your point seems to rely on the belief that this IS a seasonal mount developed purely because of this event, when you have no proof of this and rely only on "Easter has spriggans, this is a spriggan mount, therefore its seasonal in nature" despite the mount does not have any seasonal drappings and plausible counter explanations can be provided. It looks like you have a gut feeling about something and are pulling together ideas that prove your gut feeling, while discarding any that may run counter to it.

Keep in mind, I dont have any proof of my position either. I could be very well wrong, but this also seems very plausible considering the mount details and basic business practices.
