$35, really SE?

I would fully support your post if SE added an in game system to also obtain items. It could be BDO level grinding. They would probably pay more attention to bots /laugh. That way people who could care less what something costs because they value time and people who value real life money could both have the same experience.



The hate for cash shop isn't going anywhere and the cash shop isn't going anywhere either. SE has probably lost a few subs over it, it can be a tipping point. 14 is in a sweet spot at the moment, the MMO market is pretty bleak right now.

Ooh, I agree with you. I'm not specifically advocating for it to be Mogstation exclusive, I just like the fact that the option is there for people with less time. The diversity of acquisition is what's important to me. Considering making gil is incredibly easy in this game and there are so many players sitting on mountains of it, having these items be available at an in-game vendor for gil would be fantastic.

I don't know if SE would ever do that though, but real money, or gil would be fine by me.

Nah, I prefer if it were exclusive, either to the game or to the cash shop. I don't want shop consideration to affect in-game content that directly or vice versa.

I wouldn't mind if it were tied to achievement certificates or whatever they're called, especially since the Veteran Rewards are super lacking. Something like 1 certificate to 1 crysta?

They have obviously earned more money from the cash shop, than lost due to disgruntled customers over the cash shop. Like, no question. Not enough to even be noticeable, probably.

For that matter, every mmo game out right now pretty much has a cash shop, and not only that, a more egregious cash shop than SE. Charging five extra dollars for a mount of this type is completely in-line with their current pricing. Do I think that most of their shop is overpriced? Heck yeah, and I don't buy most of the things in it. Now I do have a weak spot for outfits, I'll say that, but even those are pretty much industry standard. When you see that price tag '$18 dollars USD', or '$35 dollars USD', it may look bad, but other games are actually charging MORE for similar items, are obfuscating this by using fake currency, and receiving seemingly less of an outrage. Not only using "limited time" schemes (artificial scarcity), and charging exorbitant amounts of money, or loot boxes. Don't even get me started on BDO's shop in general, at least when I played, that was a mess. What I am trying to say is , even with the feigned outrage over this mount, SE isn't going to be hurting over players, because of it. I highly doubt the cash shop would be a reason to ever leave this game for another MMO, when that other MMO will most likely have a WORSE cash shop than this one.

Hundreds upon hundreds of hours (minimum) for cash shop items, in most of these games. Egregious. SE would never do mogstation products for gil either.

I don't want this. People will then start complaining how bad/horrible the grind is and then people will go "just buy the damn thing!" constantly. Though I do like the idea I've seen of using achievement points for credit towards one (I've been sitting on so many for ages).

Players are just saying whatever they want to say
Just looks at other thread that demanding SE to put Feast Mount on the cash shops.
You guys still decide to continue the pointless argument on a topic that showing up periodically by players that don't understand the definition of vanity.
What is the point?

Back to the original point, no I don't think the mount is too expensive. As some others said it pales in comparison to glamour prices. The mount is an ACCOUNT WIDE four seater. The glamours are for a single character only, so if you want one for every character good luck with that money, and as said you usually have to buy a whole outfit for just one or two pieces you want, which is crazy.
My problem with the mount if anything is that it's huge, and we know people like to park their huge mounts to cover npcs and all. Luckily at least in Eulmore mounts aren't allowed.

because I've seen a bunch already.

I mean, they'll keep increasing the price as long as people buy it so...
