    The cash shop exists to make even more money, which is their right of course, not going to begrudge a company for doing what it was created to do. Just saying that all the other reasons given were almost certainly made up after in order to justify the shops existence to us.
    This game is also partly responsible for putting in that black hole or you going forget how much of screw up 1.x XIV was.

    Wow, 36 bucks. With that price tag, I hope it can do stuff no other mount can, because 36 doesn't suit for a mount that is essentially just a repurposed object from ARR.

    Note to all the bootlickers who say this is okay: You do realize that this is almost the same price as you paid for Shadowbringers? I couldn't care less about your argument of "development costs"and whatnot.
    You already bought the base game, bought the expansions, pay your 12-15 hours sub, pay additional money for more retainers. How the frick is this not enough to pay development costs? The mount, that is now repurposed, was an ARR mount mind you.

    I may as well have been talking to a wall, since the cashwhales are immune to reasoning. With that price tag, I would rather go buy a different game or buy Greymoor. Way more valuable than a mount...

    But they are bootlickers, anyone buying this mount is.

    With this price tag, I want there to be a GTA V style of customization to the mount. As it is worth almost an expansion.

    SE turned a shoddy product that wasn't popular and cost them money into a good product that is popular and makes them money, good for them.

    I'm afraid you're going to have to explain how this relates to my point that the game is plenty profitable and the cash shop exists to make money.

    Yeah... For supposedly being the race the devs were so passionate and adamant about doing vs Viera being the fan-requested "afterthought" addition they really did you guys dirty.

    Well she isn't wrong. Anyone ok with that much for a single mount is deep in the fog. This is just SE being greedy plan and simple

    No, a price is OK defined on whether enough people buy it or not. Like everything else in life.

    Anyone not ok with this price should probably stop imposing their avarice on others, and stop trying to wallet-shame people.

    Lol, the amount of salt in here over the mount. Personally i also think it's a little high but i really don't care. Why? Because i don't need it nor do i want to buy it. I feel like some people complain just to complain because they have nothing else better to do.
