$35, really SE?

[Haruka_R]

So if you have an issue with the price... dont buy it?

And sorry it is true the proceeds go directly to XIV development, so while yes SE does absolutely profit from XIV having a cash shop that helps fuel development costs directly isn’t exactly a bad business practice whether you like it or not.

Is it expensive sure.. probably won’t buy it myself but im not going to say “it shouldn’t be that expensive” or take issue with the cash shop, im just not going yo buy it and continue playing the game like an adult.

Thank you.

Ultimately it’s optional content that doesn’t break the game if you don’t own it.

I bought one. Can’t wait to use it when I get home later.

What? Did you expect a free mount in a game you have to already pay sub for? I'm literally shaking. How can you be so entitled? Its a small indie studio, they need more funds to keep adding less and less content.

I mean, I've never bought a mount from the store and I have many mounts in game. Go figure!

Perfect time to release a ridiculously priced Mount SE! I (and so many others) are practically swimming in cash after being furloughed, laid off or worse due to the worldwide pandemic ravaging most countries, and losing a huge chunk of my income makes it an even more enticing item to get! You was quick to remind us how patient and understanding we should be to help you take more time on patch 5.3 due to this pandemic, so thank you for repaying us like this In these dark, difficult times. It’s important to stand in solidarity with your fellow man, so how about seeing a whole server full of these premium mounts to remind us all that we’re all struggling in this financial catastrophe together.

Now I can’t wait to see the whales who have more money than sense and the bootlickers brigade hiss and spit at us poor plebeians for daring to criticise and mock how ridiculously bad taste the price and timing of this Mount being added to the store is. They might as well add some SE Crysta(l) Water to the store for £99 a bottle, what better way to support this small indie company than partake of the finest tap water money can buy?

You know what else is in bad taste? Comparing the price of a Funny Video Game Mount to the commodification of a human need by greedy megacorporations which results in the deaths of thousands of children forced to drink sludge after bottled water companies take all their potable water. Like, yeah, it's a pretty expensive little Fake Pixel Carriage, but got dang is that a horrendous allegory.

This is legit the most disgusting wallet-shaming envy filled post I've ever seen in my life. Imagine invoking something ailing the whole world to strongarm SE into giving everyone the mount for free, while still having the luxury of paying a sub and internet bills. Congrats on winning the IgNobel prize for First World Entitlement.

I mean, its in the store. So it'll be there till you actually can afford it. It might even be on sale. Calm down?


I didn't know this mount was a thing till this post. Now I want one. Not at $35, but I want it. Looking forward to the sale in a few months.

Oh joy, it's Every Cash Shop Thread Ever, back for another round.

I give the carriage a solid "eh", myself. Even without the price, it's not something I'd go out of my way for.
